During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Faneuil Hall
Built in 1742 (and enlarged by a Charles Bulfinch design in 1805), this building was a gift to the town from prosperous merchant Peter Faneuil. This "Cradle of Liberty" rang with speeches by orators such as Samuel Adams -- whose statue stands outside the Congress Street entrance -- in the years leading to the Revolution. Abolitionists, temperance advocates, and suffragists used the hall as a pulpit in later years. The upstairs is still a public meeting and concert hall, while the downstairs holds retail space, all according to Faneuil's will. The grasshopper weather vane, the sole remaining detail from the original building, is modeled after the weather vane on London's Royal Exchange.National Park Service rangers give free 20-minute talks every half-hour from 9am to 5pm in the second-floor auditorium and operate a visitor center on the first floor. On the top floor is a small museum that houses the weapons collection and historical exhibits of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts. Admission is free.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Leave Faneuil Hall, cross North Street, and follow the trail through the "Blackstone Block." These buildings, among the oldest in the city, give a sense of the scale of 18th- and 19th-century Boston. In the park at the corner of North and Union streets are two sculptures of legendary Boston mayor (and Congressman, and federal prisoner) James Michael Curley, the basis for the protagonist of Edwin O'Connor's The Last Hurrah. Pause on Union Street.
New England Aquarium
This complex is home to more than 15,000 fish and aquatic mammals, and at busy times, it seems to contain at least that many people -- in July and August, try to make this your first stop of the morning, especially on weekends. You'll want to spend at least half a day here, and huge afternoon crowds can make getting around painfully slow. Also consider investing in a Boston CityPass; it allows you to skip the ticket line, which can be uncomfortably long, and may represent a savings on the steep admission charge. The Simons IMAX Theatre, which has its own building, hours, and admission fees, is worth planning ahead for too. Its 85-foot-by-65-foot screen shows 3-D films with digital sound that concentrate on the natural world. It's a dizzying experience.The focal point of the main building is the four-story, 200,000-gallon Giant Ocean Tank. A four-story spiral ramp encircles the tank, which contains a replica of a Caribbean coral reef and an assortment of sea creatures that seem to coexist amazingly well. Part of the reason for the peace might be that scuba divers feed the sharks twice a day. Other exhibits show off freshwater and tropical specimens, a wide variety of jellyfish, denizens of the Amazon, and the ecology of Boston Harbor. The floating marine mammal pavilion, Discovery, is home to performing sea lions. At the Edge of the Sea exhibit, visitors can touch the sea stars, sea urchins, and horseshoe crabs in the tide pool. The Aquarium Medical Center is especially involving -- it's a working veterinary hospital.Naturalist-led harbor tours that teach "Science at Sea" run daily in the spring, summer, and fall. Discounts are available when you combine a visit to the aquarium with an IMAX film, harbor tour, or whale watch.
USS Constitution Museum
Just inland from the vessel, the museum features participatory exhibits that allow visitors to hoist a flag, fire a cannon, swing in a hammock, and learn more about the ship. The interactive computer displays and naval artifacts appeal to visitors of all ages. A new exhibit about the Barbary War (the only such exhibit in the United States) allows you to decide whether to risk a ship in the Mediterranean. The museum's collections include more than 3,000 items, arranged and interpreted in ways that put them in context.At the navy yard here, National Park Service rangers (tel. 617/242-5601) staff an information booth and give free 1-hour guided tours of the base.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Follow the trail up Constitution Road, crossing Chelsea Street, and continue to the Bunker Hill Monument. A more interesting, slightly longer route runs from Chelsea Street and Rutherford Avenue (back at the bridge) across City Square Park.
The Hyatt Regency Cambridge
Location is both a pro and a con for the Hyatt Regency -- it's self-contained and offers beautiful views, but it's slightly out of the way. Across the street from the Charles River and not far from the Allston/Brighton exit of the turnpike, the hotel is convenient to Kendall and Harvard squares and Boston University. Scheduled shuttle service and luxurious appointments help make up for the distance from downtown Boston (about 10 min. by car). The dramatic brick building encloses a 16-story atrium with glass elevators, fountains, trees, and balconies. The best of the spacious guest rooms, which were last renovated in 1997, afford breathtaking views of Boston and the river. A business destination during the week, the hotel also courts families with special two-room rates, subject to availability. If you plan to rely on public transit, allow plenty of time for bus rides, and acquaint yourself with the hotel shuttle schedule. The closest competitor is the Doubletree, which is even less centrally located but is an all-suite lodging.Facilities: Revolving rooftop restaurant and lounge (Italian); lobby restaurant and lounge (international); 75-ft. indoor lap pool; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; bike rental; concierge; shuttle to Cambridge and Boston destinations; business center; room service until late evening; laundry service; dry cleaning; ATM and currency exchange. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
Anthony's Town House
The Anthony family has operated this four-story brownstone guesthouse since 1944, and a stay here is very much like spending the night at Grandma's. Many patrons are Europeans accustomed to guesthouse accommodations with shared bathrooms, and budget-minded Americans won't be disappointed. Each floor has three high-ceilinged rooms furnished in rather ornate Queen Anne or Victorian style, and one bathroom with an enclosed shower. Smaller rooms (one per floor) have twin beds; the large front rooms have bay windows. Guests have the use of two refrigerators. The guesthouse is 1 mile from Boston's Kenmore Square, about 15 minutes from downtown by T, and 2 blocks from a busy commercial strip. The late-19th-century building is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Inn at Harvard
At first glance, the redbrick Inn at Harvard looks almost like a college dorm -- it's adjacent to Harvard Yard, and its Georgian-style architecture would fit nicely on campus. Inside, however, there's no mistaking it for anything other than an elegant hotel, popular with business travelers and university visitors. The elegant guest rooms, which were redecorated in 2002, contain pillow-top beds, either a lounge chair or two armchairs around a table, a work area, and an original painting from the Fogg Art Museum. Some units have dormer windows and window seats. The four-story sky-lit atrium holds the "living room," a huge, well-appointed guest lounge that's suitable for meeting with a visitor if you don't want to conduct business in your room.Facilities: Restaurant (New England); dining privileges at the nearby Harvard Faculty Club; free access to nearby health club; concierge; room service until 10:30pm; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning. 6 rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
