During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Boston Common
In 1634, when their settlement was just 4 years old, the town fathers paid the Rev. William Blackstone £30 for this property. In 1640 it was set aside as common land. The 45 or so acres of the country's oldest public park have served as a cow pasture, a military camp, and the site of hangings, protest marches, and visits by dignitaries. Today the Common is a bit run-down, especially compared with the adjacent Public Garden, but it buzzes with activity all day. You might see a demonstration, a musical performance, a picnic lunch, or a game of tag -- almost everything but a cow. Cows have been banned since 1830, which seems to be one of the few events related to the Common that isn't commemorated with a plaque.One of the loveliest markers is on this route; head up the hill from the train station inside the fence. At Beacon Street is a memorial designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens to celebrate the deeds (indeed, the very existence) of Col. Robert Gould Shaw and the Union Army's 54th Massachusetts Colored Regiment, who fought in the Civil War. You might remember the story of the first American army unit made up of free black soldiers from the movie Glory.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Cross Beacon Street.
Harvard University Art Museums
The Fogg Art Museum, the Busch-Reisinger Museum, and the Arthur M. Sackler Museum house some 160,000 works, from ancient sculptures to contemporary photos. The exhibit spaces also serve as teaching and research facilities. If you prefer to explore with a guide, take a tour of the Fogg weekdays at 11am, of the Busch-Reisinger weekdays at 1pm (both year-round), or of the Sackler at 2pm weekdays September through June, Wednesdays only in July and August.The Fogg Art Museum (32 Quincy St., near Broadway) is composed of two floors of galleries opening off an impressive 16th-century Italian stone courtyard. Each of the 19 rooms here displays something different -- among the offerings are 17th-century Dutch and Flemish landscapes, 19th-century British and American paintings and drawings, French paintings and drawings from the 18th century through the Impressionist period, and contemporary sculpture. Changing exhibits often draw on the museum's extensive collections of paintings, drawings, prints, and photos.The Busch-Reisinger Museum in Werner Otto Hall (enter through the Fogg) concentrates on the painting, sculpture, and decorative art of northern and central Europe, specifically Germany. Particularly notable are the early-20th-century collections, including works by Klee, Feininger, Kandinsky, and artists and designers associated with the Bauhaus.The Arthur M. Sackler Museum (485 Broadway, at Quincy St.) houses Asian, ancient, Islamic, and Later Indian art. Here you'll find internationally renowned Chinese jades, superb Roman sculptures, Greek vases, Korean ceramics, Japanese woodblock prints, and Persian miniature paintings and calligraphy.
Faneuil Hall Marketplace
Ever since Boston's most popular attraction was restored and reopened in 1976, cities all over the country have imitated the "festival market" concept. A complex of shops, food counters, restaurants, bars, and public spaces, Faneuil Hall Marketplace brims with Boston flavor (and the inevitable national chain outlets). Its popularity with visitors and suburbanites is so great that you could be forgiven for thinking that the only Bostonians in the crowd are employees.The marketplace includes five buildings -- the central three-building complex is on the National Register of Historic Places -- set on brick and stone plazas that teem with crowds shopping, eating, performing, watching performers, people-watching, and just generally enjoying themselves. In warm weather, the whole area is busy from just after dawn until well past dark. Quincy Market (you'll also hear the whole complex called by that name) is the central three-level Greek revival-style building. It reopened after extensive renovations on August 26, 1976, 150 years after Mayor Josiah Quincy opened the original market. The South Market building reopened on August 26, 1977, the North Market building on August 26, 1978.The central corridor of Quincy Market is the food court, where you can find anything from a bagel to a full Greek dinner, a fruit smoothie to an ice cream sundae. On either side, under the glass canopies, are full-service restaurants as well as pushcarts that sell everything from crafts created by New England artisans to hokey souvenirs. Here you'll find a bar that exactly replicates the set of the TV show Cheers. In the plaza between the South Canopy and the South Market building is an information kiosk. On warm evenings, the tables that spill outdoors from the restaurants and bars fill with people. One constant since the year after the market -- the original 1826 market -- opened is Durgin-Park, a traditional New England restaurant known for its good-naturedly crabby waitresses.Faneuil Hall itself sometimes gets overlooked, but it's well worth a visit. Known as the "Cradle of Liberty" for its role as a venue for inspirational (some might say inflammatory) speech in the years leading to the Revolutionary War, the building opened in 1742 and was expanded using a Charles Bulfinch design in 1805. National Park Service rangers give free 20-minute talks every half-hour from 9am to 5pm in the second-floor auditorium.
Longwood Inn
In a residential area 3 blocks from the Boston-Brookline border, this well-maintained three-story Victorian guesthouse offers comfortable accommodations at modest rates. Like the neighborhood, the interior style is homey, with Victorian accents that suit the building's architecture. Guests have the use of a fully equipped kitchen, common dining room, and TV lounge. There's one apartment with a private bathroom, kitchen, and balcony. Tennis courts, a running track, and a playground at the school next door are open to the public. Public transportation is easily accessible, and the Longwood Medical Area and busy Coolidge Corner neighborhood are within walking distance.
Seaport Hotel
The independent Seaport Hotel rises out of the Big Dig like the Emerald City, with a distinct air of fantasy about it. The hotel, which opened in 1998, was designed and built by Fidelity Investments with every feature that pampered, techno-savvy business travelers might dream of. It's across the street from the World Trade Center and about 10 minutes by cab from the airport or the Financial District. If you plan to take public transit, leave time for the hotel shuttle from South Station or for a long walk through and around heavy construction.The decent-size rooms have all the usual perks plus extras such as Logan Airport flight information on the TV and fog-free mirrors in the well-appointed bathrooms. The views (of the city or the harbor) are excellent, especially from the higher floors. The kid-conscious staff, pool, great weekend packages, and proximity to the Children's Museum make this a good choice for families, too.Facilities: Well-regarded restaurant (contemporary American); cafe; lounge; 50-ft. indoor pool; newly expanded health club; sauna; bike rental; concierge; car-rental desk; courtesy car; shuttle to South Station; 24-hr. business center with professional staff (7am-8pm); 24-hr. room service; massage; same-day dry cleaning; executive suites.
Chandler Inn Hotel
The comfortable, unpretentious Chandler Inn is a bargain for its location, just 2 blocks from the Back Bay. The guest rooms, revamped in 2000, have individual climate control and tasteful contemporary-style furniture, including desks, small wardrobes, and TV armoires. Each holds a queen or double bed or two twin beds, though there's no room to squeeze in a cot. Bathrooms are tiny, and the one elevator in the eight-story inn can be slow, but the staff is welcoming and helpful. This is a gay-friendly hotel (Fritz, the bar next to the lobby, is a neighborhood gay hangout) and often books up early. Plan ahead.
