During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Museum of Afro-American History
The final stop on the Black Heritage Trail, this museum offers a comprehensive look at the history and contributions of blacks in Boston and Massachusetts. It occupies the recently restored Abiel Smith School (1834), the first American public grammar school for African-American children, and the African Meeting House, 8 Smith Court. Changing and permanent exhibits use art, artifacts, documents, historic photographs, and other objects -- including many family heirlooms -- to explore an important era that often takes a back seat in Revolutionary War-obsessed New England. Children enjoy the interactive touch-screen displays and multimedia presentations, and the patient, enthusiastic staff helps them put the exhibits in context. The oldest standing black church in the United States, the meeting house opened in 1806. William Lloyd Garrison founded the New England Anti-Slavery Society in this building, where Frederick Douglass made some of his great abolitionist speeches. Once known as the "Black Faneuil Hall," it also schedules lectures, concerts, and church meetings.

James Rego Square (Paul Revere Mall)
A pleasant little brick-paved park known as the Prado, the mall holds a famous equestrian statue of Paul Revere. Take time to read some of the tablets on the left-hand wall that describe famous people and places in the history of the North End.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Walk around the fountain and continue to Salem Street.
Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the
Boston area, including:
YWCA Boston, Berkeley Residence
This pleasant, convenient women-only hotel and residence offers a dining room, patio garden, piano, and library. The well-kept public areas also include a TV lounge. The dorm-style guest rooms are basic, containing little more than beds, but they're well maintained and comfortable -- not plush, but not cells either. That description might not seem to justify the prices, but check around a little before you turn up your nose.
Boston Harbor Hotel
The Boston Harbor Hotel is one of the finest hotels in town -- and certainly the prettiest, with a landmark arch that links land and sea. The 16-story brick building is within walking distance of downtown and the waterfront attractions, and it prides itself on offering top-notch service to travelers pursuing both business and pleasure.The plush guest rooms look out on the harbor or the skyline. Each standard unit is a luxurious bedroom/living-room combination, with mahogany furnishings that include an armoire, a desk, and comfortable chairs. Rooms with city views are less expensive but currently face the construction zone that has succeeded the Big Dig. The best units are suites with private terraces and dazzling water vistas. Tip: The grand public spaces hold a museum-quality collection of paintings, drawings, prints, and nautical charts, so be sure to check them out.Facilities: Excellent restaurant (New England); cafe; bar; 60-ft. indoor lap pool; well-appointed health club and spa; concierge; courtesy car; state-of-the-art business center with professional staff; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; video rentals. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
Onyx Hotel
This plush boutique hotel opened in 2004 on a side street near North Station. It's the only full-service lodging in the neighborhood, within easy walking distance of downtown and Beacon Hill. It's also a stone's throw from the commuter rail, but so comfortable that you might not want to commute too far. The 10-story hotel is contemporary in style, decorated in soothing jewel tones with sleek lines and high ceilings that make the decent-size rooms feel even bigger. Each room holds a large work desk and has well-appointed bathroom. The best units are the top-floor suites, but any room with a floor-to-ceiling window feels like a mini-palace. This neighborhood is somewhat run-down, but it's improving more quickly than any other part of town, thanks to the end of the Big Dig and the demolition of the elevated Green Line. The Onyx is the second hotel that the kid-friendly Kimpton chain has opened in the Boston area (Hotel Marlowe was the first).
