During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Boston Massacre Site
A ring of cobblestones on a traffic island marks the location of the skirmish that helped consolidate the spirit of rebellion in the colonies. On March 5, 1770, angered at the presence of royal troops in Boston, colonists threw snowballs, garbage, rocks, and other debris at a group of redcoats. The soldiers panicked and fired into the crowd, killing five men. Their graves, including that of Crispus Attucks, the first black man to die in the Revolution, are in the Old Granary Burying Ground.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Turn left onto Congress Street and walk down the hill.
Massachusetts State House
Boston is one of the only American cities where a building whose cornerstone was laid in 1795 (by Gov. Samuel Adams) would be called the "new" anything. Nevertheless, this is the new State House, as opposed to the Old State House. The great Federal-era architect Charles Bulfinch designed the central building of the state capitol, and in 1802 copper sheathing manufactured by Paul Revere replaced the shingles on the landmark dome. Gold leaf now covers the dome; during World War II blackouts, it was painted black. The state legislature, or Massachusetts General Court, meets here. The House of Representatives congregates under a wooden fish, the Sacred Cod. John Rowe, known as "Merchant" Rowe (Rowes Wharf bears his name), donated the carving in 1784 as a reminder of the importance of fishing to the local economy. Tours (guided and self-guided) leave from the second floor; call ahead to see whether weekend hours have been reinstated.Whether or not you go inside, be sure to study some of the many statues outside. Subjects range from Mary Dyer, a Quaker hanged on the Common in 1660 for refusing to abandon her religious beliefs, to Pres. John F. Kennedy. The 60-foot monument at the rear (off Bowdoin St.) illustrates Beacon Hill's original height, before the top was shorn off to use in 19th-century landfill projects.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Walk down Park Street (which Bulfinch laid out in 1804) to Tremont Street.
John F. Kennedy Library and Museum
The Kennedy era springs to life at this dramatic library, museum, and educational research complex overlooking Dorchester Bay. It captures the 35th president's accomplishments and legacy in video and sound recordings and fascinating displays of memorabilia and photos. Far from being a static experience, it changes regularly, with temporary shows and reinterpreted displays that highlight and complement the permanent exhibits. An exhibit called Campaign! (through Jan 31, 2005) explores the young senator's run for the White House.Your visit begins with a 17-minute film narrated by John F. Kennedy -- a detail that seems eerie for a moment, then perfectly natural. Through skillfully edited audio clips, he discusses his childhood, education, war experience, and early political career. Then you enter the museum to spend as much time as you like on each exhibit. Starting with the 1960 presidential campaign, the displays immerse you in the era. The connecting galleries hold campaign souvenirs, a film of Kennedy debating Richard Nixon and of Kennedy delivering his inaugural address, a replica of the Oval Office, gifts from foreign dignitaries, letters, documents, and keepsakes. There's a film about the Cuban Missile Crisis and displays on Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, the civil rights movement, the Peace Corps, the space program, and the Kennedy family. As the tour winds down, you pass through a darkened chamber where news reports of John F. Kennedy's assassination and funeral play. The final room, the soaring glass-enclosed pavilion that is the heart of the I. M. Pei design, affords a glorious view of the water and the Boston skyline.
Charlesmark Hotel
In an excellent location overlooking the Boston Marathon finish line, the Charlesmark has a boutique feel and great prices. It's both luxurious and -- literally, not figuratively -- no frills. The sleek, contemporary design evokes a yacht, using custom furnishings to pack plenty of comfort into the compact spaces of the 1886 building. While the rooms are small, they have enough space to hold a comfortable chair. Plus, beds have pillow-top mattresses. The amenities don't challenge the perks of the large hotels in this neighborhood, but they're more than sufficient for most business or leisure travelers. The second-floor lobby holds a computer and printer for guests' use. Breakfast is included in the rates, and light refreshments such as bottled water and fruit are always available at no charge, part of management's policy not to pile a lot of incidentals onto your bill (the same rationale applies to the free local phone calls). The only real drawback is that the building has just one elevator -- and if that's your biggest problem, you're doing pretty well.
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).
Hotel Commonwealth
Like a Hollywood starlet strolling the red carpet in vintage Chanel, this boutique hotel is a hot young thing with a traditional, elegant look. Opened in 2003 in a brand-new six-story building in the heart of Kenmore Square, it boasts extensive business features as well as luxurious amenities such as Frette linens and large marble bathrooms. Formerly quite scruffy, Kenmore Square has undergone a face-lift -- helped immeasurably by the construction of this building. Boston University is a partner in the hotel, which draws a lot of business from the school and from local cultural institutions. My favorite guest rooms are the huge Commonwealth units; each has a king bed and a heavy curtain that draws across the center of the room, separating the sleeping area and the "parlor." These rooms overlook the bustling street, where plans call for outdoor restaurant seating, landscaping, and a new bus station. You might prefer a Fenway room -- they're smaller, but they face the legendary ballpark (directly across the Mass. Turnpike).
