During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Park Street Church
Henry James described this 1809 structure with a 217-foot steeple as "the most interesting mass of bricks and mortar in America." The church has accumulated an impressive number of firsts: The first missionaries to Hawaii left from here in 1819; the prominent abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison gave his first antislavery speech here on July 4, 1829; and "America" (commonly known as "My Country 'Tis of Thee") was first sung here on July 4, 1831. You're standing on "Brimstone Corner," named either for the passion of the Congregational ministers who declaimed from the pulpit, or for the fact that gunpowder (made from brimstone) was stored in the basement during the War of 1812. This was part of the site of a huge granary that became a public building after the Revolutionary War. In the 1790s, the sails for USS Constitution ("Old Ironsides") were manufactured in the former granary.
Blue Hills Trailside Museum
This museum at the 7,500-acre Blue Hills Reservation recreation area is fun for all ages and especially popular with the under-10 set. The museum is at the foot of Great Blue Hill, a 20-minute drive south of Boston. Here you'll see replicas of the natural habitats found in the area, displays about the Native Americans who once lived here, and live animal exhibits. Resident animals include owls, honeybees, otters, foxes, snakes, and turtles. Children can feed the ducks, deer, and turkeys. Other activities include hiking and climbing the lookout tower. On weekends, there's story time at 11am and natural-history programs at 1 and 2pm. Special events and family programs change with the seasons; call ahead to register.
The New England Holocaust Memorial
Erected in 1995, these six glass towers spring up in the midst of attractions that celebrate freedom, reminding visitors of the consequences of a world without it. The pattern on the glass, which at first appears merely decorative, is actually 6 million random numbers, one for each Jew who died during the Holocaust. As you pass through, pause to read the inscriptions.To continue on the Freedom Trail: The trail now passes through a lot of post-Big Dig construction and emerges in the North End. Follow Cross Street to Hanover Street, turn left, and follow Hanover to Richmond Street. Turn right, go 1 block, and turn left.
The MidTown Hotel
Even without free parking and an outdoor pool, this centrally located two-story hotel would be a good deal for families, budget-conscious businesspeople, and tour groups. The boxy white building is on a busy street within walking distance of Symphony Hall and the Museum of Fine Arts. The well-maintained rooms are large, bright, and attractively outfitted in no-frills contemporary style, although bathrooms are on the small side. Some units have connecting doors that allow families to spread out. The best rooms are at the back of the building, away from Huntington Avenue. Many rooms have two-line phones and high-speed Internet access; photocopying and fax services are available at the front desk.
Radisson Hotel Cambridge
This former Howard Johnson hotel is an attractive, modern 16-story tower across the street from the Charles River. It has an indoor swimming pool, and Radisson replaced all the furniture when it took over in 2000. Each room has a picture window, and some have private balconies. Prices vary with the size of the room, the floor, and the view; the panorama of the Boston skyline from higher floors on the river side of the building is worth the extra money. The hotel is near the major college campuses and the Mass. Pike. It's 10 minutes by car from downtown Boston but not near public transit -- leave time for the hotel shuttle.Facilities: 2 restaurants (Japanese, Greek); indoor pool; exercise room; concierge; shuttle to Harvard, Central, and Kendall squares and Massachusetts General Hospital; business center; room service until 10pm; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
Boston Marriott Long Wharf
The landmark Marriott's chief appeal is its location, a stone's throw from the New England Aquarium. It attracts business travelers with its proximity to the Financial District, and woos families with its pool and easy access to downtown and waterfront attractions. The hotel's terraced brick exterior is one of the most recognizable sights on the harbor; inside, the seven-story atrium contributes to the airy feel of the public spaces. Rooms and bathrooms underwent extensive renovation in 2002; each large unit has either one king-size or two double beds (with pillow-top mattresses), and a table and chairs in front of the window. Rooms are quite sunny (the stand-alone building has no neighbors to block the light), decorated in earth tones with red and gold accents that complement the cherry furnishings. Rooms close to the water afford good views of the wharves and the waterfront; units closer to Atlantic Avenue have a newly peaceful post-Big Dig atmosphere.Facilities: Restaurant (seafood); cafe and lounge; bar and grill; indoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; game room; concierge; tour desk; 24-hr. business center; room service until 2am; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; executive-level rooms. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
