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.

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.

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.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Boston area, including:

Hilton Boston Logan Airport
Smack in the middle of the airport, the Hilton draws most of its guests from meetings, conventions, and recently canceled flights. It's convenient and well equipped for business travelers, and it's an excellent fallback for vacationers in search of a deal who don't mind a short commute to downtown. Guest rooms are large and tastefully furnished, with plenty of business features, including two-line speakerphones. The best units, on the higher floors of the 10-story building (which opened in 1999), afford sensational views of the airport and harbor. The big concern with a hotel this close to the runways is noise, but the picture-window views of approaching aircraft look like TV with the sound off. A shuttle bus connects the hotel to all airport locations; walkways also link the building to Terminals A (nearby) and E (a long walk). The Hyatt Harborside (discussed below) is the closest competition -- it's at the edge of the airport, on the water, which means less commotion outside but less convenient access to the T.Facilities: Restaurant (American); Irish pub; coffee counter; indoor lap pool; health club and spa; concierge; 24-hr. shuttle bus service to airport destinations, including car-rental offices and ferry dock, with on-bus electronic check-in; well-equipped business center; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.

The Colonnade Hotel
The seasonal "rooftop resort" and swimming pool are probably this hotel's best-known features, with excellent service a close runner-up. Adjacent to Copley Place and the Prudential Center, the independently owned Colonnade is a slice of Europe in the all-American shopping paradise of the Back Bay. It caters to working travelers, to visitors engaging in retail therapy, and to children of all ages with the "VIKids" program and a rubber ducky in every bathroom. You'll likely hear at least a dozen languages spoken by the guests and the friendly, professional staff of this 11-story concrete-and-glass hotel.The elegance of the quiet, high-ceilinged public spaces here carries over to the large guest rooms, which were spruced up in 2000. All have contemporary oak or mahogany furnishings and marble bathrooms (each with its own phone). Units on the Huntington Avenue side overlook the bustling Prudential Center complex, while rooms at the back survey the pleasant patchwork of the South End. Suites have dining rooms and sitting areas, and the "author's suite" contains autographed copies of the work of celebrated (or at least published) literary guests.Facilities: Restaurant; bar; heated outdoor rooftop pool; state-of-the-art fitness center; concierge; 24-hr. business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.

Best Western Boston/The Inn at Longwood Medical
Next to Children's Hospital in the Longwood Medical Area, this eight-story hotel is a good base for those with business at the hospitals. Beth Israel Deaconess and Brigham and Women's hospitals, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and the Joslin Diabetes Center are within walking distance. Near museums, colleges, and Fenway Park, the hotel is about 20 minutes from downtown Boston by T.Guest rooms are quite large and furnished in contemporary style, and rates include free local phone calls. Try to stay on the highest floor possible, not just because the views are better but because the busy intersection of Longwood and Brookline avenues is less than scenic. Suites have kitchen facilities that make them a good choice for long-term guests. The hotel adjoins the Longwood Galleria business complex, which has a food court and shops, including a drugstore.Facilities: Restaurant (international); lounge; exercise room; access to nearby health club ($8-$10 per day); concierge; tour desk; airport shuttle; room service until 11pm; coin laundry; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
