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.
Old Granary Burying Ground
This cemetery, established in 1660, was once part of Boston Common. You'll see the graves of patriots Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, John Hancock, and James Otis; merchant Peter Faneuil (spelled "Funal"); and Benjamin Franklin's parents. Also buried here are the victims of the Boston Massacre (discussed below) and the wife of Isaac Vergoose, who is believed to be "Mother Goose" of nursery rhyme fame. Note that gravestone rubbing, however tempting, is illegal in Boston's historic cemeteries.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Turn left as you leave the cemetery and continue 1 1/2 blocks on Tremont Street.
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.
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.
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.
Wyndham Boston
This luxury hotel is contemporary yet conservative -- 21st-century amenities in an Art Deco package. The meticulously designed hotel opened in a complete rehab of the 1928 Batterymarch Building in 1999. Like other downtown lodgings, it draws business travelers during the week and leisure travelers on weekends. The 14-story building is near Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the Waterfront, but not all that close (by downtown standards) to the T. The spacious guest rooms have 9 1/2-foot ceilings and cordless two-line phones. The best units, on the upper floors, afford great views of the harbor and downtown. Soundproofing throughout makes the whole building -- even the halls -- exceptionally quiet. The Wyndham's closest competitor, literally and figuratively, is the Langham, which is less convenient to public transit but has a swimming pool.
