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.
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.
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 Charles Hotel
This nine-story brick hotel, located a block away from Harvard Square, has been the place for business and leisure travelers to Cambridge since it opened in 1985. Much of its fame derives from its excellent restaurants, jazz bar, and day spa; the service is equally impeccable. In the recently refurbished guest rooms, the style is contemporary country, with custom adaptations of early American Shaker furniture. The austere design contrasts with the indulgent amenities, which include down quilts and Bose Wave radios; bathrooms contain telephones and TVs. And it wouldn't be Cambridge if your intellectual needs went unfulfilled -- there's a library in the lobby.Facilities: 2 restaurants (Rialto, one of Boston's best, and Henrietta's Table, with a lavish Sun brunch); bar; Regattabar jazz club; free access to adjacent health club with glass-enclosed pool, Jacuzzi, and exercise room; adjacent spa and salon; concierge; car-rental desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
Holiday Inn Boston Brookline
Just 15 minutes from downtown Boston on the subway, this six-story hotel is more than just another Holiday Inn. In a mostly residential area not far from the Longwood Medical Area, it offers up-to-date accommodations at lower prices than more centrally located hotels. Many guests are visiting the nearby hospitals and Boston University. The recently redecorated rooms are large and well appointed, with oversize work desks. Units at the front of the building have more interesting views, though they may be slightly noisier because of busy trolley route below. The bustling Coolidge Corner neighborhood is a 10-minute walk away.
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.
