During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Copp's Hill Burying Ground
The second-oldest cemetery (1659) in the city is the burial place of Cotton Mather and his family, Robert Newman, and Prince Hall. Hall, a prominent member of the free black community that occupied the north slope of the hill in colonial times, fought at Bunker Hill and established the first black Masonic lodge. The highest point in the North End, Copp's Hill was the site of a windmill and of the British batteries that destroyed the village of Charlestown during the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775. Charlestown is clearly visible (look for the masts of USS Constitution) across the Inner Harbor. No gravestone rubbing is allowed.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Follow Hull Street down the hill to Commercial Street (note that there's no crosswalk on Commercial at the dangerous intersection with Hull) and follow the trail to North Washington Street and across the bridge. Follow signs and the trail to the Charlestown Navy Yard.
Mary Baker Eddy Library/Mapparium
The Mary Baker Eddy Library, a research center with two floors of interactive and multimedia exhibits, opened in 2002. Its mission is to explore ideas of liberty, spirituality, and the like throughout history. A central role is reserved for Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science. The library's most intriguing exhibit is the Mapparium, a unique hollow globe 30 feet across. Both a work of art and an illustration of political history, the globe consists of a bronze framework that connects 608 stained-glass panels. Because sound bounces off the nonporous surfaces, the acoustics are as unusual as the aesthetics. As you cross the glass bridge just south of the equator, you'll see the political divisions of the world from 1932 to 1935, when the globe was constructed.
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.
Harborside Inn
Under the same management as the Newbury Guest House in the Back Bay, the Harborside Inn offers a similar combination of location and (for this neighborhood) value. The renovated 1858 warehouse is across the street from Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the harbor, and a short walk from the Financial District. The nicely appointed guest rooms have queen-size beds, hardwood floors, Oriental rugs, and Victorian-style furniture. The rooms surround a sky-lit atrium; those with city views are more expensive but can be noisier (though that's less of a problem now that so much traffic is underground). Still, they're preferable to the interior rooms, whose windows open only to the atrium. Rooms on the top floors of the eight-story building have lower ceilings but better views.
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.
The Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel
The "grande dame of Boston" is a truly majestic hotel, an old-fashioned lodging that recalls the days when an out-of-town trip (by train, of course) was an event, not an ordeal. Built in 1912, the six-story Renaissance-revival building faces Copley Square, with Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library on either side. Already known for superb service, the Copley Plaza has enjoyed a rebirth since becoming a Fairmont property in 1996. In 2004, a $29 million renovation and redecoration of the spacious guest rooms was completed. The custom-made furnishings, which include oversize desks and pillow-top mattresses, reflect the elegance of the opulent public spaces. Rooms that face the lovely square or Clarendon Street afford better views than those that overlook busy Dartmouth Street.Facilities: 2 restaurants (steakhouse, New England); bar; lounge; exercise room; concierge; courtesy car; business center; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
