During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
USS Constitution Museum
Just inland from the vessel, the museum features participatory exhibits that allow visitors to hoist a flag, fire a cannon, swing in a hammock, and learn more about the ship. The interactive computer displays and naval artifacts appeal to visitors of all ages. A new exhibit about the Barbary War (the only such exhibit in the United States) allows you to decide whether to risk a ship in the Mediterranean. The museum's collections include more than 3,000 items, arranged and interpreted in ways that put them in context.At the navy yard here, National Park Service rangers (tel. 617/242-5601) staff an information booth and give free 1-hour guided tours of the base.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Follow the trail up Constitution Road, crossing Chelsea Street, and continue to the Bunker Hill Monument. A more interesting, slightly longer route runs from Chelsea Street and Rutherford Avenue (back at the bridge) across City Square Park.
Harrison Gray Otis House
Legendary architect Charles Bulfinch designed this gorgeous 1796 mansion for an up-and-coming young lawyer who later became mayor of Boston. The restoration was one of the first in the country to use a computer analysis of the wall paint, and the result was revolutionary: It revealed that the colors on the walls were drab because the paint was faded, not because they started out dingy. Furnished in the style to which a wealthy family in the late-18th-century and early-19th-century United States would have been accustomed, the Federal-style building is a colorful, elegant treasure. Guided tours (the only way to see the house) discuss the architecture of the house; post-Revolutionary social, business, and family life; and the history of the neighborhood.
First Public School/Benjamin Franklin Statue
A colorful folk-art mosaic in the sidewalk marks the site of the first public school in the country. It was founded in 1634, 2 years before Harvard College. Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, and Cotton Mather studied there. The original building (1645) was demolished to make way for the expansion of King's Chapel, and the school moved across the street. The prestigious institution is now called Boston Latin School. Other alumni include Charles Bulfinch, Ralph Waldo Emerson, George Santayana, Arthur Fiedler, and Leonard Bernstein.Behind the fence in the courtyard to your left is the Benjamin Franklin statue, the first portrait statue erected in Boston (1856). Franklin was born in Boston in 1706 and was apprenticed to his half-brother James, a printer, but they got along so poorly that in 1723 Benjamin ran away to Philadelphia. Plaques on the base of the statue describe Franklin's numerous accomplishments. The lovely granite building behind the statue is Old City Hall (1865), designed in Second Empire style by Arthur Gilman (who laid out the Back Bay) and Gridley J. F. Bryant, and opened in 1865. The administration moved to Government Center in 1969, and the building now houses commercial tenants.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Follow School Street to Washington Street.

Fantastic getaway for a fan

Rachael

Don't bother traveling too far- the pub fare next door was tasty and very resonably priced.

I was at irst nrevous about navigating my way to the Onyx, but found it with ease- which for Boston says alot. We were greated curbside by the valet who helped with our bags, and let us know what the cost for parking would be and where the car would be located. We entered the lobby and were warmly greated by two individuals behind the desk. While I compleated the check-in the other attendent engaged my boyfriend in the news of the hours- the David Beckham contract. It felt very familiar and the lobby spoke well of what the rest of the hotel was like- cozy, quite, lushly appointed and contempory. Our room was perfect and the bed was very comfortable. After a nap we headed to the game, the purpose of our trip. We were thrilled to find out we were barely a block from the garden. On the short walk there were two restaurant/bars, a corner store and an ATM. It couldn't have been in a better location. We were also a five minute walk from Quincy Market. Overall our experience with the hotel and staff was great, we even found out that not only do they accept pets, they welcome them, with a bowl of biscuits and a personalized welcome sign, right in the lobby. The Onyx was fabulous and I highly recommend it.

Pet Friendly Paradise!

Anonymous, 2006-10-30

This hotel is within a block of the Boston Garden for all sorts of sporting and concert events, plus less than a mile to shopping, dining, Fanuiel Hall and other great Boston attractions.

The Onyx not only accepts pets, they cater to them. They have no breed or size restrictions, and have a pet welcome mat and doggy dishes right when you walk in. They have have a room service menu of dog food and dog treats, and the bellman will walk your dog for no extra charge!

Kimpton

Anonymous, 2006-08-10

The Onyx hotel was nice. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were nicely decorated. The staff was very helpful. The only complaint is that the "king deluxe" was very small. Compared to other Kimpton hotels the room was much smaller. Good location-walking distance to Fanuiel Hall. Cocktail hour at the hotel is a nice touch.

Great Location

scott, Sarasota/Bradenton, FL, 2006-07-28

Little Italy is a must !

The Onyx is in a great location. All attractions are within walking distance yet far from "heavy tourist" areas. MANY restaurants, all within 4 or 5 blocks. Room was a little smaller then we'er used to but comfortable and clean. The only complaint, the air conditioning was so loud, it was difficult to sleep. The room temp. was always hot or cold. Overall, very nice. We would go back.

Really close to the Boston Garden.

The room was nice, it wasn't any better than others and I will stay just down the block on a much cheaper one next time. My good comment was that the staff was nice and polite.
