Pay particular attention to numbers 3, 5, 12 &amp; 14. Okay, all of them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Boston isn\u2019t the hub of the Universe.<\/strong><br \/>\nLots of cities have nicknames, but perhaps none so self-aggrandizing as the one coined by Oliver Wendell Holmes. The brilliant 19th century writer and physician (we\u2019ve grown those things on trees around here for centuries) actually used the term \u201cHub of the Solar System,\u201d which was soon thereafter adjusted by locals to account for interstellar inflation. Also continually inflated since then? Bostonians&#8217; healthy sense of self-esteem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Boston isn\u2019t the worst.<\/strong><br \/>\nDespite knowing full well that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/psi?force=hotels\/United_States--MA\/Boston.hd11231\/&amp;GCID=78142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boston<\/a> is the greatest city on the planet, most locals will also freely tell you, and with plenty of colorful language, that it\u2019s a dump that\u2019s impossible to get around, closes too early and, if they\u2019re being charitable, the best about which one can say is that at least it\u2019s not Worcester or New Bedford. Don\u2019t you go saying that yourself, however. In much the same way that Boston families can talk trash about each other, if someone else has something smart to say they\u2019re going to hear about it. Wait until you get back to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/psi?force=hotels\/United_States--NY\/New_York.hd17796\/&amp;GCID=78142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York<\/a>, kehd.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_36712\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36712\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36712\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Boston-Harvard-Yard-campu.700.jpg\" alt=\"Boston Harvard Yard campus\" width=\"700\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Boston-Harvard-Yard-campu.700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Boston-Harvard-Yard-campu.700-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Boston-Harvard-Yard-campu.700-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Boston-Harvard-Yard-campu.700-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-36712\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harvard, Boston<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>3) Pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd.<\/strong><br \/>\nDespite that\u00a0last line above, and decades of hilarious and not-at-all hackneyed pop cultural references to the contrary, not everyone in Boston has an accent that falls somewhere on the spectrum between Mayor Quimby and a Jimmy Fallon caricature. That said, you should literally park in Harvard Square. The campus of the famed university is nice for a visit, sure, but the neighborhood it\u2019s in is one of the most culturally vibrant and entertainment-heavy destinations around, with one of the bestrock clubs, <a href=\"http:\/\/sinclaircambridge.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Sinclair<\/a>, and a plethora of inventive restaurants like <a href=\"http:\/\/aldenharlow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alden &amp; Harlow<\/a>. It\u2019s actually in Cambridge which, like everything else from Somerville to Quincy, still technically counts as \u201cBoston.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) How do I get to <a href=\"http:\/\/cheersboston.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cheers<\/a>?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re arriving in a big city filled with music, history, art, entertainment and nightlife, and you want to go to a simulacrum of a bar based on a TV show that\u2019s been off the air for more than 20 years, you\u2019re doing traveling wrong. But, if you\u2019re near the area anyway, walk through the gorgeous Boston Public Garden instead or, if you really need a drink, head up Beacon Hill to <a href=\"http:\/\/no9park.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">No. 9 Park<\/a>, one of the most lauded restaurants and cocktail bars in the city, or to the nearby, more casual <a href=\"http:\/\/silvertonedowntown.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silvertone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Boston.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36397\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Boston.jpg\" alt=\"Boston\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Boston.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Boston-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Boston-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Boston-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Tom Brady is a cheater.<\/strong><br \/>\nYou may feel free, even encouraged, to say this on message boards but\u2014trust me\u2014you don\u2019t want to get into that whole thing with anyone around here, not unless you\u2019ve got a couple hours of your life, and potentially a few teeth you&#8217;re willing to part with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>6) Nothing stays open late around here.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhileit\u2019s true that Boston closes earlier than huge cities like New York, the stereotype of a sleepy little backwater is extremely overstated. The train (T) has started running later on weekends, and there is no shortage of late-night dining and drinking options. For the most part, on the weekends, many bars are open until 1 a.m., with more than enough open until 2 a.m. for the night owls.\u00a0 If you\u2019re really hungry in the middle of the night, South Street Diner is open 24\/7, and is a favorite late-night hangout.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/top-boston-hotels-along-historic-freedom-trail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Related: Check out these hotels located along the Freedom Trail.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>7) Let\u2019s go to Faneuil Hall.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile there\u2019s undoubtedly a surfeit of historic landmarks to be found in Faneuil Hall area, it\u2019s also the biggest tourist trap in thecity. Unless you\u2019re on a trip with a group of 5th graders who have a book report due, there\u2019s really no need to spend too much time around here. Everywhere in Boston is rich with history, and you\u2019ll find better dining and drinking options all over the city than the largely middle of the road stuff on offer here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8) Kiss me, I\u2019m Irish!<\/strong><br \/>\nOh, you\u2019re Irish? That\u2019s nice. But, as it turns out, Boston is actually a pretty diverse city, stereotypes to the contrary. That said, there are way more Irish bars here than any city would ever need. If you really need to scratch that drinking-whiskey-in-Boston itch, you\u2019ll want to try Mr. Dooley\u2019s,\u00a0 J.J. Foley\u2019s in the South End, or Doyle\u2019s Cafe in Jamaica Plain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2015\/05\/quiz-earned-american-travel-stripes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Related: Take this quick quiz to see if you&#8217;ve earned your American travel stripes.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>9) What\u2019s the deal with public transportation around here?<\/strong><br \/>\nTrust me, we don\u2019t know either. The MBTA offers convenient access to very many parts of the city, and mind-boggling, infuriatingly slow and inconvenient access to very many others. Avail yourself of one our very many disgruntled taxi drivers, or take an Uber if you must, if it&#8217;s still legal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10) People only care about sports here.<\/strong><br \/>\nSure, maybe if you\u2019re in the bar, but\u2014and this may come as a shock to you considering there are only about 5,000 universities around here\u2014there\u2019s more art and culture than you&#8217;d\u00a0be able to experience in your lifetime, never mind a single visit. The Museum of Fine Arts gets all the big ticket exhibitions, but you\u2019ll also want to check out the Institute of Contemporary Art, with a decidedly more modern focus, and the hidden secrets of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ICA.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36398\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ICA.jpg\" alt=\"ICA\" width=\"700\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ICA.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ICA-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ICA-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ICA-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>11) Isn\u2019t Boston where Aerosmith and the Dropkick Murphys are from?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes. Those two well-known bands are from here, along with loads of other bands that have literally shaped the course of modern music over the decades. You\u2019ll find dozens of them playing on any given night at a wide array of clubs. On most nights of the week you can walk into one of the rooms at The Middle East, Great Scott, The Sinclair, Royale, The Paradise, Brighton Music Hall, the House of Blues\u00a0or the Lizard Lounge, and see national headliners or next year\u2019s stars from the homegrown pool of talent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12) Boston isn\u2019t very stylish.<\/strong><br \/>\nApparently youhaven\u2019t spent any time walking down Newbury Street in the summer. Yes, it may be the type of stylish that you aren\u2019t necessarily into, but if it\u2019s high-end fashion, and the people who care about high-end fashion\u2014and very much want you to know they care about it\u2014then this lengthy, tree-lined street filled with cafes and shops is where you\u2019ll want to be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newbury.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newbury.jpg\" alt=\"Newbury\" width=\"700\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newbury.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newbury-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newbury-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Newbury-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>13) Isn\u2019t the water polluted?<\/strong><br \/>\nUm. Sort of. But that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s still not beautiful to look at. Seemingly overnight Boston\u2019s Seaport District, for example, has turned into a booming neighborhood of dining, nightlife, art and scenic views.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14) There\u2019s nowhere classy to get a drink.<\/strong><br \/>\nAs mentioned above, there are very many sports bars and Irish pubs, but Boston is also home to some world-class cocktail bars. Try Eastern Standard, Craigie on Main\u00a0or Drink for just a small taste. If you\u2019re still walking around after all three of those you really belong in Boston.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15) I love it here in Boston.<\/strong><br \/>\nYeah, sure you do, pal. Don\u2019t get sentimental on us. Nobody likes a phony. Move along.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/psi?force=rewards\/&amp;GCID=78110\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34233\"
