Many people talk in the famous Boston accent. I'm only really qualified to talk on a few intricacies of this dialect, but Adam Gaffin has compiled the excellent Wicked Good Guide to Boston English at Boston-Online.com. Just one more thing. Never refer to Boston as Bean Town. Just as no San Franciscan refers to their city as 'Frisco', we prefer not to refer to Boston with a nickname featuring brown ovular objects. Feel free to do as us locals do and call Boston 'The Hub of the Universe' or just simply 'The Hub'.

If you come to Boston for the holidays be sure to see the ice sculptures in the Common and Copley Square. A New Year's Eve tradition in Boston, the sculptures remain for the next few days after New Year's, and have always been a very local attraction, which is why I mention it in 'cultural tips'. The one pictured here represents Santa's sleigh. In the background you can see Beacon Hill's beautiful brick homes. Skating on the Frog Pond or Public Garden Pond combined with viewing the sculptures makes an all-around wonderful winter experience in Boston.

I agree. Although the Chowda is fantastic, the rest of the menu is just mediocre, which makes the wait and fighting the other million tourists so not worth it. | jasperdo Tue Jun 13, 2006 19:41 UTC
Just got back from Boston. I used your page for reference many times before we went, especially your Notrh End info. Really helped out while we were there. Thanks! | Pawtuxet Sat Jun 3, 2006 00:38 UTC
