Boston Things to Do Tips by jujuc18

Among the countless activities, I must encourage tourists of a few of my favorites...Harvard Square, for one...'center of student life...'
With little shops all along the sides of every street, Harvard Square is a joy to just walk around and browse...there are restaurants, cinemas, and hotels...Especially on Friday afternoon/evenings, try to visit when the musicians, artists, magicians, etc.,come out to play!
The place is littered with all forms of fun entertainment and activities for all ages! Occasionally stars are seen on Harvard Square...one having been Christina Ricci...Did I forget to mention...Matt Damon and Ben Affleck grew up here?

I must mention this place as a definite MUST to see...
behold, the one and only...Haymarket!
Unlike its dull name, Haymarket is actually a place of many surprises!
With a street and a half of small stands people travel from all of Boston to shop for fresh freuits, vegetables, breads, fish, cheese, and much much more!
The prices are unbelievably low, and the quality/quantity both satisfactory. On the other side of the market are a string of restaurants, bars, seafood places, etc., that you can enjoy while shopping!
Another unique thing to try are the oysters at the market that(usually during the warmer days)crack open fresh oysters right in front of you to try with lemons and sauces...
crowds of people push and shove to get through to this narrow path of market stands...the stand owners shouting at the top of their longs bargain prices.
On the side of this crowded path is the pizza place where they sell unbelievably large slices for unbelivably cheap prices!
The pizza restaurant(in which I have never actually seen the name of) is a definite place to visit when in Haymarket...who can resist large, delicious, oven-fresh, low-cost slices of steamy pizza? I know I can't~!
If this wasn't entertainment enough, lies Quincy Market, a building where little food shops fill up both sides of the wall from beginning of the building until the end! From Boston's renoun lobster to sushi and Chinese, Quincy Market holds all answers your dining needs, including ice cream parlors!
Quincy market is located right near Haymarket, and both is a definite must!!
There is also Faneuil Hall Marketplace, where concerts are held...several festivals take place in these areas...Go visit!

For the history fanatics, Haymarket holds some really old buildings (at least they look ancient anyway) and hold a feel of colonial air to its architecture...there is also a holocaust memorial-like area there also, where you can see quotes of many camp prisoners and all the numbers of those who died in the concentration camps...
