This cute little place is basically an outdoor specialty mall, with lots to eat and even more to browse through and stare at. The building shown in the picture is the center attraction. It's a very long building, and there is more shopping in buildings on either side of it as well.
The atmosphere here was very enjoyable, and it really seemed to capture that New England feeling. There were tons of places to catch cheap ($10) lobster all around, and the New England Aquarium was a 2 minute walk away. A great area to begin or include in a walking tour of downtown Boston.
If you're in the area, be sure to hang around outside the main building and keep an eye out for street performers. We stopped to watch one and got the greatest show of our vacation. We paid $50 to get into a comedy club in NYC, but had more fun watching the street performer!
A parking garage is located on the other side of the town hall (across the street from Quincy Market), and the streets all around seemed very safe to go exploring.
