Boston Things to Do Tips by LrSorr

Your trip to Boston is not complete without stopping here. This place is packed with shoppers, sightseers, diners, etc. This is definitely a meeting place for everyone. One of the best landmarks in Boston area. The area sits on cobblestone promenade where you can also find "entertainers" -- bands, clowns, mimes... they all make the area more lively.

Quick tips:

1) North Market and South Market -- offers good sit-down meals and drinks. You will also find various stores from clothing to accessories. Very expensive.

2) Quincy Market -- fast food-ready-to-go-meals. Plenty of choices. This is a three story building. First floor is all food court, Second floor is a bar. Restrooms can be found in the ground floor.

3) Faneuil Hall -- rather small. It's a place to buy souveneirs. In the corner is the Information booth where visitors can pick up brochures. Hardly I ever find a personel there answering questions.

Chinatown is located in downtown Boston, centered on Beach Street. The area where you can find most of Asian restaurants like Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc. Chinatown is also known for having a number of restaurants that stay open late on weekends (3 or 4 AM).

Caution
It is a very dense district. Somewhat "dirty" and not exactly the safest area at night. I recommend walking in groups if you're planning to swing by there at night to chow down some good food. Stay away from those tiny alleys and try to walk where it's well-lit. Can't stress that enough!
