Traveling to Boston, MA

Boston, Massachusetts is a bustling city with rich culture and much to see and do. The city has much to offer for all ages alike mixed with great restaurants, hotels and shopping districts. 

One of the best hotels in Boston is called the, Boston Harbor Hotel. It gets its name because it is situated right on the harbor waterfront in a great location to other travel destination in Boston. The hotel has a magnificent grand archway that looks straight through to the harbor, which you drive through to get to the main entrance of the hotel. Also, the hotel is a five star accommodation, with the delicious Rowe's Whaft Sea Grille located in the lobby. The restaurant is open to both hotel and guest so on a weekend night it can fill up quickly so a reservation might be smart. The hotel is situation within walking distance of several great destination to visit while in Boston such as, Faneuil Hall, the aquarium, and the North End. 

Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, which is not only a historical land mark of Boston. But is a great family destination during a nice warm day in the Spring or Summer. Faneuil Hall is a great place for children because in the warmer months, a variety of street-performer flock to the cobble stone roads to entertain the crowd for loose pocket change and small tips. There are usually a variety of act to keep the attention of children of all ages as well as adults, with some performers being comedians and other doing high level acrobatic tricks. But Faneuil Hall has more to offer than just street-preformers, there is also numerous shops lining the streets, as well as a ton of little specialty carts inside Quincy Market. Also Quincy Market offers a variety of food inside, like a long, giant food court with much better food. If the food court does not tingle your taste buds, there is also several sit-down restaurants scatter around Faneuil Hall. One of the craziest is "Dick's Last Resort", which is a restaurant where the stuff is rude to the people eating there and you and the staff will go back and forth making fun of each other, all in good fun. I would not recommend bring children under like 13 years old though, just because it can hinder the experience and they my not understand its a joke. But over all its a funny time and Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market is a good day trip, within ten minute walking distance of the Boston Harbor Hotel. 

One more place to visit in Boston, which is also with in a ten or so minute walk from the hotel is the North End. This is a nice place for adults to go to on a romantic evening, with some water front views and upper scale restaurants. Also, there are little boutiques for shopping and great pastry shops for dessert. One of the best pastry shops is "Mike's Pastry", which has some of the best canaille and lobster tails, traditional Italian pastries that are to die for. Also, there is a huge Italian influence in the area, so there are good specialty italian food markets to get a taste of true Italian cheese, meats, bread and wine. There are many options to explore in the North End for adults giving them a chance to get away from their children for a little while and catch up on their personal feelings for each other.
