2004 was still the best ALCS series in the history of man kind, Boston was like a boil that would not go away, slowing building, pressure building... then it burst and no one realized was happened until a week later waking up in a moist pile of ooze and offensive smells.... good times.

Boston recommendations?
X2 on Trillium and Lamplighter. Aeronaut is in Somerville(next to Cambridge). I’ve heard good things about Castle Island brewing in Southie if you happen to be out that way.

Abbotts frozen custard is on the way to/fro.
Walsh’s has the best selection of high end microbrews in Brighton Center. Great local MA, NE stuff.

Hey so turns out we are moving to Boston. Back Bay just off the common. Need a local pub and a mag to booze with a couple times a month.

Speaking as someone who's visited Boston once as a tourist (my son lives there) if you have a day to yourself do the history walking tour--the Freedom Trail Definitely worth doing once and who knows how much longer we'll have freedom.. Otherwise--you're visiting a friend. Why ask us?

The Museum of Science is pretty cool.

So is the MFA and the isabella stewart gardner museum.
For something totally esoteric, grab a beef shawarma wrap from here:

then eat your lunch in the old surgery dome at MGH: https://www.massgeneral.org/museum/exhibits/etherdome/
I don't think it can get more local than that. I've done it hundreds of times, and there is a certain serenity to the experience.
And you can easily jump to the Science Museum.

I'd recommend the MIT campus, it's pretty neat architecture and I've been to over 25 college campuses across the country, Harvard was not impressive.
and recommend fenway if you're a baseball fan.TGR forums cannot handle SkiCougar !

Last time I was in Boston I popped into a bar to have a couple of beers while I waited on a colleague and they had a framed newspaper article with the headline "Worst Bar in Boston - 1978" or something like that. Pretty funny. I think it might have been Beacon Hill Pub.

On the corner of Brimmer and Beacon (Beacon Hill side) accross from the Public Garden. Used to swill there occasionally whilst doing a grad degree at Emerson. It was still called the Bull Finch Pub back then. Beacon Hill Pub (corrected brain cramp) is a dive still worthy if the name. Funny it's still going strong wconsidering the property values though ...

Good times at Beacon Hill Pub. Cheers is a major let down; everybody does not know your name. Silvertone is across the Common and probably too clean to be a dive but they do serve happy meals and High Life in a baseball bat bottle.
