Vacation in Boston...where to go...
ChadTower:
The Duck Tours are hella expensive now.
mr.Curmudgeon:
History:
The Freedom Trail
Takes you past all the historic sites.
The U.S.S. Constitution
Leave pocket knives, etc at the hotel, Coast Guard still acts like terrorists want to destroy this boat.
Faneuil Hall
Kinda neat, but filled with tourists.
Food
The Warren Tavern (Charlestown)
Oldest Pub, Paul Revere and pals drank here.
North End
You cannot go wrong eating here. Just don't call it "Little Italy".
Mike's Pastry (in the North End)
Warning: You'll never enjoy another cannoli after Mike's.
And don't let PBJ fool you. We're not all as anti-social and filled with OCD as he is. The guy makes me look positively sprightly.

Seconded on Mike's Pastry...just amazing...every time I head to Boston for a Celtics game (usually 2 a season) I hit Mike's Pastry the morning after and load up on stuff.
Also, http://www.unionoysterhouse.com/ is very cool, in my opinion as a dipstick tourist, and I don't even like oysters. Just hang out at the bar and talk to people. Never met someone at the bar that wasn't willing to have a conversation about...well...anything.

Don't expect to park anywhere. Just eat it and park in the paid lots. That's all you can do unless you really know your way around. Boston is an awful, awful, awful city to park in.

Go to Cask N' Flagon in Fenway! It's right near the stadium and super local. Boston Beerworks is a nice spot but very touristy at times (there is one right next to Cask). Boston museums are pretty decent as well - I actually love The Children's Museum and feel like it has a lot to offer for adults. The Museum of Fine Arts is nice if you are into art. Sunset Grille is a good place for beer but I find that they are typically out of what I want to drink, and the service isn't all that great. Check out the Harpoon Brewery, they have free tastings at certain times during the week.
