My wife and I are heading to Boston for the weekend Friday.  She's six months pregnant so we won't be doing the bar/club scene this time.

History/art suggestions?  We're staying at the Westin - Copley Place.

Havoc:

Lets see this time of year:

The Boston Aquarium
Boston Common / Public Garden
Boston Pops / BSO
Museam of Science
Museam of Fine Arts
Boston Bruins
Faneuil Hall - Shops
Boston Ballet

North End / Restaurants - Italian / Pastries *** Highly reccomended
Back Bay Finer Dining

Around Copley and the Common are higher end / designer stores esp around Newbury st.  You are also close to the prude / john hancock bldg. which you can get some great views of Boston

Theres a ton of stuff depending on what you want to do.  My wife and I went into the city for the pumpkin festival lighting and our newborn dug it.

Good suggestions.  I second the North End restaurants.  You'll find Italian restaurants there that rival any in the US.

I'd also consider the USS Constitution or a Celtics game.  The Patriots play an hour south of Boston (and about 5 minutes from my house).

One of my favorite things to do in Boston, and hella inexpensive, was to catch a Northeastern University hockey game.  World class college talent in a tiny arena for only a few bucks a seat.

Faneuil Hall is a great place to eat, too.  One of the best all around spots in Boston, great food, great shops.  One of the oldest restaurants in the US is there.

This sounds a lot like North Beach in San Francisco.  We'll put it at the top of the list.

Yes, local dining is always poular on our trips.  :)  The Constitution also sounds interesting.  I believe we'll definitely hitting at least one museum, as well.

What about the Heritage/History (??) walk?  We don't mind hoofing it and the cold doesn't bother us either.  Just as long as it's not pouring outside.
