    Any recommendations what to do in Boston? Good places to eat? I'll be there from today and leave on Sunday morning.

    I won't have a car, so Uber and public transportation is what I'll be using to get around.

    I'm open for anything. Thanks in advance!

    Watch a ballpark game in Astros gear to get the full embrace of Boston.

    gotta go here

    http://www.jameshooklobster.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=11

    everything is fantastic

    go to the Samuel Adams Brewery, sit at end of the table when they give u "samples", trust me :D

    I enjoyed Doyles Pub for their Lobster Rolls also, if you show them your ticket that you went to the brewery, they'll let you keep the Sam Adams glass if you ordered one for free (at least they did when I went March 2016)

    I'd drive to Basketball Hall of Fame if you could, about 1.5/2 hour drive, worth it, but it's a day trip since you are probably going to be there 2-3 hours at most

    EDIT: n/m saw you won't have a car

    Fenway Park is a great place to catch a baseball game. You can easily imagine how people watched games 100+ years ago.

    I have lived in Boston 88-92, so my recommendations might be a little dated.

    See a baseball game at Fenway.

    Have a Lobster Tail at Mike's Pastry in Little Italy (or one of their other locations).

    See the night street performers at Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market.

    See the Boston Common and Public Garden Swan Boats.

    Have dim sum in China Town. Most have cart service for weekend brunch.

    Indian restaurants at Central Square red line T stop.

    See Harvard Square. Have lunch at Au Bon Pan.

    Fenway Park is my #1 thing I did in Boston.

    USS Constitution would be my #2

    There was one area along the Freedom Trail that had a bunch of bars and a farmers market, which would be good to hangout at, but don't know exactly where it was.

    I did the whole Freedom Trail, but not as a tour. As interesting as some of it was, the paying to get into some of the places got pretty old.

    Picco Restaurant - Pizza, Beer, Ice Cream. Ice Cream was hit or miss, but something different, and the Pizza was very good.
