NHFR: Boston (the town, not the race)

[finallykrisb]

My sisters and I will be spending a weekend in Boston next month. Just Saturday morning through Sunday evening. What are the must see, must do, must eats?

We're staying near Boston Common.

Well, I really like to eat my way through major cities. So top on my list is Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market and Little Italy (particularly cannolis at Mike's Pastry - I feel like that's a stop that needs to be made)

You're lucky you're missing the Halloween crush. So I would say if you want to hit the commuter rail go into Salem. And all the above.

These have already made the list.

see: Boston Public Gardens, a bunch of stuff on the Freedom Trail
do: Freedom Trail, shopping! Museum of Fine Arts (a bit of a hike but an amazing museum)
Eat: All the things. (well, kind of. Bristol Lounge at the Four Seasons for their late night dessert buffet on Saturday night, Cafeteria on Newbury Street for good lunch or dinner, Sweet Cheeks BBQ for killer food by Top Chef contestant Tiffany Faison, and a bunch of bar recommendations if you want them)

The Freedom Trail and Public Gardens are on the itinerary for sure.

I thought the Duck tours were a great way to see the sights in a short time frame, but it might not be a good time of year for those.
So much good food everywhere I don't know where to begin!
Agree with all the sites above, and wanted to add that if you're in the North End, we found Regina Pizzeria's white pizza (garlic cream sauce) to.die.for. There is usually a huge line for a table, but we were willing to sit at the bar and got right in.
