The Boston Public Gardens
The Boston Common
Beacon Hill
You are a short walk to the underground trolley system ( the oldest in the country ) and can easily get to:
Harvard Square in Cambridge
Fanuel Hall
Boston's North End (The Italian section of Boston that has a number of very good Italian Restaurants).
In the North End, I suggest you try:
Regina's Pizzaria ( The original one and although there will be a wait, it's worth any wait)
Pastry: Mikes Pastry and/or Modern Pastry ( tourist tend to go to Mikes and locals go to Modern and I prefer Modern )
One you are committed to go, send me a PM if you have any questions.

And Newbury street,Charles river MIT bridge to cambridge.
Westin hotel ,Marriot hotel or Sheraton would in my opinion be some of the very best choices in Boston to take advantage of the walking city. And all three hotels are conected to one another by indoor cat walk bridges. The Prudential center and cpoley malls also are all indoor venues.
Will add more at a later time,on the way out the door. Grew up in that area.
