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.

Dan, is Bova's Bakery still in the north end? Some of the best chocolate chip cookies we've ever had, and "wicked good" sheet pizza!
