    Faneuil Hall Marketplace is one of Boston's most iconic destinations, bringing together historic…read morearchitecture, a busy food hall, and a wide variety of shops in the heart of downtown. The marketplace spans two floors and is constantly filled with both locals and visitors, making it an energetic place to stop while exploring the city. Whether you're looking for a quick meal, browsing unique retailers, or simply taking in the atmosphere, there's always something happening. The main floor is home to a large selection of quick-service food vendors offering everything from seafood and pizza to international cuisine and desserts. There are plenty of choices, although the prices are noticeably higher than average, reflecting the marketplace's prime location and popularity. One downside is the limited indoor seating, which can make finding a table difficult during busy lunch hours or on weekends. The second floor adds another layer to the experience by hosting rotating pop-up shops and special events throughout the year. During my visit, there was a FIFA World Cup pop-up store, which gave me another reason to explore beyond the food vendors. These changing events help keep the marketplace feeling fresh, especially if you've visited before. Because of its popularity, the atmosphere is lively and often crowded. It works best as a place to grab a quick bite or spend some time wandering rather than settling in for a long meal. Even with the crowds, the layout is easy to navigate, and there are plenty of interesting storefronts to browse while making your way through the marketplace. Overall, Faneuil Hall Marketplace remains a worthwhile stop when visiting downtown Boston. While the food is on the expensive side and seating can be limited, the combination of historic surroundings, diverse dining options, and rotating events makes it a fun place to explore. It's an easy destination to include while sightseeing, shopping, or looking for a quick meal in the city.

    My favorite part was the historical section downstairs, as well as the stories from slaves…read moredisplayed upstairs. Unfortunately, it was hard to read everything since it's all set up as a marketplace, so standing and reading all the text means you're probably in someone's way. I wish there was more of a dedicated section to the historical significance of the building in the upstairs area.

    I am sad to report that Steve Finberg, cofounder and longtime impresario of the MIT Electronics…read moreSwapfest, died on April 23, 2021. As it happens, I was just about to write him to ask what the plans were for reopening post-COVID. Steve was always in the public eye, enthusiastically promoting and administering the event, but was also an intensely private individual. His cheerful energy will be missed. The Swapfest was tentatively schedule to resume in mid-August 2021. Monitor the website for any updates.

    Cool stuff, great prices. I got like 10 super cool antique radio switches for $5 and my friend got…read morea Leatherman for $3. If you've ever wanted to build your own radio, this is the place for you. There were also very cheap old PC components, perfect for restoration projects. There were fewer Apple components (as I would expect) but they were still very reasonably priced and in good condition for the most part. My only qualm was with the venders. For the most part they were kind and helpful, mostly nerdy in a charming way. There were, however, at least three instances where venders made very sexist, condescending remarks, such as "you should find a boyfriend who can teach you engineering," or "this isn't the place for a nice girl like you, with all these electronics!" Usually I could forgive this, and in all cases I informed them that I was in fact an engineer despite being a woman (a radical concept, I know), but in all cases, when I asked the prices of different components they gave me ones that were significantly higher than usual. I decided to do an experiment; I had my friend (a guy) go to one of the same venders and ask the price of the same component and the vender's price for him was lower (only by like two dollars, but still).
