For me, Boston was a revelation, I always wanted to visit it and it exceeded my expectations!…read more It is big, with so many things to do and see. I packed a lot in four days. I wanted to stay longer but hotels are so expensive! The only downside! Public transportation is pretty good, it makes it easy to get around everywhere you need to go! Weather could be iffy even in the summer, so be flexible. The vibe of the city is more European with lots of history around, many firsts in US- public park, subway system, botanical gardens, etc. I loved the famous campuses in town - BU, Harvard. Stayed in Cambridge area. Lots of historical sites, did the Freedom Trail, loved it, learnt a lot (I've been reading more history books since then). Loved the parks and public spaces - Boston Common and Public Garden among them. Major sites - Newbury street, Kenmore Square, Copley Plaza, Back Bay are great to visit. Loved Beacon Hill old area. Great views over the Boston Harbor and the Esplanade on Charles River! Great art museums- Isabella Gardner Museum was a joy to visit and MFA is rich in art offering! Chinatown is a great neighborhood to visit and so is the historic North End. Great food, lots of cafe-s, restaurants, breweries. Didn't have time to shop, but there are some nice bookstores and loved the visitor centers! And I feel like I barely scratched the surface! Sports aren't my thing, but there are famous venues around. I'd love to come back one day, dig deeper, visit more. Lots left to be explored. My husband lived here in college and was a bit down on Boston, but this visit improved his perception. Lively, clean, easy to get around and orient yourself, not very crowded. Lots of American history with an European vibe and esthetic. Unique city that has lots to offer to visitors!

From the depths of a swamp, the inspection of Boston begins with an unexpected surprise!…read more May 1, 1822, the city of Boston was governed by a Mayor and Council . The roots of Boston go as far back as the Puritans looking for their new home . Many early settlers made their way here because Salem, Mass was too crowded. Then the battles with water shortages, disease, sanitation, and culture theory were a few things that they battled and then figured out . What's not to love here? The people of this great city generate love and happy as you admire the beauty all over the place. The rich history here is at every turn. Now the best way to see and celebrate this city is to walk . The traffic here is so bad. So get out and enjoy the surroundings of a new place. Those who are here, how it has changed from a book. When we visited every other corner a "protest was apparent." It was controlled and peaceful too. The individuals that wanted to voice their opinions did not riot or make others feel uncomfortable. We were asked to join in but we were on a time limit. We were not afraid to walk around the city and see what Boston was all about. The roots of religion and culture surrounding the holy word were ingrained into the ancient traditions of the founders. In fact they wanted to keep and create a controlled environment where religion and the people were allowed to exist is certain boundaries. If you violated these rules you could be punished. Even shunned. It was not anyway but the religious way that was dictated. One great example of this religious ideology was the belief to educate the people. The higher institutions of thought were created. In fact it still stands today. It's the school of Harvard. Now let's move forward to the new age of social media and how we see the world. It's the year 2026, let us not waste our time for the individuals of Boston are truly progressive. In fact all is protected! Whatever form of love you choose it's great? In fact it was the first city to guarantee equality for all in 1989. The idea of marriage passed for same sex couples in 2004. Why is this important, it's not but the idea of hope and "getting along," exists here . Remember love, in whatever form wins!

This experience officially solidified my belief that my girlfriend is a long line repellent. (see…read moreBoston RMV review) I'm not exactly sure that the Cambridge City Clerk's office is normally a high traffic area, but as I understand it, anything having to do with the city or state requires a minimum 2 hour wait and donation of your non dominant hand's pinky finger. We were there to get a domestic partnership (not a marriage. Lets be clear) because since Health insurance is required now (gripe mumble gripe) well you know. Anyway, since my company is national, they offer health benies to domestic partners. Thus we found ourselves at City Hall. We walked in. No Line... We were helped right away and with a smile..... We filled out the paperwork, raised our right hand, said we were telling the truth, and didn't have to show any documentation whatsoever........ We were in and out in 5 minutes. WHAT?!?!?! Not complaining, just baffled. The clerk also told us that our license/documentation or whatever would be in the mail tomorrow, but we'll see if that happens. So now we are happily partnered in domesticity, I didn't waste my entire day, we both have all our fingers and health insurance in case we do lose one. Sweet. EDIT: Our paperwork did indeed arrive that Saturday, and retains its 5 star rating.

Amazing Suburban City Northeast of Boston which basically is centered around the huge crescent-shaped beach that has to be the most perfect crescent-shaped beach in all of North America. It reminds me of Nice in France, on the Cote D'Azur. A very very very very very cold Nice. So maybe they should call it Notsonice? There is brilliant roast beef and perfect views of the planes landing at Logan and can it really get any better than this place - nah - and I wish I would have discovered it a long time ago. As for the beach... Revere Beach is the place in Boston that I Revere the most. I can't believe it took me this long to find it. It reminds me of any beach town in England with a beautiful crescent shape, you can see all the way from one end to the other, and gorgeous fairy lights at night with the added element of a roast beef shop that is pretty decent and open until 1 or 2 in the morning - and the added added element of planes landing right over the beach into Logan Airport which makes for an added dimension of added added added. Added. BTW I added you on facebook hi. Definitely one of the most memorable and emotionally significant beaches in the country for me although I know there are cleaner and more secluded ones nearby. Plus you can park all night here and nobody will bother you which I just did last night. Zzzzzzzzz. What a spectacular place to wake up and one of the most beautiful beaches in the whole country. I love it so much here.

Revere Beach is actually quite historical. It was the first public beach in the United States. If that's not impressive enough Revere Beach is also the most perfectly crescent shaped Beach in the country, Back in the day it was a place to frolic and have fun with a roller coaster, rides, ballrooms, arcades and fabulous eateries. Now a days, most of that had gone away and we are now being invaded with thousands of condos and apartment complexes. Personally I preferred the rides, games and things. Not to mention polishing your car or motorcycle and cruising up and down the boulevard for hours on end. I can't end this review without mentioning the great water conditions for bathing and swimming. What ever your pleasure sun bathing in the sand, swimming or just enjoying food on the seawall Revere Beach will please. Public transportation is readily available with 3 MBTA stations and numerous bus routes keeps it easy to move around the city easily. The housing market is skyrocketing but is still more affordable than Boston. I give Revere Massachusetts a Solid 4 Stars
