Boston some information please

Hi everybody,
We ( my husband and I) are going to Boston during the months of
October and November.
We don't know much about local restaurants, shops, musea.
Anyone has any good advise where to pick up our groceries ( we will be
staying in Charlestown).
What about a market where you can buy fresh food and vegetables?
Last but not least a good and affordable sea food restaurant?

Thank you so much for your help

Called "museums" in English. Museum of Fine Arts (large fine
arts museum). Gardner Museum (small idosyncratic museum). Museum
of Science (mediocre science museum; for children). Well out in
the suburbs, but highly recommended: Peabody Essex Museum (in
Salem).

Haymarket.

No Name. Good prices.
Legal Seafoods. Moderate prices.

Make sure you go to Quincy Market at Fanueil Hall.

And note the correct pronunciation: "Quinzy" -- the
pronunciation of the name of a family prominent in
the area in the 18th century. This is also the correct
pronunciation of the city south of Boston and the
middle name of the sixth US president. Other Quincys,
such as the town on the Missisipi and the first name
of the composer/producer, do not use this unusual
pronunciation.

And "Faneuil" is correctly pronounced to rhyme with
"flannel."


It is a great place
to spend the day. There is outdoor entertainment, tons of all types of
food to eat, lots of shopping and all kinds of outdoor vendors and
things to do. We love going there. You should also try to go to The
New England Aquarium while you are there.

A very run-down aquatic zoo that is rather sad to visit.

Legal Seafoods is right
around the corner from there. Also, while you are there make it a point
to go to Cheers! Great Bar and the BEST NACHOS you'll ever eat!

Tourist trap.

I have
lived near Boston my whole life and it is a wonderful place to go. The
Fleet Center is great too as there may be a Concert going on.

As long as you don't really care to hear the music.
About the kindest thing you can say is that is sounde
better than the dear departed Boston Garden.

And the
Wang Center is a fabulous Opera House and you might be able to catch a
show there as well. If you need more info let me know. Where do you
live? I can mail you some stuff if you'd like.

The first thing I do when I'm planning a trip to a place and don't
know about museums or other main sights there is to go www.yahoo.com
and do a search for information of that type about the place. Boston
has well-known museums that would presumably be listed on any Boston
travel site.

Here you go, a page with links to 49 local city guides to Boston that
I found in less than a minute with a few clicks:

http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/U_S__S.../Local_Guides/

Now, once I've looked at those links, I certainly will come back and
ask questions, but I do some internet research first. Don't
misunderstand me; I'm not criticizing you for asking us for help, just
suggesting how to do some preliminary research that could also help
you.

You might want to check the New England forum of eGullet and other
food websites like Chowhound.com (if you can stand the latter's user
interface) for information about where to dine.

Enjoy your trip!

If you would like to send a private email to me, please take out the TRASH, so to speak. Please do not email me something which you also posted.

Thank you all for answering my questions.
Of course I had searched the net and find lots of information but I
just wanted to know more info from those who actually live there.


Thank you

That's not the impression you gave, though. You wrote that you don't
know much about museums in Boston, for example. In any case, I'm glad
that you found the information you got here to be useful.

If you like exceptional desserts, try Finale, with two locations, Boston and
Cambridge. Both locations serve desserts and light appetizer plates. The
desserts are beautifully presented and are complimented by a nice selection
of dessert wines. It's one of the places I always bring out-of-town guests.

You can get more info from their website:

I'd also suggest Top of the Hub at the Prudential Center for drinks and
appetizers at sunset.

Hi thank you so much for your help. I live in Belgium. I will
definitely go to Quincy Market and thank you for your suggestion about
the Wang Center. I am going to see if I can get tickets. I would love
to go to Maine and see the Lighthouses and of course Vermont. Have you
been to Silver lake?
