Visiting Boston, MA: An Overview!!!
On September 7, 1630 a group of Puritans who were led by Govenor John Winthrop would settle the Massachusetts Peninsula. By the early 1630's Boston, MA would be established as a prominant town that would be the centerpiece of Colonial and American History for years to come. Earlier this month I made a post-it note visit to this historic city and here are some great stops in this great city.
There are so many historical stops throughout this city including Faneuil Hall, The Freedom Trail, Boston Commons, The area around the Boston Massacre, Paul Revere's House, The Old North Church, Quincy Market, Copp's Hill Burrying Ground, The USS Constitution, Winthrop Square, Bunker Hill, Old State House, Old City Hall, and other great historical places. For a true past time experience a baseball game at Fenway Park is must with the Boston Redsox. Get there early for the batting practice, talk a walk up to the Green Monster, and take in the area around the stadium. When it comes to dining there are so many great restaurants. For pizza head to Regina's Pizza, for a true deli experience with a fantastic Lobster Roll check out Pauli's. Finally for a local bakery head to Bova's they even offer shipping.
For hotels I stayed in Chelsea at the enVision hotel which was recently opened. The rooms were extremely nice with the beds very comfortable. It is a short Uber to Wellingham Station that will get you on metro to all of Boston. The hotel was very reasonable in price and the staff was exceptional along with informative about the city of Boston, MA. June was a great month to visit with no shortage of things to do. Add a trip to Boston, MA on your next trip to Massachusetts. #ridingwithkurt #postit #boston
