Please rate this and my other tips when you find them interesting, useful, or like the photos. Thanks Updated November 2007:
I was using my computer last night in Quincy Market. The SSID was now something like BostonWireless.
Also I was downloading mp3 files. After a several files, a screen came up which said my download limit as exceeded my limit. This was from the Quincy Market wi-fi, not the web site I was on. I was unable to use the internet after that that.
When the weather is bad ...

... there are still a lot of things to do in Boston.
The Museum of Science (on a island on Charles River) is very interesting and for the little and big children (yes, me too) interesting.
The New England Aquarium at Central Wharf is worth a visit, too.
Go shopping or having a small bite in one of the many restaurants.
More museums: Computer museum, Children Museum, Boston Tea Party ship
Go to a real Irish bar, not...
by DaveD
Go to a real Irish bar, not one of the tourist traps. Just follow your nose to Southie and you will run into a few. Also, go to a Red Sox game, if you are there in the Summer. People are in your face and tell it like it is, but are generally nice, once you get to know them.
avoid the tourist traps. OK,...

avoid the tourist traps. OK, do them once, but don't spend your time hangin' in Fanuil Hall the entire time, or planning your day around the John Hancock building. In my opinion, boring! Do the artsy stuff - go to stores you won't be able to find anywhare else. My favorite - PLUTO in Davis squrae. You should go to Bertuccis or better tyet any Italian resturant in the North End. By all means, DO NOT go to places like the Gap. Why even bother leaving your home town? GO to the Deli Haus after midnight at Kenmore Square. Ramming aorund the Children's museum when I was little, going back stage at the New England Aquarium (where I now work), riding the subway and not having to think about driving anywhere, skating in the Commons.
Tallest Building in NE who's view you can't see!
by garridogal
Prior to 9/11, this would've been a Must See tip. However, since you can no longer see the view from the tallest building in New England, why bother? It's a shame and kind of silly for the observatory to be closed. The one at The Prudential is still open as is the one on the Empire State Building in NYC. So this makes no sense. However, you can still gawk at it from the street and by all means take a walk by it on a really windy day. You won't soon forget that! I remember the observatory. It was great!
