  • People are nicer than you would think they would be - IF you give them respect. Dont be the obnoxious tourist. Also, if it looks expensive, it probably is. Poeple who work in expenisve resturants work there because they know they'll get generous tips from the people who have enough money to go there. Don't go adn stiff your waiter/ress, Find the gems that are snobby but good food - to do this, avoid very popular places unless recommended adn expect to pay for what you get. Otherwise, avoid dives and be open to the experience.

    Interacting with the Bostonian: Simply the rudest people around

  • Being from Brooklyn, New York where we are nationally stereotyped for being real a-holes, I was absolutely stunned at how horribly obnoxious and unfriendly people in Boston were. Of course, there were a lot of exceptions but for the most part, people are just nasty. Even in France, where the populus is known for its hatred for Americans, we had a more pleasant time communicating with people than in Boston.

    Just letting you know, if youre expecting hospitality and welcoming, do NOT go to Boston.

  • On my first visit to Boaton in the summer of 1992, a friend and local resident picked me up from the airport. I grabbed the armrests while we swerved and dodged cars hurtling towards, past and around us. And that was before we even reached the airport exit. While weaving and honking his way to the expressway, my friend calmly explained the Bostonian rules of the road. "In Boston, its simple to figure out who has the right of way," he said, pausing to comment by gesture on a neighboring driver's driving skills. "the answer is, I do."

    Be very careful driving (or walking for that matter) in this city. Boston drivers are the most aggressive and will accelerate to cut off a passing car or ambulance or when a hapless pedestrian tourist attempts to cross the road. I've seen all three happen.
