    Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market: I must mention this place as a...
  • Tip Rating:
  • I must mention this place as a definite MUST to see... behold, the one and only...Haymarket! Unlike its dull name, Haymarket is actually a place of many surprises! With a street and a half of small stands people travel from all of Boston to shop for fresh freuits, vegetables, breads, fish, cheese, and much much more! The prices are unbelievably low, and the quality/quantity both satisfactory. On the other side of the market are a string of restaurants, bars, seafood places, etc., that you can enjoy while shopping! Another unique thing to try are the oysters at the market that(usually during the warmer days)crack open fresh oysters right in front of you to try with lemons and sauces... crowds of people push and shove to get through to this narrow path of market stands...the stand owners shouting at the top of their longs bargain prices. On the side of this crowded path is the pizza place where they sell unbelievably large slices for unbelivably cheap prices! The pizza restaurant(in which I have never actually seen the name of) is a definite place to visit when in Haymarket...who can resist large, delicious, oven-fresh, low-cost slices of steamy pizza? I know I can't~! If this wasn't entertainment enough, lies Quincy Market, a building where little food shops fill up both sides of the wall from beginning of the building until the end! From Boston's renoun lobster to sushi and Chinese, Quincy Market holds all answers your dining needs, including ice cream parlors! Quincy market is located right near Haymarket, and both is a definite must!! There is also Faneuil Hall Marketplace, where concerts are held...several festivals take place in these areas...Go visit! For the history fanatics, Haymarket holds some really old buildings (at least they look ancient anyway) and hold a feel of colonial air to its architecture...there is also a holocaust memorial-like area there also, where you can see quotes of many camp prisoners and all the numbers of those who died in the concentration camps...

  • Directions: On the 'T' take the green line, simply get off at the Haymarket stop, right after the stop for the Government center...or if you like to walk and see the big buildings and cool memorials, get off at t

    Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market: Faneuil Hall
  • Tip Rating:
  • Faneuil Hall Merchant Peter Faneuil built this building in 1742 and donated it to the town. It was enlarged in 1806. For over 250 years the first floor has served as a marketplace and the second floor as an open forum meeting hall. Because of the protests against the British taxation policies voiced here during the 1760's, the meeting hall is dubbed the 'Cradle of Liberty'. The fourth floor houses the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company Museum. Faneuil Hall itself doesn't appear particularly majestic from the outside; it's simply a small, four-story brick building topped with a Georgian spire. The structure once housed an open-air market on its first floor and a space for political meetings on its second, a juxtaposition that inspired local poet Francis Hatch to pen the lines, *Here orators in ages past / Have mounted their attacks, / Undaunted by the proximity / Of sausage on the racks.* Faneuil Hall was where revolutionary firebrands such as Samuel Adams and James Otis whipped up popular support for independence by protesting British tax legislation. The first floor now houses tourist shops and fast food places that make for a less than dignified memorial; you'll also find an information desk and a post office. The auditorium on the second floor has been preserved to reflect modifications made by Charles Bulfinch in 1805, the focal point being a massive - and rather preposterous - canvas depicting an imagined scene of Daniel Webster speaking in Faneuil Hall as a range of luminaries from Washington to de Tocqueville look on. During the War of 1812, folks in Beantown who were suspected of being spies were asked what flew atop Faneuil Hall as a weathervane. Those who knew it was a grasshopper were trusted as true Bostonians; those who didn't were regarded with suspicion, and sometimes even decapitated.

  • Tip Rating:
  • This outdoor shopping area is basically one long hall that used to be where trading took place in 'the olden days' and there are all different kinds of merchants. You can find modern stores and lots of hand crafted goods--my mom is a sucker for antique shopping. Not to mention the great food...yummmm...you can easily spend a day just walking around with the locals and doing a little souvenier shopping.
