Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market: Faneuil Hall Marketplace
Pronounced Fan-yool or Fan'l, the main building was erected in 1740 as a market and public meeting place. It's an imposing building and is the core of the newer (1970s) Quincy Market Place. It's a key shopping area of Boston, full of lively public spaces, buskers and street enterainers, chain stores, specialist shops, extensive number of cafes and restaurants.

Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market: Quincy Market
Quincy Market behind Fanueil Hall and consists of 3 halls or covered markets parallel to one another. Both architecturally, the external layout of the halls and the space between the market halls and Fanueil Hall reminded me of the Covent Garden area in London. Quincy Market is built with Boston Granite which came from around Boston Harbour built about 1825. I was particularly impressed with Gallery and dome in the Central Hall. There is lots of buzz about the place, lots of street circus skill type entertainment aimed at both families and adults. My photograph is of the central hall and the plaza in front of it.

    Quincy Market is an area that is difficult to categorize. The area is known for its shopping, but the Quincy Market building houses dozens of small take-out restaurants. If you are not in the mood for shopping and eating, Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market are historic locations with impressive architectural significance. As the evening approaches, this area also offers various popular bars such as the Ames Plow Company, the Black Rose, and the Purple Shamrock. There is also a comedy club upstairs in the main building, as well as live music in the streets. Want to take a romantic walk through the city? This spot also fits the bill as the trees are beautifully lit with white Christmas-style lights. Columbus park and Long Wharf are also just a short stroll away, and make for nice, peaceful evening spots. From the end of Long Wharf, you can sit and watch the airplanes takeoff and land at Logan Airport across Boston Harbor. Sound like a local and pronounce it "quinzy mahket"!

    Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market: Quincy Market - go hungry, leave full
    Quincy Market is nowhere near Quincy, MA. It's downtown Boston near the waterfront and is a mecca of various vendors - mostly food - huddled together in an 18th century building directly across a small courtyard from Faneuil Hall - the famous meeting place of early revolutionaries. On either side of the main market are long buildings with dozens of shops. In the North market building you'll find Durgin Park restaurant (see my tip). If you're in the mood to nibble and try all kinds of different foods, Quincy Market is the place to go. There are plenty of bars in the immediate area, and you can usually find a street performer in the courtyard by Faneuil Hall. A good place to take the entire family.

    Quincy Market isnt just about shopping, there is plenty to see and do. Lots of places to eat when you are hungry and there is quite a few events happening over the course of the year to keep you entertained. Faneuil Hall Marketplace is located in the heart of historic downtown Boston. Right next to historic Faneuil Hall is the financial district, the waterfront, the North End, Government Center and Haymarket. It is a well-traveled part of Boston's “Freedom Trail.” You’ll also be glad to know there are four hotels within a three-block radius. The Cheers bar is here too - although this is the replica Cheers Bar (the real one can be found on Beacon Hill, its a great place to have something to eat and drink.

    Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market: Quincy Market
    Quincy Market was built in the 1800s to complement Faneuil Hall as an additional market place. Today, street performers and push-cart stalls line both sides of Quincy Market. The food court is probably the best food court anywhere. You will still find more lobster items here (from candy lobsters to lobster T-shirts to stuffed toy lobsters) than anywhere else in the USA.

    Some would consider this place a tourist trap, but considering the history, I think you should make it a point to visit!
