Advertised as "The City Under Glass," the Prudential Center Mall has a lot to offer Boston residents and tourists. The Prudential Center is one of the two tallest buildings in Boston and is better known as "The Pru." My dad calls it...

Pros: shopping, parks, people watching, and cafes
Cons: cold in the winter

As a native of Back Bay, I can truthfully say that there is no place that is more visited than this neighborhood. It is home to the city's two largest buildings, the Prudential Building, and the John Hancock building. Both permit visitors up to the...

Pros: Lot's to do, european like city, much variety
Cons: expensive hotels

I have lived in Boston for over 10 years and I think it's one of the great American cities.
Boston has virtually everything you would want. Stay at a hotel downtown and leave the
car behind. Boston is a great walking city.
I recommend...

Pros: Pizza, Pizza, Pizza
Cons: Very crowded on Fridays and Saturdays

Craving for a decent pizza? Here's a place where the pizza is so good that on some Fridays and Saturdays people wait an hour or more to get a table or even to get a take-out order. Mo Vaughn and Doug Flutie are among those that have indulged in the...

Pros: Great city with lots of fun stuff and a good public transportation system.
Cons: For the love of God, don't turn that ignition key!!!

(Disclaimer: Anything I say here is based purely on my own experiences, and is not necessarily the opinion of other Bostonians, and will not necessarily happen to you, and does not make me in any way responsible if something bad does happen...

Pros: Lots of hands-on, kid pleasing exhibits
Cons: Not too updated, can get crowded, closes early

I’ve spent a LOT of days with my two sons, ages 5 and 2, at the Boston Children’s Museum. If you are visiting Boston with kids, it’s certainly worth a trip---it’s a very enjoyable family place! It’s not perfect, and I’ll tell you more about the pros and...

Pros: shoes, shoes and more shoes
Cons: not the brightest math people work there

Yes! Yes! We all need shoes and if you get a high out of shopping like I do, after going to Filene's Basement (see that epinion, under Boston section) you should cross the street and go to the DSW shoe warehouse.

Like Filene's basement, DSW...

Pros: A great place to visit.
Cons: You may get so relaxed you'll never want to leave!

If you're a native Bostonian,you probably know about Castle Island. But if you're not and you're planning a trip to Boston,this is a great place that you don't read about in the travel guides. Castle Island was once just that,an island. Then a road was...

Pros: Baseball for Traditionalists
Cons: Don't wear a Yankees hat!!!!!

If you can get past "the Curse of the Bambino", then stop by the Fenway.

Fenway Park opened its gates on April 10, 1912. Originally made to seat approximately 35,000 fans, today it boasts the smallest seating capacity of all major...

Pros: easy to navigate with a stroller
Cons: the doors to the elevator in the garage close too quickly!

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

I was brave this morning, I brought both of my toddlers to the Museum of Fine Arts. Everyone had a good time and I don't think the other patrons or staff were highly inconvenienced!

The Coolidge Corner Theatre is the embodiment of grass roots support for an important local institution. It was the first theatre in Brookline and has, through the years been a focal point of independent film artistry and most recently of local music....

A friend and I recently stayed at the Boston Marriott, and discovered a number of good, and a number of terrible things about it.

First the good:

1. Cookies at check-in in the afternoon (yeah, they stole it from the Doubletree...

Pros: Can get you to a place faster
Cons: Driving in Boston is slowing making me mad

Boston is often described as the city with the worst drivers on earth. Well, whoever says that must have never traveled to some crowded Asian cities before. Unfortunately, this does not mean the Boston drivers are skilled drivers, it just means that...

Pros: You will have a great time while your there and a better time trying to explain it to your friends.
Cons: not recommended for individuals with twinkie phobias

The Blue Man Group at the Charles Playhouse is one of the best theater experiences I have had in Boston. I've seen it twice and still have problems explaining exactly what happens once you site down. Here is my humble attempt:

Throughout the...

Pros: good for a laugh
Cons: dirty, dirty, dirty

I lived in Boston for six years but never had the opportunity to check out hotel accomodations until I returned for a visit this past spring. After researching on the web, my sweetie and I decided that the most reasonable and unique place to stay would...
