Thinks they're as great as
New York City...but they go to NYC every month or so and New Yorkers go to Boston every 10 years or so.
Attractions in Boston:
Freedom Trail: Tours are given by 20-30 somethings that repeat the same lines every few hours and hate their
job. They are not historians.
The Aquarium:
Cute, for
kids
College Tours: For prospective students
Attractions in NYC:
I bet you can think of 5 off the top of your head. But for the lesser known ones:
-Free walking tours in Central Park, Downtown, Brooklyn, etc guided by
people who are actually enthusiastic and enamored by the city's development and rich culture
-Free ferries (staten island, Ikea) and that red trolley to Roosevelt Island as seen in Toby McGuire's Spiderman
1 where spidey fought gobby at the bridge- though the fare irl is $3.
-Diverse and delicious food
-Diverse and unique neighborhoods- one minute you're in soho shopping high fashion, then you're in Little
Italy on Mulbury St, a block or
two later you're in chinatown. All in about a 10 minute walk.
-A night life with comedy clubs, bars, anything in the village really
-Studio tapings for John Oliver, Americas Got
Talent (when they hosted in Radio City), Daily Show, SNL, Fallon, etc
-had to stop cuz of char limit
We explored Boston in half a
day! I saw a lot of dunkin donuts in the downtown area!
We explored NYC in a week and haven't seen
anything yet!
Oh I just went to NYC last month to see a concert.
Oh! I went to Boston on a
middle school field trip, haven't been there since.
