My brother PJ went on holidays to New York recently, and I blogged about it, saying among other things that I am not really interested about going there. He asked me in the comments where I would like to visit in the USA instead. Well, I am not sure why, but the first US city that comes to my mind is Boston. There are other places on my bucket list, but Boston is most likely at the top of them. For years, it was in my mind just the city of a nasty hockey team, rival of the Habs, that had nastier fans. I would have avoided it like the plague when I was a child, just for that. Now, because of the few images I have seen of it, because of its kind of cosy look, maybe because it's an old city as well, at least by North American standards... I'm kind of curious about it. It just sounds like a pleasant place to go to and not the first place on anyone's holiday list, which by itself is good enough to be on top of mine. So yeah, among my readers, anyone visited Boston? Is it worth it? How was your time there? Any recommendations? Tell me all in the comments section.

i used to live there and i love it.
ReplyDeleteSorry, never been to Boston. But apparently, I had relatives there in the 1700s.
ReplyDeleteWe live two hours north of Boston and visit several times each year. Great town, good eats, wonderful entertainment venues, pricey, but not as dear as NYC. My only tip is: wait for good weather. Boston can be a windy, icy, bitter cold town during the winter also resulting in Logan Airport shutting down in an eyeblink. Its a crap- shoot flying into Boston this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI have lived in Massachusetts all my life. Like anywhere, there is good and bad. Go in the warm weather so you can walk and enjoy. Lots of great things to see, old and new Boston Museum of Science is wonderful.
