Boston ladies - I need your help

If one were to take a trip to Boston, where would you recommend staying? Also, what is the weather typically at the end of May?

Re: Boston ladies - I need your help

  • I lived there until I was 18 and I can tell you the weather in May can range tremendously and there's really no real answer. It can be 40 degrees or it could be 75. It's best to look at the 10 day forecast before you go.
  • Ooh!  Can I tag onto your thread? Smile  We are taking a trip to Boston for the 4th of July.

    Does anyone know anything about the InterContinental?

    Also... any truly MUST MUST sees while we are there?  We are for sure going to Copley Square, the zoo (if the weather is nice... aquarium if the weather sucks), John Harvard's, Mike's Pastry, Prudential Center, North End, checking out the Freedom Trail, Faneuil Hall Marketplace.  Anything we should be sure to dedicate some quality time for? 

    We have been to Boston before (DH lived there for a summer) five years ago.  We are so excited to go back but it has surely been a little while.

    I was thinking about going to watch the fireworks from Corey Hill Outlook.  Does anyone have any feedback on that?  Good view?  Crowded?

    Any insider tips on overnight parking in Boston?

    Okay, I'm finished!  Sorry to highjack your post. Embarrassed

    Of course! Now you need to tell me where to stay. I want to book a trip for DH's birthday because he has wanted to go to Fenway for years and years.

    Yep, weather can be nuts.

    And where you stay is dependent on what you are looking for. Let's chat tonite and we'll go over it, m'kay?  I'll bring the BBQ.

    That would be Epic.

  • Ahh, yes I have the Children's Museum on my list, too.  And it is like right next to our hotel.  Duly noted. Smile  I will be sure to take the crew there (we're meeting DH's cousins and they will have their 2-1/2 year old and 8 month old also).

  • The Intercontinental Hotel and Spa by the Waterfront is centrally located if you want to do North End, Faneuil Hall, Boston Common, freedom trail. I would stay away from the new Waterfront area where the Renaissance Hotel is located because it is rather isolated from other parts of Boston. Mike's Pastry is good but also check out Modern Pastry on Hanover... best Canoli in my book. If you also want the best tasting pizza pie, check out Pizzeria Regina on Prince Street (don't mind the sometimes rude waite staff). The one in Faneuil Hall Market place is not the same.

    If you plan to go to Red Sox game make sure you purchase tickets in advance. Tickets are hard to come by... but there's always scalpers on the street though. Even if you don't get tickets, you can always go catch the energy and vibe at several of the watering holes. Check out Bleachers Bar... you can see into Fenway Park from the Bar. Try Blueberry beer at Beerworks... 

    If you want more info feel free to send me a message.

    Also if you want a Duck Tour, book in advance. They sell out really fast and leave from the Prudential Center and the Science Museum.
