BOSTON Cheat Sheet A beginner’s guide to the Hub by Paul Adler

N A CITY BOASTING ENOUGH ATTRACTIONS to fill countless stays, a little cheat sheet can be extremely helpful in navigating the many sights of Boston. Whether you are dropping a son or

daughter off at one of our many colleges, checking out a big sports game or just around for dinner and a show, there’s a lot you should make time to see and do while in town. Here are some of the basics you’ll want to keep in mind as you embark upon a holiday in the Hub. LAY OF THE LAND ALLSTON/BRIGHTON: The scene in this funky neighborhood is collegiate, hip and international. Harvard University, Boston University and Boston College all claim campus space in this youth-centric area, densely populated with bars, clubs and ethnic restaurants. BACK BAY: With some of the most beautiful brownstone architecture in New England, a swanky, cultured tone saturates these magnolia-lined streets. Check out the Prudential Center, featuring an amazing view of the city at the Skywalk Observatory (refer to listing, page 42) on the 50th floor and two shopping malls connected by a climate-controlled bridge. Newbury and Boylston streets, where luxury shops vie for space amid some of the best restaurants in town, are the places to see and be seen. BEACON HILL: This storied neighborhood is home to some of the city’s most elegant streets. A historic epicenter bordering on the opulent Massachusetts State House and Boston Common, Beacon Hill is a must for all those hoping to see the locations that birthed our country. THE FENWAY: The Fenway has enjoyed a major facelift in the last few years.

BOSTON’S BEST BETS Boston is home to more than your average share of famous landmarks. From historic structures to the world’s most recognizable bar, it’s a short walk to many must-see spots. Below is a brief rundown of the most notable sites in and around the Hub. THE FREEDOM TRAIL: One of Boston’s most popular activities for visitors, this 2.5mile trail winding through 16 historic sites vital to the birth of our nation begins in America’s oldest public park, Boston Common. Indicated by a painted red line or double lines of red brick, the Freedom Trail continues to such sites as towering Park Street Church, Old South Meeting House and through the North End to the Paul Revere House and Old North Church before ending in Charlestown with the USS Constitution. Refer to listings, pages 50 & 51. PUBLIC GARDEN: During the spring and summer, this beautiful park (the country’s

After dark, the area erupts with an active nightlife fueled by dozens of bars and clubs. CHEERS: This famous bar was first opened in 1969 as the Bull & Finch Pub, but after producers of the NBC sitcom “Cheers” used the façade for the show’s opening credits, the bar became, for all intents and purposes, “Cheers” to the thousands of yearly visitors that flock there. Refer to listing, page 54. FENWAY PARK: Opened in 1912, the oldest ballpark in the Major Leagues is a mustsee for anyone enamored by Babe Ruth,Ted Williams or the many other Red Sox legends that have graced its confines.

popular sports bars, the home of the “Green Monster” is best explored by taking a Fenway Park Tour (refer to listing, page 46).

WALK WAYS Boston has been dubbed one of the nation’s best walking cities—probably because there is so much to see in such a relatively short distance. Aside from being quite safe and clean for a major metropolitan area, the area also boasts some of the most beautiful Colonial-era architecture in the country. After the completion of a massive infrastructure overhaul called “The Big Dig,” Boston is— more than ever—a city seen best by foot. A delight for all ambulatory enthusiasts, two scenic walking paths have recently opened Boston up to increased foot traffic.The Harborwalk, a series of connected walkways tracing a 47-mile stretch of the Boston Harbor shoreline, offers beautiful seaside views of boats on Boston Harbor and skirts

gorgeous parks such as Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park. Boston’s sleek Institute of Contemporary Art (refer to listing, page 15) offers a contemplative rest, while all those with young ones should head to the familyfriendly New England Aquarium (refer to listing, page 49), boasting an impressive collection of maritime creatures. There is perhaps no better scenic stop in town than the Rose Kennedy Greenway. Named for the matriarch of Massachusetts’ famed political family, the greenway is a 15acre ribbon of land composed of public walkways and manicured green parks that stretches all the way from Chinatown to the North End. Try beginning in the North End with a few cannolis, followed by an afternoon playing catch near the Greenway’s many spray fountains, and ending your day in bustling Chinatown, where late-night Asian restaurants offer some of the most delicious fare in Boston.

A king and queen of a mythical kingdom forbid their son to marry a girl from the village or risk banishment by being sent in a rocket to the other side of the world in this two-act work by James Yannatos, fashioned after the traditional “opera buffa.”

his neighborhood is best known for Fenway Park, home to our beloved Boston Red Sox, but its name actually comes from the Fens, the green parkland that winds its way through the area and makes up part of the famed Emerald Necklace. Nightclub dwellers should check out Lansdowne Street for dancing, sports bars and even a bowling alley, while Kenmore Square, famous for the Citgo sign, has become a bustling dining destination.

HALL OF FAME: Historic Symphony Hall, home to the renowned Boston Pops and Boston Symphony Orchestra, lies at the corner of Huntington and Massachusetts avenues.
