Family guide to Boston

October. The largest number of visitors come during the summer vacation, and in late September and early October when people flock to see the famous New England fall foliage. Hotel rooms are scarce during these periods. The second half of October offers a combination of good weather with lower accommodation rates. Weather From December to February daytime temperatures generally remain just above freezing and snow is possible. March to May is characterized by warm, sunny days alternating with showery ones. June to August is warm to hot with high humidity. September and October are mostly dry with crisp nights. November is cool and damp, with sporadic cold but sunny days.

Passports & Visas Canadian citizens need only show photo ID and proof of residence. Citizens of European Union countries (including the UK), Australia, New Zealand, and Japan need a valid passport and can stay up to 90 days without a visa. Citizens of other countries must have a passport and visa, which can be obtained from a US consulate or embassy – apply well before you travel. For the latest information check on-line: www.state.gov

3

Money MasterCard, Visa, and American Express are accepted almost universally, and ATMs (cash machines) are located throughout the city and at Logan airport (on the departures level). It’s always best to have a few dollars on arrival to pay for transportation into the city.

4

Insurance Insurance for medical and dental care is strongly recommended, as US medical fees are costly. It is also invaluable in case of an emergency. You may have to pay for services and be reimbursed later. It’s advisable to take out comprehensive insurance, which covers lost baggage, trip cancellation fees, etc.

5

Drivers License A drivers license valid in your home country is also valid for driving in Boston and the surrounding states. Additional photo ID may be necessary to rent a vehicle.

6

What to Pack The weather is unpredictable and can change quickly so dress in layers with a sweater or light jacket for cool summer evenings. Be sure to bring a folding umbrella, sunglasses, and comfortable walking shoes. Pack smart casual outfits for restaurants and evening entertainment.

Practical Information

Planning Your Trip to Go 1 When Boston’s main tourist season is from May to

Student & Senior ID Public transit, movie theaters, most major attractions, and some hotels offer discounted rates for people 65 and older. Most museums and attractions also offer discounted admission charges for students with relevant photo ID.

9

Zone 10 Time Like the rest of the US east coast, Boston is in the Eastern time zone, which is GMT minus five hours. Daylight saving time begins at 2am on the first Sunday in April, and reverts to standard time at 2am on the last Sunday of October.

Getting Around 1 Subways/Trolleys The MBTA subway and trolley system (known collectively as the “T”), gets you close to almost anywhere in the city. Most of the lines are underground in the city center, and go partially above ground in the suburbs. Fares are $1.25 almost everywhere.

➤ MBTA:617 222 3200 • www.mbta.com Buses The MBTA bus system enlarges the transit network to cover more than 1,000 miles (1,620 km). Buses run less frequently than the “T”. There are also nightowl buses running parallel to some subway routes from midnight to 2.30am ($1.50 per ride). Two useful bus routes are Charlestown to Haymarket (No. 93) and Harvard Square to Dudley Square via Massachusetts Avenue (No. 1). Make sure you have the exact change (90 cents) or a combo “T” pass when traveling by bus. Bus maps are available on the MBTA website or at the main office at Downtown Crossing.

2

“T” Pass Visitor’s Passports for unlimited travel on the MBTA system for one, three, or seven days ($7.50/$18/$35) can be purchased at Downtown Crossing and airport “T” station, or at Visitors’ Bureau information kiosks (see Information Kiosks).

3

Water Taxis & Ferries City Water Taxi operates throughout Boston’s inner harbor. Boston Harbor Cruises offers a ferry service to Provincetown from Long Wharf. The Bay State Cruise Company connects the World Trade Center with Provincetown, and the inexpensive MBTA ferry links Long Wharf to Charlestown Navy Yard (see Charlestown Navy Yard).

4

➤ City Water Taxi:617 422 0392 Current & Phone Adapters US electricity is 110–120 volts, 60 cycles, and uses a polarized two-prong plug. Non-US appliances will need an adapter and a voltage converter available at airport shops and some department and electrical stores. Most laptops and travel appliances are dual voltage and many hotels have dedicated dual-voltage sockets for electric shavers.

Taxis Taxis can be hailed on the street in the Downtown area or found at taxi stands throughout the city. Cambridge taxis can only collect in Cambridge, and Boston taxis in Boston (except at the airport). You can also call a taxi company to arrange a pick up. Rates are calculated by both mileage and time.

Bargain Tickets BosTix kiosks sell half-price tickets to most non-commercial arts events and to some commercial productions from 11am on the day of performance. Purchases must be made in

➤ Boston Cab Dispatch:617 262 2227 ➤ Yellow Cab Cambridge:617 547 3000 Driving Visitors should familiarize themselves with basic US driving rules and signage. Information is available at most vehicle-rental agencies. “Rotary” traffic intersections (roundabouts) confuse even local drivers. In theory, vehicles on the rotary have right of way.

Practical Information

Bicycling Boston has many dedicated bike paths including those along the Charles River and on some major streets. Note, cycling on highways is illegal and riding on sidewalks is discouraged and, in some places, illegal. Boston Bike Tours rents bikes on Boston Common (see Boston Common & Public Garden).

Essential Shopping Experiences Street 1 Newbury Try as it might, Back Bay’s most famous street cannot escape comparisons to Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive. True, both offer stupendous people-watching, sophisticated shopping, chic dining, and prestigious galleries. Yet with its 19th-century charm and convenient subway stops, Newbury Street outclasses its built-yesterday Left Coast counterpart by far. (see Back Bay). Filene’s Basement Discount fashion outlets nationwide owe Filene’s Basement an immense debt of gratitude. Since 1908, this sprawling subterranean department store has championed the “name-brand shopping for less” retail philosophy. Some items are well priced, while others see their prices plummet the longer they sit on the shelves – illustrating Filene’s markdown concept. The store inspires severe cases of bargain-hunting hysteria, especially during the bridal gown sale (see Wedding Gown Shopping at Filene’s Basement).

Swan Boats

Summer hasn’t officially arrived in Boston until the swan boats emerge from hibernation and glide onto the Public Garden pond. With their gracefully arching necks and brilliantly painted bills, each distinctive swan boat can accommodate up to 20 people.

Fenway Park Built in 1912, the home field of the Boston Red Sox is the oldest surviving park in major league baseball, and aficionados insist that it’s also the finest. An odd-shaped parcel of land gives the intimate park quirky features, such as the high, green-painted wall in left field, affectionately known as “the Green Monster.” Although previous owners threatened to abandon Fenway, the current ones hope to enlarge the park to accommodate the many loyal Sox fans. Behind-the-scenes tours of the park include areas normally closed to the public, like the dugouts and private boxes.

Boston Common & Public Garden Verdant Boston Common has hosted auctions, cattle grazing, and public hangings over its 350-year history, in addition to festivals and the requisite frisbee tosses. The adjacent Public Garden, opened in 1839, was the USA’s first botanical garden. Its swan boats, weeping willows, and bridge are emblematic of Boston at its most enchanting. The French-style flowerbedsmay only bloom in warmer months, but the garden exudes old-world charm year round. Emerald Necklace Boston Common and Public Garden may seem like solitary urban oases, but they are two links in a greater chain of green space that stretches all the way through Boston to the suburb of Roxbury. The Emerald Necklace, as this chain is called, was completed in 1896 by Frederick Law Olmsted, the man behind New York’s Central Park.

Faneuil Hall Marketplace Bostonians may bemoan its popularity with tourists, but this market complex deserves all the attention and accolades it has received since its revitalization in the mid-1970s. Once the pulsing center of Boston mercantile activity, the area fell into disrepair in the 1930s. Today, however, millions of visitors are testimony to its newfound vitality as a shopping and dining destination. True Irish Pubs The Quincy Market area boasts a bevy of Irish-style pubs. But if you’re craving authentic Gaelic atmosphere to complement your black and tan, the choice is more limited than appearances might suggest. Two pubs that make the grade are Kitty O’Shea’s (131 State St) and the Black Rose (160 State St; (see Black Rose)) – both within two blocks of the marketplace. Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market are both sights on the Freedom Trail (see The Freedom Trail) For more on Boston’s shopping experiences (see Essential Shopping Experiences)

Around Newbury Street Don’t let the profusion of Prada-clad shoppers fool you: there’s more to Newbury Street than world-class retail, people watching, and al fresco dining. One of the first streets created on the marshland known as Back Bay, Newbury has seen a myriad of tenants and uses over the past 150 years. Look closely and you’ll glimpse a historical side to Newbury Street all but unseen by the fashionistas. Back Bay’s Origins Since its settlement by Westerners, Boston has been nipped, tucked, and reshaped to suit the needs of its inhabitants. Back Bay derives its name from the tidal swampland on which the neighborhood now stands. During the 19th century, gravel was used to fill the marsh and create the foundations for the grand avenues and picturesque brownstones that now distinguish this highly sought-after area. For more sights and attractions in Back Bay (see Back Bay) For more on Newbury Street shopping (see Homegrown Newbury Shops)

New England Aquarium The sea pervades nearly every aspect of Boston life, so it’s appropriate that the New England Aquarium is one of the city’s most popular attractions. What sets this aquarium apart from similar institutions is its commitment to presenting not only an exciting environment to learn about marine life, but also to conserving the natural habitats of its gilled, feathered, and whiskered inhabitants. The Aquarium’s Mission The aquarium’s aim, first and foremost, is to instigate and support marine conservation. Its Conservation Action Fund has fought on behalf of endangered marine animals worldwide, helping to protect humpback whales in the South Pacific, sea turtles in New England, and dolphins in Peru.

Charlestown Navy Yard Some of the most storied battleships in American naval history began life at Charlestown Navy Yard. Established in 1800 as one of the country’s first naval yards, Charlestown remained vital to US security until its decommissioning in 1974. From the 200-year-old wooden-hulled USS Constitution to the World War II-era steel destroyer USS Cassin Young, the yard gives visitors an all-hands-on-deck historical experience unparalleled in America. Old Ironsides Given her 25-inch (63-cm) thick hull at the waterline, it’s easy to imagine why USS Constitution earned her nickname “Old Ironsides.” Pitted against HMS Guerriere during the War of 1812, the ship engaged its enemy in a shoot-out that left Guerriere all but destroyed. Upon witnessing British cannon balls “bouncing” off USS Constitution’s hull, a sailor allegedly exclaimed, “Huzzah! Her sides are made of iron.” The rest is history. Note: All sights, with the exception of the “Whites of Their Eyes” show, are free Note: Muster House, Commandant’s House, and the Ropewalk are closed to the public

Top 10 Sights USS Constitution First tested in action during the War of 1812, the USS Constitution is the world’s oldest warship still afloat. A tugboat helps her perform an annual turnaround cruise on July 4th.

Family guide to Boston Attractions

Harvard University America’s most prestigious university – named in honor of its principal benefactor, John Harvard, in 1638 – has nurtured, tortured, and tickled some of the greatest minds of the past 350 years. It has hosted everything from global economic summits to kool-aid acid tests, and educated everyone from future US presidents to late-night talk show hosts. Visitors craving contact with the Harvard mystique are in luck, since much of the university is open to the public. Harvard Lampoon Lampooners have made you laugh more than you might ever know. Aside from The Harvard Lampoon proper being the world’s oldest humor magazine, nearly every successful contemporary American comedy to reach a TV or movie screen boasts an ex-Lampooner on its writing staff. One well known ex-Lampooner is Conan O’Brien of The Simpsons fame. For more on Harvard University and Harvard’s museums (see Harvard Art Museums) Note: Combined tickets for the Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, and Sackler museums cost $6.50. Free on Saturday morning

Massachusetts Hall The university’s oldest building, constructed in 1720, acted as a meeting place for revolutionary soldiers. It continues to be a focal point of resistance movements, most recently in 2001, when students occupied the hall’s administrative offices in an effort to secure a fair wage for the university’s employees.

1

John Harvard Statue The statue’s inscription “John Harvard, Founder 1638” conceals three deceptions, hence its nickname “The Statue of Three Lies”. First, there is no known portrait of John Harvard, so the sculptor, Daniel French, used a model; second, John Harvard did not found the university – rather it was named after him; and last, the university was not founded in 1638, but in 1636.

2

Memorial Hall Built over 14 years, Harvard’s memorial to its fallen union army alumni was officially opened in 1878. Conceived as a multipurpose building, it has hosted graduation exercises, theatrical performances, and assemblies of all kinds.

3

Harvard Yard Harvard’s mixed residential and academic yard became the standard by which most American institutions of higher learning modeled their campuses.

4

Harry Widener Memorial Library The Widener is the largest university library in the US. It houses a special collection of rare books, including a Gutenberg bible and early editions of Shakespeare’s collected works.

5

Museum of Natural History Never mind George Washington’s taxidermied pheasants, the enormous Brazilian amethyst geode, or the world’s only mounted Kronosaurus skeleton. Check out the glass flowers: 830 species of plants, painstakingly replicated in brilliant, colorful glass.

Top 10 Features

Fogg Museum The world’s largest, and most comprehensive, university art collection is housed here. The focus is on Western art from the late Middle Ages to the present, with a fine selection of Impressionist works.

7

Busch-Reisinger Museum Unlike the Fogg, its Impressionist-inclined downstairs neighbor, the Busch-Reisinger leans toward German expressionism, the Bauhaus, and generally more contemporary art movements.

8

Sackler Museum The university’s Asian, Egyptian, Islamic, and later Indian art collections are on display in the relatively modern Sackler. Don’t forget to see what’s showing in the special exhibition gallery, the largest at the university.

9

Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology 10 Peabody Housing one of the world’s most comprehensive records of human cultural history, the Peabody caters for the Indiana Jones in all of us. Highlights include locally culled prehistoric artifacts, a permanent Mesoamerica exhibit, and a new gallery devoted to frequently rotating temporary exhibits.

Harvard Alumni John Adams (1735–1826) The nation’s second president, although nervous upon entering the illustrious college as a freshman, eventually became enthralled by his studies.

W. E. B. Du Bois (1868–1963) Founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Du Bois studied philosophy, and said of his experience, “I was in Harvard, but not of it”.

3

Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809–94) The 1861 grad and future Supreme Court Justice was also the class poet, delivering a stirring reading of original work at his Class Day exercises.

4

Henry Cabot Lodge (1850–1924) Harvard’s first Political Science PhD and future US senator earned notoriety for opposing American participation in the League of Nations, foreshadowing the isolationism that took hold in the US following World War I.

5

Leonard Bernstein (1918–90) The country’s greatest composer was firmly grounded in the arts at Harvard. He edited the Advocate – the college’s estimable literary and performing arts journal.

Deer Island

Family guide to Boston Attractions

Accessed by a causeway attaching the island to the mainland, 60 acres (24 ha) of the island were recently opened for recreation and walking – with dramatic views of the Boston skyline. Deer Island is also known for its state-of-the-art $3.8 billion sewage treatment plant. Distinguished by 12 gigantic egg-shaped digesters, it was key to cleaning up Boston Harbor.

Beach Street & Chinatown

As the periphery of ethnic Chinatown becomes increasingly homogenized, Beach Street remains the purely Chinese heart of the neighborhood, home to the traditional apothecaries and other merchants who serve a primarily immigrant population. An ornate Dragon Gate at the base of Beach Street creates a ceremonial entrance to Chinatown. The wall behind the adjacent small park is painted with a dreamy mural of a Chinese sampan boat.

6 Places to Eat Find the perfect place for a family to eat and discover a list of the Top Ten cafes in Boston.

Family guide to Boston

Smokers sit outside on the sidewalk terrace while tobacco-free hipsters favor the low-ceilinged basement room. There’s a Basque influence to the menu and the coffee is as dense and dark as a Baudelaire poem.

➤ 12 Bow St, Cambridge • Map B2 • Closed Sun • No DA Caffè Vittoria The jukebox at the largest of North End’s Italian cafés has nearly every song ever recorded by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Al Martino. The menu is long on short coffees and short drinks, including at least seven varieties of grappa, as well as a fair selection of Italian ices.

2

➤ 296 Hanover St • Map Q1 Diesel Café Diesel is the quintessential Davis Square gathering spot where the tragically hip rub shoulders with lesbian couples and scruffy Tufts students. The spacious café has old-fashioned booths, couches, and a pair of pool tables out back. The coffee menu includes a double-caffeine “High Octane” brew plus teas and tisanes.

3

➤ 257 Elm St, Somerville Trident Booksellers & Café Bibliophiles make pilgrimages to this fine bookstore. The in-store café and bar serves light and casual meals ranging from breakfast eggs to lunch wraps as well as dinner dishes like lasagna.

4

➤ 338 Newbury St • Map J5 Sonsie Although continental breakfast is served, the scene doesn’t really kick in until lunch time. By dusk, Sonsie is full of folks who just stopped in for a post-work drink and ended up making an evening of it. The food – pizza, pasta and fusion-tinged entrées – deserves more attention than most café-goers give it.

5

➤ 327 Newbury St • Map J5 Other Side Café Multiple-pierced and bodyart- beautiful Berklee music students and healthobsessive Boston University waifs hold down the stools and tables of this coffeehouse-cum-smoothie shack on the “wrong” side of Massachusetts Avenue. Edge without danger is part of the draw, and the espresso sports a perfect crema.

➤ 407 Newbury St, Cambridge • Map J6

Places to Eat

Cafés Pamplona 1 Café Pamplona evokes the beatnik cafés of the 50s.

branches serve mostly caffeine drinks and sweets – with sandwiches at lunch.

➤ 1369 Cambridge St, Cambridge • Map D2 • 757 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge • Map D3 Garden of Eden Café The best-dressed, most buff South Enders patronize this gem of a café for tasty dishes like duck pâté with bits of pistachio and orange or classic French onion soup. Prepare to wait in line at lunch time for the sandwiches or stop by mid-afternoon to savor a large molasses cookie with a cappuccino.

8

➤ 571 Tremont St • Map M6 Café 300 Located next to an art gallery in the central atrium of an artists’ studio building, Café 300 is a magnet for architects and artists. They come for the laid-back vibe, pasta of the day, and tasty sandwich combos like grilled eggplant, tomato, basil, and mozzarella.

9

➤ 300 Summer St • Map R5 • Closed Sun Café 10 Parish During warm weather, the tables outside Parish Café offer a terrific view of the lower Back Bay street scene. Parish has some of the most creative sandwiches in the city – designed by chefs of Boston’s top restaurants. Comfort food dishes (meatloaf with mashed potatoes, fishcakes with Pommery mustard) are also excellent.

➤ 361 Boylston St • Map M5

Audubon Circle Restaurant Trendy sandwiches and heavenly burgers make this genteel spot a step above the rest.

➤ 838 Beacon St • Map C5 • 617 421 1910 • Closed lunch Sat & Sun • $

224 Boston Street This chef-driven northern Italian trattoria is the longest lasting and most successful restaurant in the ’hood. Feast on grilled Tuscan meats and pasta dishes at half the price of North End’s restaurants.

➤ 224 Boston St, Dorchester • 617 265 1217 • Closed lunch • $$

Barking Crab

1369 Coffee House The 1369 Coffee House is as community-based as Starbucks is corporate. The original Inman Square branch has a more interesting cross section of ages and ethnicities but Central Square has sidewalk seating. Both

This colorful fish shack is most congenial in the summer, when diners sit outdoors at picnic tables. Most of the local fish – cod, haddock, tuna, halibut plus clams and crab – are so fresh that they only need the most basic of preparation.

➤ 88 Sleeper St • Map H4 • 617 426 2722 • $

Linwood Grill

Don’t let the faux Dixie decor fool you: Linwood makes a mean Carolina-style pulled pork barbecue.

➤ 69 Kilmarnock St • Map D6 • 617 247 8099 • Closed lunch Sat • $$

Legal Sea Foods Legal is a Boston chain where diners can always count on getting immaculately fresh local fish in a fine-dining setting. The clam chowder is legendary; raw clams and oysters are impeccable. Legal’s only shortcoming is that it doesn’t take reservations.
