yea i'm taking the train down just to see the city during the day with my friend. i know i want to go see the commons, and its supposed to be really nice tomorrow, so what else is there to do thats close. i think we have to take a subway from north station to something to get there, but there's just so much shit to do i want to wander around and get lost. so yea, directions and suggestions from people who live there.

Are you taking the downeaster amtrak? if so, you end up at north station (AKA TD bank Garden).  From there take the orange line to Back Bay, tons of good shops and restaurantes.

You can walk to the commons from north station,  if you know how to get to quincy market, Walk up state street till you get to tremont street, take a left and keep going till you see it, maybe a 15 - 20 minute walk

green line from northstation to park st (any train, b c d e) will let you out right on the common. Theres not tooooo much to see there, but walk up to quincy market and theres alot of stuff around there, or head to the fenway area if yer 21 for some good bars and stuff.

boston isn't a bad city for walking. From north station you can easily get to quincy market, and from there you can go across towards the aquarium. Even if you don't go in the aquarium, the whole area is pretty nice, and theres some good views of the harbor/logan. OR you can go to downtown crossing, which i believe is actually at park st stop, it's not what it used to be, but still pretty cool. The north end is pretty cool too.

basically from quincy market you can get anywhere.

boston is the shit. I go back the 24th for school and I live in the longwood medical area. so easy to take the T anywhere and fenway is only a short walk too. I'd say definetly stop at quincey market, then make your way across the street to the water. go for a short walk up the edge there are some really cool buildings and shit plus its quite peacefull and great view on a nice day. from there you can go back to the government center stop and take it to park st. or find your way on a walk if you wanna save a few bucks. Park st drops you off right at the commons which is so dank on a nice day. bring a long board and hit up the hill on the side, super smooth and not many people. or just throw a frisbee. have a good time man!

Bodega is a sick shop.

Fanuiel hall is also sick.

If you're looking for skate spots just say and I can tell you.

the amtrak is such a waste of money. it cost $60 per person and goes slow as fuck. you could drive here and beat the train by half an hour. the only thing good about it is you can sit and chill. but if you want to save some money on the t, buy a charley card at the cafe on the amtrak.

It is Mike's pastry, Mondern pastry on Hanover st is better. Tomorrow is the Fisherman Fest in the North End. There are a bunch of venders and things going on in the North end. Boston is a good city to just walk around and check things out. Boston has so much history to check out, some good shops in downtown crossing, (orange line). Green line can take you to the Fenway area.

faneuil hall and quincy market are definitely worth a visit, such good food in quincy market and faneuil hall has shops and stuff. the aquarium is also pretty sick. also the science museum is actually really awesome. a lot of cool stuff there. but a lot of people are probably more knowledgeable then me

Get a Charlie card from one of the attendants in a subway station, it will help you a lot if you plan on riding the T a lot.

you all are doing it wrong.

go to the ica.
go to spike's hot dogs in allston (greenline)
go to bodega
if you skate go to ski market, then walk behind it and go down the stairs. youll know.
newbury st if youre a trick
commons to smoke weed
sugar daddies if youre over 18
looney tunes
anna's taqueria or habanero or picante.

go out and explore. dont look like a fucking tourist.
