So I am heading out to Boston this November to visit my sister. I already know I want to go skiing I just am having trouble on deciding. Keep in mind my sister sucks at skiing so a place where it is fun for everyone.

Also I was wondering about the city. Any good places to eat?
I also heard there is like a shop that is underground or something.(might e nyc...)

But to sum it up. I am visiting my sister and Want to know what there is to do there for a under age kid and sister to do.

Withing an hour of boston your only going to fine small locals mountains. The best one is Wachusett i ski there almost three times a week and its just a fun mountain, they had a decent park this year. heres the website: http://www.wachusett.com/
My home hill is nashoba, if you dont ski park DONT come we have 5 trails which barely even count.
If your willing to drive you can find some nice skiing Mtns such as Loon in NH, Waterville in Nh, Sugarbush in vt, and many others offer some good skiing and great parks.
Hope this helps hit me up if you need more info.

ask your sister where holworthy is, find the middle door and the room to the right of it on the bottom floor, then go around back to the windows and my initials are carved in there. Holworthy hall summer 2010 represent!

i think the shop you are talking about is called bodega....it's disguised as a convenience store but when you go in there's a soda/vending machine in the back that you have to get through to get into the shop and it's so sick. It's on clearway street. that's all i can tell you.

as for places to eat I suggest Fire and Ice...it's a buffet style stir fry place. $17 all you can eat and there's so many combos and shit you can get that you'll leave there in a wheel chair. it's off of the Arlington stop on the green line. while you're in the dorms you can go meat jamie anderson since she goes there. and she's dope.

fanueil hall (really quincy market is where everything good is, but it's all part of the same plaza) and downtown crossing can be fun. Harvard square is good also, though i havent been there much. The aquarium area is also pretty cool, but maybe not so much now since it isn't summer...


as for restaurants...there's too much good stuff to list. However, if you are looking for a proper dessert, don't bother going anywhere but mike's pastry in the north end. It's hands down the best. I hate damn near everything about the north end, but mikes is incredibly good.

ha take a tour of Fenway and see if you can find where I secretly hid an NS sticker back in the summer. It's inaccessible on a game day, and I'm not even sure that tour guides are allowed where it is.

Well I am here and I just went into boston.

Mikes was super good, checked out the bodega place and that was sick. Also checked out Karma Loop, But I did get dragged into a second hand shop near karmaloop (across the street) and found a 18 dollar lrg hoodie and a ll dollars lrg hoodie.

Anyways Anything else to do around Cambridge around this time.

p.s Campus is dead so there is nothing going on really...
