I'm in Boston with my dad for 3 days. What are the must see's and do's? We just arrived at our hotel and are playing around online trying to get a feel on what is fun and cheap to do. I am 17 so any alcohol related things are out of the question.

Here are some hot women (feel free to contribute more)

Well you could start by going on a duck boat tour, thatd open up some other ideas. they also have haunted walks at night that travel through the famous grave sites and what not.

Go to the North End, tons of great food, check out regina pizzeria and bova's bakery. There are quite a few museums in the area as well. Quincy Market has an awesome newbury comics and the whole of Boston is pretty sweet.

Go to Harvard Square and ask where Berry Line. It's a cheaper alternative to Pink Berry, but there are never any lines.

it depends where ur hotel is the city, if ur close to like the boston commons walk around on Newbury St. and theres some pretty good stores and places, state house is pretty cool and theres the best pizza place ever right near there on Ashburton st. called Cafe Cuatro, pizza is mad good, always good is Quincy Market, idk if u like baseball but go to Fenway park and see a red sox game, but go during the like 3rd or 4th inning and u can get tickets from the window for like 5 bills or somthing, ur not missing anything in the first inning they suck this year, u could go to like skyzone boston in Everett, right outside of boston, head down to the charles river and walk around there, just take the red line around the city and just explore there are tons of places and things to see

Oh one more thing, I'm not sure what kind of clothes you like, but if you're into Obey, Supreme, Diamond etc. Go check out Bodega, it's basically a convenience store, but when you walk to the back there's a vending machine that slides open and opens up into a store. It's dope as well. Go check out Orchard and awol as well if you're in the outskirts.

I've lived in boston all my life and would not recommend quincy market its all fast food. Harvard square is a great place to get a feel for boston as well as some good food and inb4 berry line is great. Also newbury street if you are looking for some chic shopping. Duckboat tours are always fun and they are a classic, don't do the regular bus tours cuz boston is a very boring city to look at but the Charles is sweet. Science museum is fun too.

Science Museum
Celtics Game
Red Sox Game (even though they suck, fenway and the atmosphere is always kickass)
Harvard Square (Spent an entire summer there, its awesome to walk around and Au Bon Pain makes awesome sandwiches)
Find a Pizzeria Regina and get a slice (Faneuil Hall comes to mind)
Boston Commons and Newbury St.
North End
The Aquarium
Stores throughout the town
Go out and drive on 95/128, Rt 1 leading into boston from the north, and 93 to claim you've driven with the worst of the worst (I drive it around three times a week)

Instead, go the Charlestown. Rob a bank. Then skip Boston and hit up Dorchester, Quincey, and Lowell. Most beautiful parts of Mass. and probably the whole eastcoast.

No dice on the sox...gone til next friday..if it interests you though, the fenway park tour is actually an excellent tour. $12, takes an hour, tickets sold at the main office near gate A. and despite my well known status on here regarding fenway, I'm actually not biased. I have never been on a tour. Take one and try to find an ns sticker in an unlikely place at the ballpark

My mom is a historian so she always dragged us to the museums and stuff. The freedom trail is ok. Coolest parts were the USS Constitution and the museum next to it. The rest of it is like the same lame birthplace of some dude after another.

Eat at the Union Oyster House, epic.

definitely go to the aquarium and go to an omnitheater showing at the museum of science. also go to cambridge and walk around harvard and go to weeks bridge and watch some rowing if you can. if you want good breakfast in cambridge go to the breakfast club over by harvard business school

also go to mike's pastries around little italy

We saw the state house and wandered around Quincy Market, unfortunately the red sox were in philly today. We also walked the freedom trail and explored a lot of the city. Thanks for the great suggestion!
