Re: Hey KHZ! Im going to be in town July 8-12
the mac and cheese pie at faneuil hall is actually amazing, and the greenhouse sells air ferns, but quincy market lacks. the old state house is neat, and if you like maps there is a super nice hotel there that has a huge collection of original old maps of boston when it was a tiny swampy pit in the 1700s that you can go upstairs and see. they let you in and show you to the map room even if you look kind of like a bum.
also there's a gym with all glass windows that says "judgment free zone" which is pretty hilarious given the context because i make sure to judge EXTRA every time i walk by.
if you don't have the money or desire to watch a full red sox game the bleacher bar is decent, you can see the game, get your drink on, and then leave.
i don't drink but people i've dated have always said good things about jillian's and game on, and miracle of science.
as for walking the whole city in a day, maybe if you are a wild hare or perhaps some kind of antelope but for regular people i think you would probably want to die if you tried to do that. i suppose if you t'd it to hotspots and just did downtown, some of allston, a little bit of the camb/somerville, fenway because i'm biased and you should probably do the north end/southie just because (see corey if you would like to hear someone wax poetic on southie) then maybe you could squeeze it all in in a day but i would not recommend one day because the true essence of boston is trudging around in bad weather with hostile bloodthirsty drivers for a few days and seeing all the annoyed, embittered, and closed-off faces of the non-tourist pedestrians around you.
