Boston

Boston is one of the oldest cities in the USA, yet one of the "youngest" and most avant garde with more than 80 universities in the Boston metro area alone. Full of history and historical monuments, Boston also has a modern skyline of towering skyscrapers, a beautiful harbor and port, a quiet river and green and relaxing parks.
When in Boston be sure to walk the famous historical "Freedom Trail", walking the streets of the oldest part of the city. Keep an eye out for the cute squirrels roaming in the Old Granary Burial Ground where you can find the tombs of such important American Revolution figures such as Samuel Adams, John Handcock, Paul Revere, or take a stroll through the Boston Commons, which is a beautiful park in the center of the city and ride on the "Swanboat".
No visit to Boston would be complete without a taste of the authentic New England Clam Chowder, Boston Baked Beans and brown bread or the Boston Cream Pie, which is really more of a cake. After all that walking you need to try Boston's own beer. Yes, Samuel Adams brewery, the Boston Beer Company, is producing lagers, ales and seasonal brews so you'll want to try one of them.
