2) Have it sent to you as aBoston is the capital of the state of Massachusetts and the biggest city in New England. Historically it is one of oldest and most affluent cities in the US, but is known today for its excellent academic institutions including Harvard and MIT. The city is thriving with students and they play a part in providing Boston with its lively and unique energy. Boston was also the cradle of the American Revolution and the sights can be seen by following the Freedom Trail, a route of 4 kilometers indicated by a red line on the sidewalk. The Freedom Trail starts at Boston Common, the oldest public park in American and passes by the Old State House and the USS Constitution, which is the oldest battleship in the United States Navy and took part in the battle in 1812 with the British.
The city has a lot to offer to music lovers, from the underground rock scene, to the world-renowned Boston Symphony Orchestra which plays at Boston's Symphony Hall. Go to one of the smaller venues like the Paradise Rock Club in the West Campus area where you can enjoy new rock bands in a nostalgic environment. Boston's cuisine is dependent on the delicious seafood of the area and foodies have a large range of world-class restaurants to choose from. The oldest restaurant in the USA, the Union Oyster House, opened in 1826, and serves traditional seafood such as oysters and clams as well as having a long history of famous people patronizing the restaurant. They even have a 'Kennedy booth'! For Italian food visit the north of Boston, which is known as 'Little Italy', and enjoy some great traditional restaurants and tasty pizzerias.
After an excellent dinner, dance the night away in one of Boston's many nightclubs. Head to Allston, an area known as 'Rock City' and join the students for a fun-filled night with a great atmospheric vibe. Enjoy a pint at O'Briens Pub, or go to Wonder Bar, and enjoy all sorts of music ranging from top 40 hits to the latest in underground electric music.
