I’ll have one and a half days worth of free time. What is something I absolutely must do in that time? I’ve never been there.

If you like art mesuems, check out any number of theirs. Our favorite is the Boston Fine Arts, but there lot of awesome smaller ones as well.

Faneuil Hall is a really cool, historic shopping center to spend some time at.

Boston Burger Co has some very excellent burgers for decent pricing, a few locations through Boston and surrounding.

Can never go wrong hitting the aquarium or the Franklin Park Zoo.

I don’t know why, but I got really excited at the mention of burgers. I appreciate all of the suggestions!

There's the Museum of Science, Fanueil Hall, Fenway park (even a tour if there is no game), the freedom trail, and tons more

Are they not good? I've never had one, but everyone says you've gotta try a Boston creampie.

I've never been there either, but enjoy your stay!

They've got a really cool aquarium - the main tank stretches over several floors and is spectacular.

Second this, and catch a baseball game

I haven't been there in years, but (not a sports fan at all) Boston made going to a ball game a real treat! Crazy fans, lots of fun!

MIT was really neat, and the Commons was awesome.

The aquarium is amazing. I spent too much time hanging with the penguins.

The Mapararium is off the beaten track and really cool.
