Take the airport bus to the T Blue Line station and take an inbound train to State station. Go upstairs and you will come out right at the Old State House and the site of the Boston Massacre. Walk north down Congress Street and you will come to the Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market area. This is very touristy but it is still a great place to visit and grab a bite to eat. The quintessential sit-down restaurant is Durgin Park with its famously rude waitresses. Truth be told, I haven’t been there in years though, so I don’t know how the food is.

I prefer to walk down the middle of Quincy Market and grab lunch from a few different places and bring it to the common seating area under the middle dome. There is a place that makes New England clam chowder and serves it in an edible bread bowl. They also have a pretty good lobster roll, and there is another place down further that makes pretty good fried seafood. If you don’t like seafood, there is just about every other kind of food imaginable.

When you are done, if you have time walk east towards the waterfront to the area by the New England Aquarium. You can walk around the back of the aquarium and right along the harbor. When you’re ready to head back, there is a Blue Line station nearby and you can catch the train back to the airport.

Boston is a great city to visit - whatever you do, I’m sure you’ll have fun!
