    Try to get to a Pariots (nfl) or Bruins (ice hockey) game!! It's something different and a good day out. Have a bite to eat at the top of the Prudential building too.

    I love Boston.

    Its going to be cold! Really cold. Probably snowing! So wrap up

    Where are you staying?

    You could go to Wrentham Outlet Mall, there are buses to go there, but if they're are a group of you, its cheaper to hire a limo. Full of shops!

    Cambridge Galleria is the last stop on the green T at Lechmere.
    Its a shopping 'mall' - its got everything! Will be some great bargins after Christmas!
    Also, if your willing to trek a little (a train then a bus) go to South Shore Plaza. Another huge mall, plenty to buy, a little quieter than Cambridge. But just as good!

    Its free and obvious but spend some time in Boston Common and follow the Freedom Trail. It brings you around the city.... Its really nice.
    Faneuil Hall is great, its got all sorts of food, try a lobster sandwich or some New England chowder in a bread bowl.
    Be sure to wander down Newbury Street, see how the other half live!

    I loved the New England Aquaruim, its very close to Faneuil Hall.

    Go to the Top of Prudential. You used to be able go up to the top of the John Hancock but they closed it after 9/11
    The 'Pru' is just as good though, so amazing views!
    Also, as previous poster said, you can eat in the resturant, but its expensive!

    If I think of anything else, I'll be back!

    In the mean time.... Save save save!
