I recently spent the 4th of July weekend in Boston. What a great city -- partly because of the metro subway system. It's really easy to get around and see the sights at a walking pace.

Legal Seafood is a very good local chain -- I do have a recommendation for lunch in Boston's North End. Fantastic Italian restaurant -- great walking area -- and again I reached this using the subway system downtown. After eating -- check out the delis and ice cream shops -- a visual feast awaits you.

The public art in the Boston Back Bay area is also a fun place to explore on foot. I was staying in a hotel in the Back Bay and so criscrossed that section of the city several times.
