Things to do in Boston?

I'm thinking of going to Mohegan Sun and then Boston for a couple of days... what should I see in Boston? Is there enough to do for a couple of days?

ETA We want to go tomorrow!! (we are notorious for 'planning' last minute vacations!)

If you want to head north to Newburyport, you could go whale watching. My cousin and I did that in '98 and it was amazing!

Salem isnt too much further. I dont know how fun it is when it isnt Halloween but it could be somewhere to sight-see.

Shop on Newberry Street.

Walk the Freedom Trail.

Take the boat tour thing in the floating Duck - it's actually fun!

Walk along the Charles River - it's beautiful.

If you see a little Burrito Shop called 'Ana's Taqueria' eat there! The best and freshest Mexican ever - there are a few...

It is north of Boston and it was fairly easy to find. I think the company was Newburyport Whale Watching Tours or something like that.

I only spent one day in boston, but I think there's defintiely a lot to do, there are a lot of historical sites, I've always wanted to go to Qunicy, MA, and it's like NY, there's a lot of nightlife, concerts, comedy, theatre, dining, etc

throw things at red sox fans!

We went to Cheers - it doesn't look much like the bar on the TV show, but it was cool. :)

Have fun!

i live in Boston
My favorites are
to wander around Beacon hill - the expensive area of town - lousivilee square is really pretty - gas lite streets

the publis garden is blooming and very pretty

the duck tours are a great way to see the city pretty quickly - the drivers are interesting

can go over to cambridge- harvard square is a lot of fun

quincy market/fenuil hall is always fun

charles street - has some really cute boutique shops- like newbury street but less crowded- also good restaurants on this street

north end is great or italian bakeries and dinner

as for bars -there are lots of irish bars by quincy market - some good ones are ned Divine's and the bell and hand
also more of the trendy of bars are down by boyleston the prudential center

have fun - it is a great town to wander around
