Wander through America's oldest public park, Boston Common, where colonial history lurks beneath every footpath. The Freedom Trail connects 16 revolutionary sites with a simple red line - history made foolproof. Fenway Park remains gloriously unchanged, a baseball cathedral where fans worship the Green Monster wall with religious fervor. At Quincy Market, sample clam chowder while street performers work for your spare change. The North End's narrow streets hide Italian bakeries where cannoli wars have raged for generations. Harvard students cross the river to visit actual students, while the Museum of Fine Arts houses treasures that would make European museums jealous.
