Pioneer Village is a living history museum recreating the city of Salem as it was in the 17th century. It also was a filming location for Hocus Pocus! Pioneer Village is where the scenes from the beginning of the movie were filmed. We see a flyover of an old Salem town as the opening credits roll. In one of the small houses is Thackery Binx, who wakes up to find his sister, Emily, missing. There's not a whole lot here other than a few houses . I would recommend planning to spend 30 minutes here .

This new holiday tradition uses over 350,000 LED lights to illuminate Boston's skyline. Blink! is a must-see holiday show, perfect for all ages. Nightly performances begin at 4:30 and run every half an hour throughout the property. The best place to see the show is near the giant Christmas tree. Then you can turn around to see the rest of the lights in Faneuil Hall blink too. The show isn't too long - enough time to have fun, but not have children get bored. I watched the show with a group of adults and we enjoyed it as well. It's definitely worth checking out while you're in the Faneuil Hall area!

If you're in…read morethe Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, Downtown Boston or The North End area; then be sure to stop on down. I wouldn't make a special trip here just for this place but include it with some other activity that's close by. They have a beautiful giant Christmas Tree decorated with over 350,000 lights. They play pre recorded Classic Christmas Songs & sync them to the lights for a show called BLINK. They have the show numerous times each night after dark. They post the schedule. Also don't forget to check out both sides of Faneuil Hall near the Christmas tree, there are beautiful Ice Sculptures. There was The Disney Moana Ice Sculpture & The Ice Sofa which was really Cool on the other side. They let you sit on the Ice Sofa. Don't worry you sit down on a cushion so you don't freeze or stick to the surface. The colors are blue & pink. REMEMBER TO TAKE YOUR PHONE OR CAMERA WITH YOU. YOU TAKE A SELFIE ON THE SOFA & BECAUSE OF THE LIGHTS & THE CRYSTAL CLEAR ICE YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THE BLUE MAN GROUP! PRETTY COOL!

Like every bit of Boston, this building, and everything surrounnding it has history going back to the 1700 and 1800. John Rowe was the man who purchased and built the first Rowe's Wharf 1764, which extended a short distance into the Boston Harbor. It has faced its story of ups and downs and closings before it was renovated and restored to it current glory. The Boston Harbor Hotel is the Main occupant of the current Wharf building.It is a Luxury Hotel and a memeber of preferred Hotels and Resorts Worldwide. Did a quick stop-over for a special dinner before heading off to New Hampshire.

A very nice find, a cool area of Boston. We booked an inn near by in Cambridge and Davis Square had…read morethe closest T-stop (Red line) for our location. When we first exited the T-stop we were amazed how lively and fun the square was on a Thursday night! Lots of good eateries around, stores, friendly locals you can start a conversation with while waiting at a stop light. A band was playing in a parking lot near by for locals. Sommerville Theater is right there. Tufts University in the vicinity. They also have events, festivals all year round. A Bostonian friend told me that the area wasn't as safe years ago, it didn't have a good reputation, but things have changed a lot since. Davis Square is a very cute, charming part of town, but a tad confusing to orient yourself with many intersections and streets around. We got used to it fast. Safe, cool, hip area, lots to do around. It was a good home base for our trip.

This is a pretty good bridge for a walk being that it is well over two thousand feet long…read more It's also good for a run and if you are into bicycling there is a bicycle lane on the bridge so you can ride safely over it. If you're driving over the bridge during rush hour traffic it can get a little backed up but for the most part traffic moves pretty smoothly going from one end to the other. This is the bridge that connects Boston to Cambridge so if you are doing a walk along the bridge you can get some gorgeous views of the Boston skyline and MIT. I have walked over this bridge many times and I always make it a point to stop for a break every now and then during the walk so I can take in the views. Anytime you can walk over this bridge during a sunset is definitely a bonus!

While the Harvard Bridge offers a nice leisurely stroll, the real beauty comes from the views that…read moreit provides. From the beautiful sunrises and sunsets to the spectacular views of the Boston skyline; you'll be sure to witness some magical sights while on this bridge. As I was riding the bus from Boston to Cambridge, I couldn't help but notice how stunning the views of the city were while it crossed over this bridge. I noticed several pedestrians walking and running across, so I immediately stopped at the next bus stop and headed there to get a closer view. It was the perfect time too because the sun was starting to set. Walked across the bridge and then stopped to admire the colors in the sky. Stunningly beautiful views! Not only did I have the perfect sunset, but the city views were amazing too. The skyline glows at night! If you're someone who enjoys scenic vistas, then you will definitely appreciate what the Harvard Bridge has to offer. The walk across the bridge is pretty delightful as well. There will be other people and of course cars crossing, but it still has this element of peace to it. Maybe I was just too entranced by the sunset to pay attention to anything or anyone else. I did notice that other people stopped and watched the sunset too and took several pictures. I'm guessing that this is a popular spot for it. It felt extremely safe to maneuver even during the night. When in Boston, you're probably gonna have to cross this bridge at some point to reach Cambridge. You might as well make it a point to take a nice little stroll over the Harvard Bridge while you're here. I'd say that it's worth it and so would my pictures too.

They headed to the GAPC which host Havana Club on Fridays in their upper room which holds about 450 people and rents for $1,200 a night. The lower area's capacity is around 250. Each space has a meager bar fit with the basics and comes with a handful of older Greek gentleman that range from wonderfully curious and friendly to surly and irritated. Walking in I tunneled into a twilight high school dance zone. I personally find it entertaining and charming as the experience is so different to that of a nightclub. But the price comes steep. Though the management at most clubs is probably just as interesting to deal with, the price is often significantly lower to host an event if your peeps drink. And you don't have to set-up your own sound system.
