Dunkin Donuts on every street corner. I miss it

Definitely find the nearest Papa Ginos pizza, it is the best pizza in the world and only sold in New England

Where in Boston? I'm 40 minutes out of the city. A bunch of us are fairly close by. Papa Ginos is ehh... I've had way better. If you want to take a trip out of the city we could get some truck together

The only must see in Boston is John. You can find him in most of the bathrooms in a 50 mile radius.

I'll be in downtown Boston for a couple of days, then I'll be in Methuen for a wedding...As far as a truck, I'll be flying so no truck will be involved

This is more in the line of what I've been thinking. Dunkin Donuts and Papa Gino's are far from the best of what Boston has to offer.

I would add to the list, a harbor cruise. Blue Man Group at the Charles Playhouse. We like to eat at a place called Fire and Ice. There's one in the south end and a cool one in Cambridge. There are many good resturaunts. The waterfront is nice.

When we go, we just like to walk around. Go through Beacon Hill to see if we can spot any stuffy politicians. We go through the neighborhoods and look at the architecture. Maybe hop on the Red Line uptown to find a cafe and veg with a coffee for a while.

Fire and Ice is fantastic! If you can afford it... go to a sox game. It's a good time and I'm not that into baseball. Harbor Cruises are cool and even walking the city is fun. There is a lot of history to be seen. I need to take a trip in there this summer again. Haven't been since the fall
