    not necessarily......you'll definitely find some places in Boston that have outdoor seating......newbury street area does (which is awesome btw, and several bars in and around the city).

    This church bath?

    Its in Cambridge, Harvard Square, a good 45 minute, non-traffic drive from Mansfield.

    Or do you mean the Old North Church? Which is in the North End of Boston, the Paul Revere Lantern church. Also about 45 minutes.


    ALL I know is that Presidents John Adams & John Quincy Adams are both interred there along with their wives.

    Ah, the one in Quincy. (guess where the city got its name ;) )

    A touch closer to Mansfield than Cambridge or Boston, still a solid 30-35 minute drive with no traffic.

    You are so awesome with all of your knowledge of burial grounds and churches.
    :)

    In regards to Boston, do NOT go to the Cheers restaurant.
    :p
    Yes, to the Oyster House. :)

    hmmm, strongly disagree, Newbury St. sucks, overpriced, touristy, and generally below average food.

    If you are in that area, walk over one street near Copley Sq. (Boylston St.) and have an outdoor lunch or dinner at Abe & Louie's, excellent food.

    I would also recommend walking through the North End, good history, good food.

    Union Oyster House is "okay", but I wouldn't put it high on a list of places to visit. Faneuil Hall in general is not worth more than a walk through for the history part.

    For those making fun of the South End earlier in this thread, it features far and away the best restaurants in Boston. Worth a visit, start on Tremont St. in between E. Berkely and Dartmouth cross streets, tons of great places to eat there.
