The Steven Tour of Boston
Settled back into Boston? Soon Mom, Dad and that pesky cousin Ned from Ohio will all be coming to visit with the expectation of sight-seeing in the nation’s most historic city. For the best and cheapest excursion, consider the Steven Tour of Boston; it costs a buck and a quarter, includes a boat tour and requires no prior knowledge of US history. The Steven Tour starts at the National Park Center outside the State Street T. From April through November, Rangers offer a free 90-minute guided walk that covers the Freedom Trail, Faneuil Hall, Paul Revere House and the Old South Meeting House. The Rangers will highlight Boston in revolutionary times starting with Boston Tea Party and the Shot Heard ‘Round The World. The National Park Tour ends in the North End, where I recommend resting your feet and lunching at LAFAMIGLIA GIORGIO (112 Salem Street) as they offer a student discount. After lunch, continue by walking over the North Washington Street Bridge into Charlestown. Head over to visit the USS Constitution and take a free tour of the nation’s oldest commissioned warship dating back to 1797. After the USS Constitution visit walk over to the MBTA Ferry Stop and can catch a $1.25 boat ride to the Aquarium. The ride captures scenic views of downtown Boston.
Hockey is back!
Another great visit for a tourist is the TD Banknorth Garden. The Boston Bruins opened their season this month with a crushing defeat delivered by the Montreal Canadiens. The National Hockey League is back after a year of labor strife and is offering two great deals. Every Thursday night students can obtain half-price tickets on the $42-$52 seats. There are also a limited number of $10 promotional tickets available to the public. Stop by the TD Banknorth Garden ticket office to get tickets and avoid service fees.
