- You know a hotel is swank when you can actually remove the hangars from the clothing rack.
- Fire alarms and tenth floor != fun.
- South Bay is painfully suburban but sports a Target for those essentials you just forgot to bring. O_O
- Otenth knows all the good restaurants in town.
- Legal Seafood is merely 'good'. Want yah chowdah, theyah ya go. But ask Otenth first. West coaster bias for really strong Pacific salmon applies. YMMV.
- Maggiano's is 'quite pleasing'.
- Duck Tours are fun.
- Massachusetts has a weird lack of laws on some things. No seat belt law. Requirement to buy and operate a yacht: A chequebook.
- Lotsa great history.
- Lotsa lovely old and new architecture.
- The city feels 'smallish' despite its population. Maybe it's just the neighbourly feel to it.

Oh, but there are seat belt laws. It's just that people ignore them in taxicabs. I don't think that's unique to Boston, but any stretch. In my experience, people don't put on seatbelts in cabs in New York City or Philadelphia, either.
Good heavens! I have seen how cabbies drive, at least on the west coast. I have always worn a seatbelt in cabs.
Not only do I wear a seatbelt in cabs, I like to be mildly sedated, too.
I'm sure the fire alarm was even more fun for the rest of the guests if the saw a great white lion among them!
Boston Taxi travel wasn't scary at all. Mind you, I've been in taxis in Shanghai. Not even New York holds a candle to that level of insane. (And it was FUN! :D )
Plus I met a lot of really good cabbies. Want a strong tip, turn the trip into a social exercise or a mini-tour.
And the local accent rubbed off a bit on me to the point a cabbie asked if I was from Philly.
