        Advres lives in Salem, which is a pretty cool town in its own right and worth a visit if you're up that way.

          Seconded. I've been on several. Great every time.

            I hate to agree, because theyre the single most touristy thing you can do by far, but I took my first Duck tour last summer and had fun...

            Also fun are any of the Harbor Cruises https://www.bostonharborcruises.com/

              Oh man you guys have ride the ducks tours too? I don't know if I can bring myself to get on one of those things. I haven't even tried the tours here.

              Thanks for the recommendations guys! I'll dig through this and have more questions later

                Yeah I'm pretty sure the Duck tour shit started in Boston, not that it matters, and DJ is right, it's the single most touristy thing you can do. But it's pretty fun.

                  I will say under duress that the duck tours was fun, but I was holding a flask with my father in law, we finished the night pissing off the lady folk getting down right hammered at cheers (he wanted Norms seat) and took a cab home hours after the ladies. I think I had a good time...... not sure........ circa 2003 when we first moved there, out in 2006.

                  Touristy as fuck but USS Constitution was cool to check out, better when you have an old salty sailor walking with you. FIL loved it, like a kid in the candy store. Boat ride to/from the aquarium was a nice touch

                    Since you asked for beer recommendations I vote for the Trillium Beer Garden on the Greenway.

                      If you are new to a town, those types of things can be good activities to get a lay of the land a bit, and bang out all the super touristy spots all at once.

                      Also better if you're drinking.

                      I haven't done the Boston one, but I'd love to and then pretend I was part of a Red Sox World Series parade.

                        Lamplighter in Cambridge is solid as well. Idle Hands is a bit out of the way but great too.

                          2004 was still the best ALCS series in the history of man kind, Boston was like a boil that would not go away, slowing building, pressure building... then it burst and no one realized was happened until a week later waking up in a moist pile of ooze and offensive smells.... good times.

                            X2 on Trillium and Lamplighter. Aeronaut is in Somerville(next to Cambridge). I’ve heard good things about Castle Island brewing in Southie if you happen to be out that way.

                                ^good one, Jim’s rules and it’s very close by.

                                Abbotts frozen custard is on the way to/fro.

                                Walsh’s has the best selection of high end microbrews in Brighton Center. Great local MA, NE stuff.
