     The City of Boston, Massachusetts attracts over 12 million tourist from across the country and all over the word. This vibrant, thriving city is "renowned for its cultural facilities, world-class educational institutions, champion sports franchises, as well as its place at the very forefront of American history". Tourism is one of New England's largest industries; as the region's social and commercial "hub", Boston is willing to take care of and entertain you as few other cities can.

     Even though i live relatively close to Boston I still consider it a vacation spot. For three years now we have gone to Boston for thanksgiving weekend. We have always stayed at the Marriott Custom House, the Custom house is one of my favorite places to stay, it is a 26 story historic landmark that is now a luxurious hotel which has a beautiful view over Boston Harbor and the city itself. The 26th floor is a observation deck that one can walk around for a magnificent 360 degree view of the city. The custom house is only a block away from Faneuil Hall so it is easily in walking distance for some fun shopping and delicious eating. 

     Boston is a great place to visit whether it be for business or for pleasure. The places that you must visit is definitely the Marriott Custom House whether you be there to stay or just to check out the memorabilia of its history and the amazing clock tower. When you decide to eat at Faneuil Hall you will be faced with three major decisions, these would be McCormick's and Schmick's, Dicks Last Resort and Cheers. McCormick's is more of a formal dinning while Cheers is more of a normal relaxed setting, then their is my preferred restaurant. Dicks Last Resort is a restaurant in which the waiters are payed to treat you in a disrespectful manner. Customers of Dick's are expected to be insulted or placed in uncomfortable situations. Adult bibs and large, fun, hand-made, paper hats are given to diners to wear during their stay. With no napkins on the tables, they are generally thrown directly at the customers by the serving staff. when done having lunch I advise going on a stroll through Boston Common.
