                <description><![CDATA[Go to Harvard Yard, the Harvard museums. Have cake and coffee at The High Rise Cafe on Brattle St. Go to the MIT Museum. Watch an independent film at the Kenmore Square Cinema. Go to the Central Sq nightspots - River Gods, Zuzu's, The Middle East.<br><br>Boston, apart from the Back Bay, the Common, and the Aquarium, is a bit boring and touristy. If you're from England, the historic sites won't seem very historic.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[For a special night out while in Boston try this place. Old English style chop house, in a fine dining way (and price!). Make sure you book as it gets really busy. As does the bar, which is also a great spot for a drink apres shopping on Newbury Street.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Restaurant/bar: fabulous thin crust pizzas, great selection of wines and beers. Superbly chilled out, good value and - best of all - flat screen TVs showing the sport but with no sound... fun for the guys and the gals.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A bar for the beer lover. Don't let the dive atmosphere or lack of sunlight put you off. Choose from the extensive beer menu, both local and from overseas. There are 15 beers on draft and up 99 served in bottles. Can't decide? Let the bar tender spin the "Wheel of Indecision" and see where you end up. <br><br>This is a cash only venue "In God we trust, everyone else pays cash" as the sign above the door notes and they only serve beer. Don't ask for a JD and coke!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Located in Brookline, about 10 minutes outbound from Boston on the Green Line of the T (Brookline Village T stop), Matt Murphy's is an Irish pub and a quality place for food and drink. Why, you may ask, am I directing you there while you may be visiting America from somewhere with more than a few Irish pubs?  Aside from genuinely yummy food, great drinks, and a great staff, Matt Murphy's has some fantastic - and free -  live music.  They've recently seen the launch of an independent record label  (Pub Records) showcasing a variety of the excellent bands heard there in recent history.<br><br>This place is cash only, but no worries - there are a couple of cash points across the street.  It's also non-smoking - but so is all of Massachusetts now.<br><br>If you don't now how to get there, just ask anyone when you get off the T at Brookline Village.  If they don't know, they must be a tourist too,  just ask the next person.  It's about a three-minute walk from the T station if you take your time.  Quietly sat between a doughnut shop and a real estate broker, you could easily walk right by without noticing it.  That is, until the music comes on.<br><br>Have fun!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This is the heart of Boston's North End, once the Italian enclave in the region. The street is lined with cafes, bakeries and several styles of Italian restaurants - most with open air seating during the summer. Great for people watching, it connects the Financial District to Boston's harbor. A nice small park connects Hanover St to the Old North Church.]]></description>
