                <description><![CDATA[To see a stunning view of the Charles River and, on your left, the BU bridge, the Back Bay area, the Hancock Tower, the Prudential Centre and, on your right, the Museum of Science and the Zakin Bridge, there is no better place to be than the Red Line Train between Chalres/MGH and Kendall/MIT stops. <br><br>The train goes over the Charles River, and on a bright day the view is simply amazing. All for the cost of a "T" ride. <br><br>Plus, while you're on this train, you may as well stay on it to discover the joys of Cambridge, and all its wonderful squares - Central, Harvard, Porter, Davis, Inman, Teele.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A Boston institution, where you can pick up a designer bargain in an oversized jumble sale. Filene came up with the Automatic Mark Down System, whereby price tags are marked with the date, and the longer an item goes unsold, the more the price is marked down by up to 75%. Simple, and hence sometimes the shopping frenzy of people scrapping over clothes, hiding items to secure a bigger markdown and getting changed in the aisles. This branch of Filene's Basement is closed for two years from September 2007, but the chain also has stores in Columbus, Paramus, Peabody and more. See <a target="_new" href="http://www.filenesbasement.com">www.filenesbasement.com</a> for more information.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This small B&amp;B is great value and really welcoming. The rooms are large and decorated in a charming, quirky manner. The location is great - quiet, safe and close to loads of the best restaurants and bars in the Back Bay and South End areas. Also, for the environmentally conscious, the bathroom has a composting toilet!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Go to Tourist Information in the main park and pick up a Freedom Trail booklet (about $3 or $4) and then follow the trail around the city. It is clearly marked as it is a red painted line that you follow. The booklet will give you the history of Boston as you go. You can take either an hour or a whole day and get to see pretty much the whole city.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Mr Bartley's is a Boston institution, he has been serving great burgers for four decades now. It does fantastic burgers all named after different celebrities and politicians, one example being the Bill Gates - the best of everything! When you arrive at the restaurant Mr Bartley himself shows you to your table. The restaurant is a bit of squash but that just adds to the character of the place. Be warned they only take cash!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A real Bostonian restaurant, opposite the fake Cheers, in every sense. Supposedly famed for the surliness of the waiting staff, but they were perfectly civil when I was there. It's popular, crowded, and you will probably have to queue to get in. Once inside, expect to be seated at a large table wherever there's a space. It may not be ideal if you're shy and retiring, but it's a great way to meet people if you're not. Good old-fashioned food like Yankee pot roast, cornbread and, of course, Boston baked beans.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The best breakfasts in America - the blueberry pancakes are to die for, though my sister swears by the banana and pecan ones. Absolutely no frills, but friendly service and great food make this a must for breakfast if you're visiting Boston.]]></description>
