When friends come to Boston and ask for suggestions on what to see, this is the walk that I give them. There is no better way to experience the history, nature, food and fashion of the city. Come on a walk of five neighborhoods, from chic Newbury St, to the mansions of Commonwealth Ave, to the charm of the Boston Common, to the Colonial trappings of Fanieul Hall, to the culinary delights of the Italian district. We'll end where the Revolutionary War began. If you only have a few hours in Boston, this is the way to see the best of the best.
