Heading up there this weekend - never been before.
Wondering what to do, what area to stay in etc.Any advice is appreciated.

Steer clear of the women there. I've spent a lot of time there when I was younger, and get there often these days on client meetings. I've found others that agree, but the girls there are just not that attractive. They're all pretty banged up. They've got this kind of "longshoreman" look to them, kind of weathered from the ocean. They all seem to have pretty thick attitudes and look like they'd fight another girl in a heartbeat if they looked at her guy.
Aside from that, sky's the limit for great Italian food and seafood. I highly suggest a browse through Faneul Hall, where you can eat any of dozens of things. Great pizza, steamed mussels, fried clams, clam chowder, desserts, etc. I always allow for an hour or so there before heading back to the airport.

It's hard to impress someone coming from NYC/Brooklyn.
Central Park > Boston Common
Little Italy > the North End
NY's Chinatown > Boston's Chinatown
Park Slope > the South End
the Village > Harvard Square
the Met > the MFABoston has better Irish pub food and Guiness though.

I have vouchers for two free nights at any marriott - which area should I be looking at?

I grew up an hour and a half from Boston. Lived there for a year.
I hate it.
Go anywhere else instead.
Plus that college slut pictured above left.

I was born in Cambridge, but left when I was a kid.... haven't been back much since, but I do remember a great sandwich shop and a star market parking lot very well....

Especially to someone from NY.randommail - But you're right questine.

Boston has very few hipsters who think they're too cool for school...
I'd rather be in Boston than Brooklyn ANY day or time of the year

Get some good seafood...forget the North End....although it's way better than New York's little Italy (which is pretty shitty actually)

I kindof agree about North End vs Little Italy. Little Italy at one time was the better of the two, but it has changed a lot. There are some business groups in the North End that are pushing to remake Hanover into the equivalent of Newbury Street

Any bars worth going out of my way for?
- Josev0
For live music? Types of drinks?
- duckseason0
Sure.
Either good beer, or good whisk(e)y.
The less college kids, the better.

Boston is small, but you can find plenty to see and do.
Plus it's not as overwhelmingly crowded...
