Hi - need to go to Longwood Medical (specifically BWH). Want to get a rental but don't know the area it's in (like Back Bay, South End, etc.). Also, any recommendations for apartment rental sites would be appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone have any idea of how quickly parking fills up at the Lowell stop on the 4th of July? Or any suggestions on best starting point to take the rail into Boston from the North? We can't get started until the afternoon.

Help. Will be staying in Nashua around the 4th and would like to take kids to see fireworks in Boston. It doesn't look like the bus from there returns late enough for us to see the show. Also, I don't think the T runs on this holiday, so driving to closest station (Lowell) is out. What next? Can anyone recommend a hotel that would be at or very near a bus stop as far out from the city as possible, but one that would take us right into the heart of the fun?
We're trying to avoid driving in Boston, high parking fees...

We'll be in Boston for a couple days in August as part of a New England vacation. Our plan is to use Marriott points in Boston, so we're debating between the Downtown/Tremont Marriott and the Copley Square Marriott. We've seen a number of compliments and criticisms on other sites, but wanted a bit of additional feedback. Does anyone have experience at one or both of these places. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The 5-months pregnant wife and I are trying to get in one last vacation before the new one arrives. So, we're headed to Boston for 4th of July weekend.

Of course, we're staying close to the commons so we can walk home from the fireworks. We're old veterans at fireworks on the DC Mall, so we think we know what to expect. That being said, what should we expect? What can we do on Saturday, and how crowded will it be?

Anyone want to get together for dinner/drinks on the 5th of July?

I may be travelling to New England around the 26th of September this year. If so, I was planning to take a three or four day trip through New England to see the leaves. However, friends have told me that it can be a bit of a traffic and lodging nightmare. Therefore, should I start booking rooms along the way as soon as possible, or will I be able to find affordable accomadation along the way if I decide to just wing it and go were the road takes me? Also, any advice as to which are the best roads to take in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine? Thanks.

Hi there!

I will be in Boston on Memorial Day and I was just wondering: will most museums be open or closed? We don't celebrate Memorial Day in Canada, so is there anything special going on that I should know about? Thanks, can't wait to go back to Boston!

Hi, we are planning a day trip to downtown Boston from Cape Cod on a weekend day. Do you know if there are any coach service from Cape Cod to Boston? Or if we drive which is about 1 1/2 drive, should we park in a paid garage and then visit Boston by foot or public transport during the day? What would you recommend for a day trip? We were thinking of driving around but it looks like that is the worst option.

Thanks.

Where were the original cannons for the U.S.S. Constitution made? I live in the northwest corner of Connecticut and have heard it said that this ship's cannons were manufactured in Salisbury, CT. I have also heard that the town's name can still be found prominantly labeled on the cannons today. Is this true?

Hi,
I'm going to Boston for work from 7th to 14th June. Pity I didn't get confirmation earlier or I could have got some Red Sox tickets... anyway, I decided to stay in NYC until the 19th and fly back from JFK. What's the best way to get to NYC on public transport?

Going to be in Boston for 3 nights in July. We are 2 adults and 3 kids (2 x 13 year olds and a 9 year old). Going to do most of the tourist stuff so downtown is good, but we could also go out to the "burbs" provided there is direct mass transit. In some of the cities that we have traveled to we have been fortunate to find a true "suite" hotel - meaning 2 separate bedrooms with a common living room area with pull out couch. That works really well for us. Typically this arrangement is less money than getting 2 adjacent hotel rooms. Anyone have any recommendations?
