FANEUIL HALL
Built in 1742, it hosted meet- ings in the years leading up to the Revolutionary War. Just steps away is the 19th-century Quincy Market, which offers a wide variety of restaurants and food stalls. The area around the market buildings is the site of en- tertainment and street theater, even in wintertime.
Simon — “When I was in school, I would come here all the time. I played violin in the orchestra and saxophone in the band. We’d perform at the Massachusetts
State House
and then come down here and spend the day. It was a high- light of our trip into town.”
CHARLES RIVER
It winds along the edge of Boston; the city of Cam- bridge is on the other side of the river. Tree-lined paths along Memorial Drive, on the Cambridge side, provide beautiful views of Boston.
Simon — “I don’t think there’s a better view of the city. It’s the best view you can get. Five minutes from downtown, you’re right on the water, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Stunning, re- ally.”
Marissa — “I love the bike path down by Boston University; it’s my thing to do on a spring weekend. I’ll whip out my rollerblades, bring a blanket and lie down with a book. It’s one of the most relaxing places in Boston for me.”
ESPLANADE PARK
It stretches along the Charles River on the Boston side, between the Museum of Science and the Boston University bridge.
Marissa — “They have the Hatch Shell where they hold concerts, and there’s a nice path near the Charles River to go running and biking. I go with my friends and rollerblade over there. It’s a nice, relaxing place because you have the water and bridges that go over to where they have a little man-made walkway right on the water. It’s really nice in the spring and summer- time to just go lay there. When I’m stressed out, I like to go there to rollerblade or run. It’s a great workout area.”
