This is a wonderful way to see Boston! Put on some comfortable shoes and experience the 2.5-mile trail full of historical information. The tour starts at Boston Common, but can easily be picked up at any point along the way just by following the signs throughout the city. The path allows you to visit sites that are very important to the city's history, including the Paul Revere House, the statue of Benjamin Franklin, and the site of the Boston Massacre. Should you have any questions, the men and women dressed in colonial attire will be glad to answer them.

BACK BAY. Boston's version of Fifth Avenue or Rodeo Drive, Newbury Street spans eight city blocks, and its historic storefronts offer charming glimpses of Boston during the mid-to-late 19th century. Among a phalanx of open-air coffee shops, cafes, antique stores, custom clothiers, and brand-name boutiques are some of the city's true architectural gems, including the Art Deco Ritz Carlton, Richard Upjohn's Church of the Covenant (1865), and the Temple for the Working Union of Progressive Spiritualists (now Waterstone's Booksellers), finished in 1884.

BEACON HILL. This Beacon Hill dining room has quickly become a favorite with the State House crowd. Chef Barbara Lynch continually updates and tweaks the menu, which emphasizes fresh ingredients and places particular focus on regional Italian and French cuisines.

In contrast to the main dining room, reservations are not needed to dine in the cafe-bar.

FINANCIAL DISTRICT. Twenty-somethings who work in the Financial District gather at this upbeat bar and grill to close out the week in true style. Neon lights bathe the space in cool, sexy tints of blue; all the while the young, good looking clientele poses and preens at the bar, trying to capture the gaze of the bartenders ... and each other. Thursdays and Saturdays feature DJs who spin Top 40 and hip-hop; Fridays pit great drink specials with some of Beantown's top cover bands. And if the need to feed arises, the kitchen serves up delish bites like fried calamari and popcorn shrimp until 9pm.

BACK BAY. A beloved part of the Boston scene since the late 1970s, Atlantic Fish sports an updated atmosphere these days – in other words, the original's galley look was traded in for a more polished scene of stained wood, pendant lights, coffered ceiling and crisp white linens. The menu, though hasn't changed all that much over the years (Hey, why mess with a good thing!), and Atlantic's kitchen continues to serve up timeless raw bar classics like shrimp cocktail, iced Littleneck clams and Blue Point oysters. Patio dining is available.
