Or you could go to Hawg's house for the largest porn collection this side of the Mississippi!
This is simply untrue and since Samuel22 hails from Denmark, I doubt she would be impressed by US porn, much less mine.
When in Boston I would recommend getting tickets to the Comedy Connection at Fanueil Hall also known as Quincy Market. For the money, you can't beat the entertainment and it is one of the better comedy clubs in the country.
For dinner, I would recommend Boston's Italian North End where you will find a bewildering array of Italian restaraunts and every North End dinner should be followed with a visit to Mike's Pastry for a cannoli or two and to gawk at the amazing selection of artistic desserts. Graffitti is a nice place there for an adult beverage and to check out the models/beautiful people. The North End is just a short walk from Quincy Market.
Stop in at a club called "The Rack" just outside of the market for a look at a popular nightspot for a lot of Boston's athletes.
A Duck tour might be the way to go, because the drivers are knowledgeable about Boston's history and tend to be comedians in their own right. The Swan Boat at the Boston Common is also a unique Boston tradition that you might enjoy.
I went to NYC for the first time two years ago and found the entire city impressive. I particularly enjoyed the boat trip past the Statue of Liberty over to Ellis Island where there is an excellent museum/exhibit about that island's history as a processing point for immigrants to America. It was much better than I thought it would be. You could easily spend a few hours there.
I also walked to Ground Zero and found it to be a sobering and emotional experience. You kind of have to see it to believe it, although I understand that some construction has taken place since I was there.
Take a walk down Fifth avenue and poke around the upscale stores. Check out St. Patrick's cathedral. Wow.
Central Park is quite impressive and is a beautiful area to walk and people watch. It is huge. You should also see Times Square at night and perhaps try to get discount tickets to a Broadway show. There is a kiosk right in Times Sq. that sells them. You should get your picture taken with the "naked cowboy" who is always there (he does wear underwear) for the folks back home.
Speaking of huge, the most amazing thing about NYC is it's sheer size. It is far larger than Boston and there is always something happening in the streets. It's the most impressive city on the planet. You could simply walk around and be entertained.
Enjoy the game and your trip!
