My husband and I nearly stumbled upon the marketplace, after visiting the New England Aquarium nearby - yes we were tourists visiting the city. There are so many dining options, all at pretty reasonable prices. We got food from the Boston and Maine Co. - I had a chicken wrap with clam chowder - the wrap was a little heavy on the lettuce, but not bad; the chowder was the highlight - very tasty, with the right amount of salt and seasoning - DELICIOUS! This chowder beats the socks off the chowder at Legal Sea Foods (which I also tried while in Boston). My husband had the chili and buffalo chicken wrap and he said both were tasty. We walked a bit to North End and got dessert from a little italian bakery (not sure of the name) and then brought it back to the marketplace and had it with nice hot Starbucks. Great place; its a must see!

Pros: Lots of choices, price is good

Cons: Very busy, might be hard to find seating if you have a big group

A cartoon version of Boston's past, tidied up, prettified, and made palatable for tourists so that they needn't take the time to explore the real city. Locals avoid this place like the plague.

Fanueil Hall is more than a shopping experience, it's a visit to the town square. Food, nightclubs, people watching, buskers - it's so much more than mere shopping, it's a whole day/nite experience. No admission charge! I drive from Harford to spend the day there.

Pros: free admittance, lots to do and see, a full day experience

Cons: Lack of Toilets, Needs more seating, bad parking

Great place to bring a group of friends that have a wide range of food tastes. Or, if you are like me and you like to sample a little bit of everything. Everything is delicous

Every few months or so, I just need a place to go and take in the sights that Boston has to offer. Faneuil Hall is one of my favorite places. The people watching is great and the restaurants are all spectacular. And who can forget the Godiva Chocolate store!

Pros: diversity, entertainment

Cons: lavatories

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

Come summertime, note that the popular, packed food hall is not any air-conditioned; when the mercury is rising, bring your food outside and hope for a breeze.
