We went to Quincy Market on Sept 13 (Sunday). It was quite busy but we were so happy to see the variety of food stalls available. We ended up having clam chowder and lobster rolls. We sat upstairs where we had a great view of the dome and large windows. It was very relaxing compared to downstairs. Our food was... more

Faneuil Hall Marketplace is a great stop in Boston. Centrally located in downtown and near the wharf. Lots of great food and shops. Faneuil Hall itself is a nice historical stop. Yes, the marketplace is touristy and crowded on the weekends and in the summer. But that's the whole point. A great place to end your day and get a... more

You can have about any type of food you want here. The trinkets are all crap, but its definitely worth checking out. There's a historical debating hall on site, upstairs. Pretty cool. Like being in a civil war movie. more

If you can only go to one place in Boston - this would be my choice. You get a little bit of history and a LOT of good food to choose from! more

A great place to get soup and salad, by the way.) The market place area had entertainers every hour, lots of shops, a Cheers bar and restaurant,... more

I know many reviewers said this is a tourist trap, but so is times square. but that's the point - a place you have to see when visiting a new city. I am from south of boston, but I always visit faneuil hall/quincy marketplace when in town. It is the heart of the city - perfect for people watching and... more

So much to see, so much to do, all the food, all the smells. After walking up one side and down the other I was still undecided. By the time I had chosen my lunch and returned to the table my husband had his clam chowder bowl half eaten. There is a great varity of foods but I was bent... more
