Overcrowded tourist spot that should be gone to once (just to say you went) and then avoided. Better restaurants and bars throughout this wonderful city to enjoy

This historic building has the company of two commercial pavilions, with shops and food/drink places, inside and outside, with lots of people at the evenings. Hard Rock Cafe and seafood restaurants are just beside, with more space to sit. Deserves a quick look anyway...people seems happy overthere!

I always love going to Faneuil Hall. There are great shops and restuarants and just a lot of fun to hang out. It's a nice pedestrian area.

Nice place to visit, lots of different booths around the hall, different things. Inside lots of good food, only problem on a busy day is finding a place to sit.

Get there early before the crowds and it is really a nice place to walk around and enjoy....after the crowds, high tail it out of there and get elsewhere! LOL There is no shortage of shopping and eating so bring lots of cash.

Historic surroundings and enough restaurant choices in the food court that it made it extremely difficult to decide what to eat, because everything looked wonderful. There were 4 of us, so we finally decided to try four places to eat and share. A wise decision! Extremely crowed for lunch, so be prepared for a little pushing your way through the... More
