Boston
Bostons history recalls revolution and transformation, and today the city is still among the countrys most forward-thinking and barrier-breaking cities.
The arts have thrived in Boston ever since the 19th century, when this cultural capital was dubbed the Athens of America. Certainly, the intellectual elite appreciated their fine paintings and classical music, but they were also dedicated to spreading the cultural wealth, establishing museums, libraries and symphony orchestras for all to enjoy. Today the lucky residents of (and visitors to) Boston benefit from their largesse. These venerable institutions play an integral role on Bostons cultural stage, which has significantly expanded to include dynamic contemporary art, music and theater scenes.
Fanatic is no idle word here. Boston fans are passionate about sports. And with the five-time world-champion Patriots, the long-overdue World Serieswinning Red Sox, the winningest basketball team in history, the Celtics, and the highly successful and historic hockey team, the Bruins, there is a lot to be passionate about. Bostons college teams also inspire fierce loyalties and staunch rivalries. No less spirited is the countrys oldest and most celebrated running event, the world-famous Boston Marathon, and the worlds largest two-day rowing event, the Head of the Charles Regatta.
A word of advice: when in Boston, eat as much seafood as possible. Local specialties include the sacred cod, fresh steamed lobster, oysters on the half-shell and thick, creamy chowder. You can eat seafood around the city, but especially in the fish-centered Seaport District, where its accompanied by spectacular harbor views. However, dont miss the chance to devour delectable pasta in the North End or to sample diverse Asian dishes in Chinatown. Trendy fusion restaurants draw on all of these eclectic influences to present contemporary cuisine that is uniquely Boston.
For all intents and purposes, Boston is the oldest city in America. And you can hardly walk a step on its cobblestone streets without running into a historic site. The Freedom Trail winds its way through the city, connecting 16 historically significant sites, from the countrys oldest public park to a Revolutionary War battle site. These are the very places where history unfolded, especially the events leading to the American fight for independence from Britain. Other sites remember the citys role in the abolition movement, its cultural contributions and more. In effect, Boston is an amazing outdoor history museum.
By Mara Vorhees, Writer
Boston is wicked smaaht. I love that my city is motivated not by money or politics, but by learning. The academic institutions are a source of groundbreaking ideas, creative endeavors and renewable energy, which contribute to a dynamic, forward-looking city. But not all Bostonians are innovators: some are also scholars and conservators of history. After all, this is the Cradle of Liberty and all that. So while it looks to the future, Boston also appreciates and celebrates the past, and maybe even learns from the compelling history that happened here.
