Have You Been Here? Write about it!

Quincy Market, one of Boston's most popular tourist sites, has actually been a place for busy Bostonian's to gather for more than 250 years. Full of shops and dining establishments, the market which is also known as Faneuil Hall Marketplace, is always a hubbub of activity.

 

Consisting of three beautifully restored 19th century buildings and lined with cobblestone paths, the market is a great place for families to visit, not only for shopping and dining, but to also enjoy a plethora of wonderful street entertainment, from jugglers and mimes to choral groups and jazz musicians.

But if you've come to shop, you won't be disappointed. With more than 100 stores and pushcarts, Quincy Market offers something for everyone from designer duds to kids toys and games to the best that local artisans have to offer.

Hungry kids and their parents will be well-nourished at this busy marketplace that boasts nearly two dozen "sit-down" restaurants and pubs including Sam's Cafe at Cheers.

 

The food court area features more than 40 eateries that serve everything from German sausages to pizza to overstuffed deli sandwiches. There's sure to be something for everyone, even the pickiest eater.
