Walking through Boston on an overcast summer's afternoon, I can feel the distinctly American vibe emanating from the city. This preeminent college town feels so much homier than New York, and distinctly cleaner than Philadelphia. With a personality all its own, Boston is quickly becoming one of the more memorable cities I've visited.
Boston Commons, a sprawling park in the midst of downtown, is a magnificent testament to parks and recreation. Not a few minutes away is Newbury Street, a mix of hometown charm of Mill St. in Tempe and the blatant commercialization of the Magnificent Mile in Chicago. Blend these together with one of the largest Chinatowns in the nation, plenty of bars and clubs, and downtown Boston does not leave much to be desired.
