Hi there....I am coming to Boston on Thur, this will be my first visit!!
I have free time Friday afternoon and evening and was curious the best place to get some Italian food, and perhaps shopping

Italian - Hanover Street and adjacent side streets, The North End.  Shopping - Newbury Street and Copley Place, Back Bay.  Have fun, Pray for spring.

Thank you! I will bring a bit of Summer with me

Huh? In Tree Mode, the sequence keeps changing with every new post. (New posts bump the threads to the top of the tree.)

In tree mode, the thread on stuff to do in Boston is still 3 posts down from this one.

Copley and Newbury are my favs

On Boylston...Not bad at all..
