First Trip to Fenway - Any Tips?

[icollectDCsports]

Definitely go on the Fenway Park tour. Your tour guide tells you a lot of cool history and anecdotes as you walk throughout the stadium and on the field next to the Monstah.

Other stuff to do in Boston: Walk / take a tour of the Freedom Trail. Visit the U.S.S. Constitution.

Great suggestions so far. If you are a fan of Italian food, visit the North End of Boston. Pretty much any restaurant you choose will be worth it. Panza and Al Dente are two of the best. Tours of Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library (both in Copley Square, about ten minutes from ballpark) are great, lesser known attractions.

There are also Duck Tours that leave from Huntington Ave/Copley by the Prudential Building. These cover most of the city as well as into the Charles River.

Best of luck, you will have a blast!

You can wear your Yankees cap I see a few hundred minimum whenever I go.

Visit the Union Oyster Bar in downtown Boston if you like oysters and great clam chowder.

The Union Oyster Bar I believe is the oldest restaurant in the US if I'm not mistaken.

If you like great cannolis, try Mike's Pastry a few blocks away from Union Oyster. So many varieties to choose from and they are amazing.

Damn boy, it's chowdah!!!! If you don't know how to say it you don't deserve to eat it.

It is located in the area called Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall aka the place to send every tourist as the locals don't go there.

As for Fenway - every guy has to pee in the troughs. Almost part of the experience.

About a mile west of Kenmore Square, just past Boston University, you can see the remnainder of Brave's Field. Just after Harry Agganis Arena you take the right down Harry Agganis Way and the former offices/ticket booths are about 200 feet down on the left. If you can get into Nickerson Field in behind, you may have to go around to the other side, the stands are the center field/left field stands.
