harvard square (cambridge), gardner museum and museum of fine arts, newbury street maybe? lived there ages ago, so maybe someone who's been there this millennia will know better.

You definitely have to check out the new ICA down by the waterfront, great building and they always have something worth looking at:

the local alt city paper just picked their 'best of boston', so you can make up your own mind about a number of things:

the local AIGA chapter:

also, the HOW conference is right about when major colleges have their graduations, so the city'll be a little nuts anyways with the tourists and the parents and the weeping and the picture taking and the throwing of tasseled hats...
You'll probably at least want to check out Harvard Square (easy to get to on the red line) and maybe the List Visual Arts Center at MIT (they always have something cool going on)

- ica sucks no offense to the ica it just hasn't done a good job at having a good amount of work versus the cost. MFA or isabella stewart still are betterIggyboo
- gardner museum are better choices for the $$$Iggyboo

I second Newbury Comics and check out a game at Fenway if you can! Rent or borrow a bike and just ride around. Best way to get around the city.
- That name seems a bit misleading to me. Are there lots of comic-ky type stuff there?Jaline
- I'm just curious, by the way. I'm sure it's a great place...Jaline

- I feel like I have to put a disclaimer everywhere...Jaline
- It's more of a music store. Shit ton of cd/dvds and all the crap that goes along with the sceneornj

@Jaline, Newbury Comics is a record store. Best in the area. Lots of vinyl, indie stuff. There's also a lot of movies, shirts, posters, toys whatever but it's not a Comic store.
- what're you talking about, the one on newbury has TONS of comicsGreedoLives
- I guess I don't pay attention to them?yaphi

I've heard of newbury comics.. rent a bike? where @_@ that's maybe funny.. :P
- boston regularly gets voted one of the most un-bike friendly cities in the US. don't do it. The roads are shitty, streets are tight, drivers are all assholes and nobody looks.GreedoLives
- tight and nobody looks. take this from someone who bikes regularly in bostonGreedoLives
- You're a bunch of pussies =) Riding in Boston is awesome.yaphi
- if you live here and know whats what, sure, for an inexperienced noob tourist, neverGreedoLives

there is some crazy little restuarant in cambridge that does these great burgers. they're huge like giant meatballs... not flat like patties at all. in fact my friend got a double and it had a knife skewered through it to hold it all together.
- Mr Bartley's, go see it before it turns into a Gap or Starbucks...GreedoLives

What ever you do, don't waste your time and money at Museum of Contemporary Art Boston. The Museum sucks, it's small with bad examples of contemporary art.
Everything on Newbury Street is cool: art galleries, fashion, restaurants, bars, etc... http://www.newbury-st.com
- have you been to the new one?GreedoLives
- Yes, the one on the waterfront, it sucks bad!!!utopian
