'Boston is technically higher up then Montreal so its COLD.'
what? montreal is about 300 miles north of boston.but yeah, it'll be cold, and boston is a great walking city, so it's not the optimal time to visit. fall really is the time to come...

good resource
go see the ICA, lovely building; if it gets cold enough, you can watch the ocean get all sloshy:

and then walk over to the barking crab, they have a nice coal-fired oven where they roast chestnuts and will fill you with all manners of liquors:

james hook is just over the bridge, it recently burned down, but they do have a temporary set-up. you can walk in and look at their lobster and crab tanks, they have the biggest lobsters you will ever see on display:

the city proper is mostly old stuffy white people or college students. it's a very racially segregated city.

Boston is certainly more cleaner than NYC, and the people are friendlier.

Totallty a racially segregated city. I love the place but there's a lot of douche college kids. Also its windy as all hell in the winter so its wicked cold.

i don't really know what you're trying to experience, but why not go to the new england aquarium? yeah, it's an expensive tourist trap, but it's actually a pretty amazing place, with a huge central tank around which a spiral walkway winds its way up, you can play with penguins, and, if nothing else, you can stare at the harbor seals in the big tank out front for free.
Incidentally, it's just down the street from james hook and the ICA. There's your walking tour all sorted.
