Quincy Market: Take three market buildings of questionable historic value, sandblast inside and out, re-nail a few boards, fill the place with merchant carts selling crappy souvenirs that you could find in any K-Mart for one tenth the price, add grossly overpriced pizza joints, bars, and ice cream vendors. Throw in a "meeting hall" so that every worthless politician on the planet can make like he's John Quincy minus the intellect and scruples.

Faneuil Hall: Take a market and meeting hall of historic value, sandblast inside and out, re-nail a few boards, fill the place with merchant carts selling crappy souvenirs that you could find in any K-Mart for one tenth the price, add grossly overpriced pizza joints, bars, and ice cream vendors. Throw in a "meeting hall" so that every worthless politician on the planet can make like he's John Quincy minus the intellect and scruples.

Make sure said venues are strategically placed between the ugliest (now gone, sob..) elevated highway and what is Boston's version of the Gates of Hell (City Hall Plaza) and make every effort to deter walking by laying down as many out of place cobblestones as humanly possible

To further enhance the experience, make sure the area is surrounded by out for blood cab drivers, truck drivers and otherwise sain residents of the city.

Please, do visit during the summer, preferably when the temps are in the low 90's, humidity at 100%, dew points just short of deadly and the exhaust from barely functioning cars fills the air like oatmeal.

Welcome to Boston and enjoy your stay!

Good place, too bad that ridiculous city hall is right there. Good for tourists or just somewhere to hang out on a nice day.

Nothing spectacular, but a good time. Pretty much a massive souvenior shop for Boston from what I saw. Decent but not great places to eat.

I'm a confessed Market Rat. When I worked in the Financial District, we'd pop down for lunch, drinks after work, etc. Some pretty interesting shops, and a great people watching spot. Also, great food spots from a couple of Todd English's places to fast food. There's also a comedy club upstairs in the Market that has a good schedule of local and national talent.

A very nice place to relax from the hustle and bustle of the busy city. It is not far from the financial district so if you are living in the boston area it would be a good idea to go to eat or to just shop around. And quincy market has the most greatest waitresses around there rude and funny the food is good also.

One of my favorite places to go on a summer day. There is a plethora of food eateries lined up one after another to grab a bite to eat while you stroll through all the shops. There's something for everyone there, if you are in boston i suggest you find time to go there!

I liked it. a lot of interesting people wandering around and they got some good stuff

The food was great, Beautiful buildings, amazing street performers. But it was a little too corprate. I hear that the street performers have to audition every year and only the same people get in year after year. No matter how predictable and unoriginal they are. While at the same time not allowing newer original acts perform. In not allowing them to perform they are actually killing the street arts. Who wants to see another guy on a tall unicycle anyway? But I do love it there.

I wasn't very impressed. Really touristy. On the upside, it isn't out of the way. In fact, it's hard to avoid. Take a walkthrough if you're nearby but don't get your expectations too high.

It is a pretty nice to go shopping, get something to eat, and walk around. It can get a bit expensive though.

If you are visiting Boston, by all means drop by the most lively place in this city. There are great restaurants and shops. There is music and activity in Quincy Market at vitually all times of the day.

This place is cool! It combines the old look and style of a colonial market with items that are popular today. There are street performers galore, neat shops to go in, and vendors selling everything under the sun. The food court is huge. Whatever you're feeling like eating, they probably have it. Faneuil Hall adds a little bit of a history lesson if you're interested in checking it out too. This is my favorite stop on the Freedom Trail.

Not only a nice place to go if you are a tourist because it's attractive and there are many other sites to see in the immediate area, but also a nice place to go even if you live in Boston. There are some decent bars that are right there, in the summertime they have open air concerts just across the street, and there are also some good restaurants as well. Not to mention that the street performers which are fun and the shopping in general. I'd say it's a little crowded but then hey it's a city and just about anyplace like that is going to be busy so at least go someplace decent.

Faneuil Hall is a great place to spend part of the afternoon on a nice summer day. Lots of shops, restaurants, street performers etc. From there you're just a couple of blocks from the Holocaust monument and just a few more from Little Italy.

A nice place to stroll around, get a bite to eat, or go shopping. You'll see lots of trendy people and stores.
