A taste of history and modern= Faneuil Hall Marketplace & Quincy Market

If you want to spend a quality weekend enjoying foods from various parts of the worldans well s well as street performance, Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Quincy Market is a good place to go.

Ever since 1742, Faneuil Hall has been a marketplace and a meeting hall for the Bostonian citizens. Samuel Adams used to gave speeches encouraging American people to get independence from Great Britain. Sometimes, it is referred as the "the Cradle of Liberty". Quincy market was constructed from 1824 to 1826 and named in honor of Mayor Josiah Quincy, who organized its construction without any tax or debt. 

You can choose from Asian snacks (Chinese, Indian cuisines) to local fresh seafoods, as well as typical American steak sandwiches in the Quincy Market food court. It's one of the most popular tourist sights in Boston, and it is usually crowded most time of the year.

Personally, I recommend the Philly Steak in the market. It's pretty big and full of tasty steak. It's not that cheesy, which I think will be more acceptable to most Chinese. But be careful, it's very HOT! I also highly recommend the delicious dessert sold in the market, ranging from sweets to chocolate dipped apples. Ever imagine that you can dip the apple with chocolate and find it even better? If you're in Boston, you've got to try it!

After a good meal, it's always good to walk along the various little boutiques along the market or watch the street performance (usually on weekends). The video below is a two-female street music group Goli performing in front of their children audience. They will be performing a lot in the Faneuil Hall in the summer time. So if you're here for the summer, go and check them out!

If you're a car fan, there is a British Car Days going on too! From June to September, on selected weekends you'll witness the vaious British old cars presented to you by the Boston Area MG Club. I used to witness one last October, it was exciting!

So, what do you say? What do you want to know more about Boston? Let's meet at Quincy market some time in the future, shall we?
