I love Boston. When I was there last, Legal Seafood was one (actually two) of the best lunches I had.
I walked some of the north part of the Freedom Trail with my brother. It was pretty cool, though there were still a couple of things closed due to 9/11 security concerns. (I don't remember specifically which ones.)
Speaking of accessibility: the "bunker hill" monument (actually on Breed's hill, as I recall) is much like the Washington Monument in DC, but perhaps slightly smaller in scale. It has 220-some rather steep steps to get up into it, and no other means. Most able-bodied people had trouble getting to the observation deck. We hit it at a point during the day when the trek upstairs totally drained the rest of our ambition. (It didn't help that it was cloyingly humid that day, and extra warm inside the tower.)
