Salem Witch Musuem

posted by rhice on 26 November 2010 at 15:04

Being totally obsessed with "The Crucible" as a teenager I couldn't pass up the chance to go to Salem when I was in Boston. I think the real stories were even more fascinating, incredible place really opens your eyes to the past.

where, when, how, web
Washington Square North, Salem, just off salem common and not far from the train station

Arthur M. Sackler Museum

posted by wanderson on 26 November 2010 at 15:03

Not just a university, when I went to visit friends at Harvard they took me to this museum and I was amazed. An excellent collection of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings from cezanne, degas, mant, picasso and van gogh surprised me! Totally unexpected and really fabulous.

where, when, how, web
485 Broadway, cambridge

Stanley Market

posted by kwillcox on 26 November 2010 at 14:33

Ok, so it's a bit touristy but what's the point of going on holiday if you can't indulge a little? It's a traditional open-air market and sells all sorts of souvenirs as well as some exquisite chinese dress items and silk garments. A great place to pick up something for all the relatives, or just for yourself.

where, when, how, web
at the far end of the island of stanley, taxis are not cheap but the easiest way to get there, for those who want to use public transport the bus will get you there in the end!

Fish Balls

posted by yratcliff on 26 November 2010 at 14:32

These are *the* snack of the city, unidentified fish sold in deep fried balls on a stick, I ate so many! Experiment with different sauces, particularly the ones that look a bit unappetising as in my experience they are the tastiest!

where, when, how, web
Sold everywhere you could possibly be hungry!

Central Plaza Clock

posted by ywilkerson on 26 November 2010 at 14:32

Our children wre totally dumbfounded that you could tell the time using a building, until we let them in on the secret code of numbers and bars that this building uses to show the city the time. And then they were obsessed with telling us the time. A great talking point!

where, when, how, web
Central Plaza, 18 harbour road, subway wan chai
