BOSTON
Only an hour away from The Villages on Mount Hope Bay, Boston is one of the country's foremost cities for cultural events, sports, dining and shopping.

For shopping, Newbury Street, Copley Place Mall and the Prudential Center offer an array of stores and boutiques. You'll find everything from Talbots to Gucci, Trident Booksellers to Barnes & Noble, and furniture and art galleries galore.

When looking for a bite to eat, Boston has just about everything. For seafood, drop by Legal Seafood or the Summer Shack. On a weekend, enjoy dim sum in Chinatown before exploring Boston's Freedom Trail. Or have dinner at one of Boston's best Italian restaurants in the North End before seeing a play in the Theatre District or enjoying a concert at the world renowned Symphony Hall.

Universities such as MIT, Harvard, Tufts, Brandeis, Boston University, and Boston College all attract cultural and political figures from around the world.

Sports fans can see baseball games at legendary Fenway Park or watch the three-time Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in nearby Foxborough, MA.

Whatever you're looking for, Boston is the perfect place to spend a night or a weekend on the town.
