First time guest to Boston...?
I am going by myself for 3 days in december, but i do enjoy some friends out there. So far, im planning on going to the Celtics spectator sport and the Patriots game. I will be staying at the Park Plaza downtown, and I be wondering what are some of the cooler things the city has to proffer? Besides Newburry St., Fenway, or Beacon Hill. Im 23, into sports and history, so can you guys please help me out? direct me a lil bit? I would to some extent do some local things than touristy things, thanks guys!

Agree roughly the North End, I love to just suspend out there contained by the evening.
The freedom trail tour offers a pub edition of the freedom trail tour - drink where your forefathers did. I ponder the URL is www.freedomtrail.org?
You can try and take the Fenway park tour, after adjectives it is America's most beloved ball park - newly ask Dr. Charles. Not sure they do the tour year round. Go to the Souvenir store across from Fenway to get the tour. If they don't, you can other buy your Red Sox world championship gear and consequently go jamboree on Landsdown Street.

I really savour the North End, where the "Italian" neighborhood is. Great restaurants and stuff. It's worth it to drink a meal.
I'm a Chicago architect and I love Boston. Since you similar to history may I suggest some architectural and historical sites.
Overall Boston is a fascinating of historical and modern architecture. Where these clash within many cities they overall work in good health together here. One favorite example is Copley Square with Rochardson's Romanesque Trinity Cathedral and IM Pei's in the vicinity John Hancock Tower visually and elegantly adjectives into the plaza vista like a 70-story chalice knife.
Faneuil Hall Marketplace on the waterfront is a nice buzz of shops and restaurants among historic architecture. I intuitively like in the vicinity Boston City Hall though I know some out there will frown on this.
Harvard and MIT enjoy great scenery and goings on. And no trip nearby is complete without wandering Beacon Hill and seeing Old North Church. Tourusty, yes but worth it, and not really that crowded.
Regardless of your religion the Christian Science Complex is a exhilarating place, also by IM Pei. And again a great blend of a traditional looking church nestled contained by a modern complex.
Sports, let's face it -- what Boston nouns team ISN'T doing okay right now. From what little I know 'bout sports.
Trying to read a map will intimadate you as the downtown is a 'hub' of medieval close to streets, but oh so beautiful. As for directions you'll receive used to the visual cues and landmark. Then the map will make more sense.
Have a great trip!
