Boston in 36 Hours

Found it! The place that was doing $1 day was called 'Marliave'. I just sat at the bar on that occasion. However, on a previous trip, I did eat there with a group of friends and we all enjoyed it very much. The menu is interesting and I remember having rabbit as a main course (I think it was a loin of rabbit and rabbit sausages) then as a pud, I went for the chocolates which came in a little box. They were utterly superb!

Bretty, last time I was in Boston, I arrived at the hotel (the Omni Parker House) pretty late and decided to eat in the bar there. The lobster roll that arrived made me very glad that I did!

Cheers paul , I will endeavour to visit all of these coupled with a return visit to moo which was absolutely fantastic if a tad expensive

You've gotten the highlights, I guess this comes straight from the "I'm there three times a year for work" school of suggestions, but if you want to try something a bit different and "museum"-y, this place is interesting:

South Boston has a ton of interesting places to eat and drink at these days, but is a bit out of the way for me typically. I've recently enjoyed this place in Cambridge:

They have been under renovation but should be opening again soon. Mass Av from Harvard to Porter Square is a haven of places, to be honest, just pick what you fancy. Boston's a fun town, one of my fave places to visit, you will want to go back.
