4. Location: 5-10 minute walk to Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market, 10 minute walk to the shopping district (including the 'Downtown Crossing' subway station where one can catch a 10 minute subway ride to Cambridge/Harvard Square and a 15 minute ride to Fenway Park), 15 minute walk from the North End (Boston's little Italy with fantastic restaurants - I would recommend Strega on Hanover Street - a small and quaint restaurant offering an exciting atmosphere and some of the best Italian food I have ever sampled) and a 20 minute walk (5 minute cab ride) to the 'original' Cheers location (note that the bar bears little resemblance to the TV show and that there is a Cheers located closeby in Faneuil Hall).
