Boston recommendations

I am thinking of doing a weekend in Boston with DH - a Boston/Yankee game, dinner, shopping, etc.

Any recommendations on hotels, sights to see, restaurants, etc.? I have never been and don't know much about the area. TIA

Re: Boston recommendations

Boston's great!

Food -- the North End of the city has good Italian restaurants. Faneuil Hall has loads of stores and restaurants. Think South Street Seaport without the seaport. Lots of bars all around town.

Things to do -- Lots of historical things in the city. I think you can follow the Freedom Trail between sites. Cambridge/Harvard Square is neat, too. Boston Common & public garden area, Museum of Fine Arts...You can also go outside of Boston to Salem or the Cape, too.
