"Faneuil Hall Sure, Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market make up the most touristy part of Boston , complete with street performers, a light show, and the obligatory Yankee Candle store and Cheers restaurant; we nonetheless defy you to stay away. This part of the Boston waterfront has thrived on commerce since colonial times: Faneuil Hall was crowded with merchant’s shops as early as 1743, and the larger Quincy Market was added in 1824 to provide more space (it also was the site of speeches by Samuel Adams and other early patriot leaders). If you’re looking for a Red Sox hat or a "Boston Strong" T-shirt, you’ll find it here, along with a classic New England boiled dinner served with attitude at Durgin Park . The restaurant’s basement beer garden, the Hideout, is aptly named for the shopping widowers passing time at the bar."
