    Im living in Canada right now and im going on a trip to Boston and NYC for a week.
    Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do in Boston for 2 days/2 nights?
    Also any good hostels?
    I have a place to stay in New York so just need somewhere for Boston.
    Also what bus company should I use?
    Daily budget ideas would be good too!

    Hi Hostel in Boston is really handy location and nice hostel, however you can expect pretty much no customer service, staff couldn't even tell me good local pubs :confused: Nice and cheap though and some good bars nearby.

    The Aquarium in Boston is pretty cool! It's a small city so easy to see a lot of it in a few days. Can go to Harvard, do a Duck Tour of the City, Faneuil marketplace has amazing food. Good pubs around that area too.

    And you have to try the Boston Clam Chowda :) I recommend Sissy K`s! We used Greyhound Bus I think.

    Second the aquarium. There are some great restaurants too. I stayed in the YMCA in Symphony, and I have to say, it was cheap, clean, pleasant and well located. Nightlife was good too.

    New York I didn't find so great. Greenwich Village is definitely worth an afternoon, as is the military museum on the aircraft carrier.

    Skywalk Observatory for good views of the city but if your goin to New York might just want to skip it and go to the Empire state building instead....

    $15 one way ticket from boston to new york on a bus from chinatown.
