Small (33 rooms) and fashionable hotel in near Copley Square, Charlesmark is a great tourist location on off the beaten path when it comes to the corporate hotelling industry. The lounge, a modern bar serving up martinis and specialty drinks, is a hot-spot for Bostonians and hotel guest alike.
BPL is beautiful in winter, stop in here to warm up, and check out a book!
Home to hundreds of books- all at the tip of your fingers (with two forms of ID and a utility bill will get you a card). You can reserve books via website, and pick the books up when they become available. The best part about the library- is the old part. It takes you back to a European vibe- and people are often found studying in the picture-worthy sitting room. The library was founded in 1852 as the first public library in the United States. A little know fact is a French ventriloquist named Alexandre Vattemare (aka Monsieur Alexandre) was one of the founding members of Public Library and donated books from Parisian libraries in order to persuade them to found a Boston library. To this day, it is the largest and busiest city library in the country. Don't dare keep your cell phone up or utter a decimeter over a whisper.... you'll be shunned for life. There is also a small cafe and a restaurant for food and beverage. The BPL is known for it's stunning murals painted by John Singer Sargent in the late 19th and early 20th Century. Free guided tours of the library are offered every day with the exception of Wed.
The Margaret and H.A. Rey Children's Room (named after the creators of Curious George and longtime BPL supporters) offers a great collection of kids' books and magazines, three On-line Public Access Catalogs, two Little Tikes computers for preschool children, and four Multimedia PCs, for ages 8 to 13, with Internet Access.

Automatic public toilets are the answer to the helpless cries of tourists wandering around with no place to use the restroom. The pay-by-use restrooms are handicap accessible and self cleaning, making them virtually maintenence and cost free for the city. A quarter gives you usage rights for 10 minutes, so make it snappy.

The famous Old South Church was opened in 1875 and was one of the first United Churches of Christ in Boston. Architecturally the church has gone through many faces and improvements in its Venetian Gothic style, and is one of the most highly visited churches in the city today.
Thai cuisine- that combines gentle spices and often a coconut milk, or something to off-set kick. Part of the Asain food catagory, Thai is a great alternative to your traditional General Taos- on the high end scale. For a great judge of a good dining place, it's been opened for a while on Boylston, and always draws a crowd.
