State Street
State Street is a great place to walk around in Boston, where you can check out the local bar scene at some of the most well-known Irish bars in town like Kitty O'Shea's, or visit historical locations such as the Boston Massacre Site. It was originally called The Bloody Massacre, and there's a marker on the street at Devonshire Street that indicates where it all happened. In case you didn't know, Crispus Attucks earned his fame by being the first person killed in the Massacre.
"On March 5, 1770, in front of the Old State House, five men were shot and killed out of a mob that attacked a group of British Soldiers. In the excited state of the public mind at that time, a chance encounter between a sentry and some youths quickly developed into an attack with stones, clubs, and snowballs, which led to retaliation by the soldiers. The result was the death of five individuals."
