Going to Boston for the weekend. Any recommendations on must visit photographic locations? As of now, all i m doing for sure is a couple brewery runs - but want to explore any interesting venues i can.

Would love any input.

Ah man, wish I were in town, but I'm in Illinois at the moment. I could certainly use a brewery tour.

I would also recommend going to see a Bear on the Cape, but if you'll be focused on Boston and aren't familiar I can help a bit. Let me know what you're looking for and I can try to help.

thats too bad Bohemka, I m not super familiar, but i've got a friend in town who might tag along as a guide of sorts. Gonna ask her what the plan is and go from there.

I'll take you up on that kind offer Bear, sending you a pm w/ regards to meetup possibilities

Ps: I might actually do this via Car. Anyone want to come with and wanna try to coordinate from northern NJ, I'ld be willing to pick up - lemme know. Might help make the decision.

Must Visit photographic spots?

The Customs House Tower. The 26th floor is open to visitors at 2pm every day except Fridays and inclement weather conditions. $3 donation to charity to go up. Great views of the skycrapers downtown, and the harbor.

The Bunker Hill Monument. Up 300 steps to the top, views of the skyline that few get.

Hyatt Harborside/East Boston parks. The best views of the skyline across Boston Harbor. Parking is $15 at the Hyatt, but the parks are free parking when they are open.

There is also Memorial Drive in Cambridge for a view of the skyline across the Charles river.
