  Good poll!

  What's your favorite thing to do when you are in the city? Walk around.  I love the atmosphere.  I like to just wander somewhere and find something to do, eating or shopping usually.

  What's your favorite "Boston" event (Marathon Monday, 4th of July, St Patty's Day Parade in Southie, etc)? I like walking over to Fenway Park on opening day.  I never have tickets and am just on my lunch break, but I love to take in the atmosphere and excitement of baseball season starting.

   

  What's one Boston sight or touristy thing you've never done or visited?  Freedom trail in the North End.  I don't know why, I just never really had a reason to check that stuff out.

   

  What's the one thing you always show or take out of towners to? Boston Common.  We usually will park there then walk somewhere in that area, usually down Newbury Street.

   

  What's the most overrated attraction in the city? Cheers.  The food is the same mediocre stuff you would get at any chain burger/bar restaurant.

   

  What's the best kept secret i.e. restaurant, place to visit etc (I guess it won't be a secret anymore if you share it!)? Not really a secret, but I think the Museum of Science is awesome.  They are open late on Friday nights so sometimes DH and I will go for a date night to the exhibit hall, then an Omni movie.  Dorky fun

  What's your favorite "Boston" event (Marathon Monday, 4th of July, St Patty's Day Parade in Southie, etc)? Hmm, I don't think I have one.

   

  What's one Boston sight or touristy thing you've never done or visited? Freedom Trail for me too.  However, I'm pretty sure I've seen pretty much everything on the Freedom Trail, just on separate visits to the sites and not all as one walking tour.

   

  What's the one thing you always show or take out of towners to? Totally depends on what they're into, but for new people I often recommend the Duck Tour or the Freedom Trail. 

   

  What's the most overrated attraction in the city?  I agree with Cheers.  It's not even cool to look at, never mind eating.

   

  What's the best kept secret i.e. restaurant, place to visit etc (I guess it won't be a secret anymore if you share it!)? Mmm...maybe Mt. Auburn Cemetary in the fall if they're into leaf peeping.

  I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball
