Cheers!

The bus driver and the guide, David, were really cool and we saw a lot of tv and movie sites. Ending the tour at the Cheers Bar was great. The bus was nice and cozy and we learned a lot about the history of Boston along the way. Great fun!

Making my biffy happy

My boyfriend is a film buff, so I got this for him the other weekend. He was skeptical, saying it'd be bull---- for tourists etc. but he ended up really enjoying himself. The tour includes a lot of stops (even living here, I didn't know half of these were filmed in Boston) and lets you do things like grab a drink at the bar from Cheers (though, they didn't know my name... bummer) or at the one from Scorsese's The Departed, which was the highlight for my bf.

In Ben Affleck's footsteps

Lots of fun for the movie enthusiastics, esp. Ben Affleck movies (I had no idea, but it seems that every other movie he's in was shot here...)
