A Prescription for Fun In Beantown This Fall

Published Online:18 Jul 2003https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.38.14.0028

Family Fun magazine named Boston the top destination for families in the Northeast because of its rich history and family-friendly sites to visit, such as the Paul Revere House, the U.S.S. Constitution, and the Museum of Science.

Boston is a treasure trove of historical sites, cultural resources, and other tourism experiences—many of which you will be able to visit when you are in town for APA’s 2003 Institute on Psychiatric Services from October 29 to November 2. The institute will be held at the Marriott Copley Place Hotel, located in Boston’s Back Bay area.

Because Boston is compact and easily traversed, you can see plenty during a brief visit. How will you make the most of your free time here? It depends on what you enjoy. While some of us may look forward to visiting Boston’s historical sites, others will prefer to find a live jazz or blues club or investigate the many bookstores. Still others may be waiting to sample the fine, multicultural restaurants or explore shopping opportunities.

For the multidimensionally oriented among us, at right in tabular form is a list of suggestions that take into account a variety of interests. Take a look at the recommendations and see where they lead you.

More information is available from the Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Center on theater, music, and dance events, nightlife, historical sites, and anything else that this article didn’t cover by calling (888) SEE-BOSTON. ▪
