Fanueil Hall, Interior

It's hard to believe, but this is Fanueil Hall on a weekday. On warmer days this place is extremely crowded, but on a cold February day it offers a little warmth on a lunchtime stroll.

Fanueil Hall

A warmish late winter day near Fanueil Hall. The temperatures were in the mid- to upper 40s (about 10C). Not generally warm enough to be out without a jacket, but a pleasant change in recent temperatures.

Quincy Market

This is a shot of Quincy Market at Fanueil Hall. You can make out the sign for Durgin Park which is a famous Boston restaurant, noted for its surly wait staff, but you can get a good meal there. This area is a tourist destination and usually very crowded, with lots of things going on for the kids and plenty of places to drop a wad of cash in some of the trendy stores. The night life is noted for the twenty- and thirty-something crowds it attracts.
