Go to Bova's Bakery instead of Mike's. Far shorter lines and better quality cannoli.

I went to mikes and bovas. The people at bovas seem a lot nicer and it was an easier selection. In mikes they all seemed like assholes tryna rush me to buy something when I just walked in.

Good that you tried both! Mikes is just a tourist trap now with long ass lines and high prices.

I think they were only 50 cents more expensive then bovas. The line wasn’t terrible but I hated that they rushed me like that. They just have pictures of the cannolis which I didn’t like too much as bovas had the actual thing in the front.

Boston Public Market, it's near haymarket and is great for breakfast. Highly recommend union square donuts in there and it's a quick walk to a lot of the other places on your list from there.

It's all pretty good, union sq is just the big one that stands out to me. It's just a fun place to poke around, give yourself maybe like an hour for it?

Take the (free) ferry to the Encore casino, wander around briefly and then return. The view from the harbor should not be missed.

Walk the Esplanade, Common, Beacon Hill, freedom trail, or harbor walk. Go to the Gardner Museum, book tickets in advance. Visit the USS Constitution and Cassin Young. Get some seafood at Summer Shack, Barking Crab, or Eventide.
