East Coast bound again- need advice
I am headed to the East Coast again, this time on very much of a business trip. I will fill in later the details of the business, but I will be headed back to Saugerties for a night, then to NYC for four days which the daytimes will be full up of training and then off to Boston for three days.
So I need tips on Boston primarily. Where do I go? I like markets, neighborhoods, churches, taverns, museums and such. I leave on Jan 6. Please post comments below or email me. Thanks!!

With all the trips you'e taking back east, you're not moving, are you?
Nah, nah, nah. I would love to open up some places in other cities, but that would be a long way off and unlikely for it would be difficult to manage. I would like to open a few more places locally first. A couple more on the southside and hopefully another on the north side.
Okay, here are a couple for eating and drinking in Boston.
North End: Pizzeria Regina, 11 1/2 Thacher St.. This is my favorite pizza in all the world.
Cambridge (Harvard Square): Casablanca Restaurant and Bar, 40 Brattle St. Cambridge, MA. They have giant murals on the walls depicting the characters from Casablanca. I used to go there a lot for drinks. The bar is in the back. Not a bad juke box, either.
Downtown, there's also a place called The Littlest Bar. It since has closed in the last year. It truly was the littlest bar - a claustrophobe's nightmare.
The biggest market to check out is the Haymarket. It's on the Orange line and has its own stop. www.mbta.com
I was a fan of Charlie's Kitchen in Harvard Square (kind of on the back end of the square).
Excellent Thai can be had at the Brown Sugar Cafe in the Fenway. I also loved the Cambodian food at Elephant Walk (I went to the Waltham location primarily, but there are also locations in Boston and Cambridge).
There is a sad dearth of ice cream options, which is definitely what I miss most of all about Boston. Toscanini's and Herrell's were my two favorites.
For bars, try Bukowski's or the Milky Way (I have a friend who runs a lot of events out of there still). There's always the Middle East as well.
