Description: It's more than just a market, even if it goes by that name. Quincy Market is a shopping and dining mecca for Boston tourists, with an extensive food court as well as a number of touristy seafood restaurants and Irish pubs. Vendors with carts offer souvenirs and other wares. And retail shops like the Gap and Abercrombie will make you feel as if you never left your local mall. Despite its reputation as a tourist trap, Quincy Market can actually be quite a pleasant outdoor spot to walk around or just sit and watch all the activity, especially the talented street performers who are ubiquitous. The market is also the site of Old Faneuil Hall, the meeting place of colonists and bastion of free speech from the revolution to present times. The half-price ticket booth for Boston theater is also located here.
