Hey guys, I plan on making a really small trip up to Boston sometime in the upcoming weeks. I live in NYC, so the bus ride will only take about four hours, so I plan on leaving in the morning, and then I staying someplace for the night, and then leaving the next evening. I want to see the museums, the aquarium, the skywalk in the Prudential Center, and I'd love to try out the food. Can you guys please recommend the optimal place to stay (money is not an issue), and please add any other suggestions to where I should check out! Thank you so much.

Jury's Boston for hotel, and a visit to the Skywalk and brunch or dinner at the Top of the Hub to get a bird's eye view of the city to start with. More ideas later!

I'd go with that first suggestion for food. Top of the Hub is really overpriced. I don't mind spending a fair amount for food, but I do require that it not suck. They do have good drinks and desserts though.

If money is truly no problem...

Hotel: Liberty Hotel, convenient location right near Beacon Hill, great view of the Charles River, neat atmosphere/design, fancy bars.

Restaurant: Radius, L'espalier, Aujourd'hui, Oleana, Sorellina, Hammersly's...all five-star, super-fancy.

Sightseeing: ICA, Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum, MFA. The Aquarium is a nice way to spend the afternoon, and the whale watches are great (but you might not have the time).
