It's a city where a 5 year old boy and an 86 year old grandmother will be wearing the same Boston Red Sox hat on the T and asking the same question each and every morning- how did the Sox do last night? Baseball is not just another sport in Boston, it's part of the culture...it is Boston. That "Fever Pitch" movie was no joke. Just get used to it and leave your opposing team jerseys at home unless you want to get hit in the head with a bottle. Seriously, especially you Yankees fans.

Boston is a great city that blends its future into its storied Boston Tea Party past. Walk The Freedom Trail to step back in time for some Revolutionary history. And then you have the cosmopolitan new architecture right next to Paul Revere. Think charming New England with those lovely brownstones.

Faneuil Hall is a must. Explore the North End for "to die for" Italian... just like grandma makes.

Here are our journeyPod picks for your viewing pleasure:

Bars & Nightlife

1. Publik House: This Pub has some of the most delicious Belgium beers. Great bar food in an intimate setting. Try the Grimbergan 12. Use caution, it is a very strong beer. Located in Washington Square and near the T.

2. SOHO: $5 cover and a great dance floor in the bottom level. Young professionals flock in on the weekends. Sunday morning they offer an amazing Brunch for $15. Live music with fantastic food. SOHO is located on Market Street in Brighton.

3. Saint: Very posh with beautiful people. They have themed rooms. There is a line and cover on Thurs.-Sat. Saint is on Exeter Street in Boston.

4. Sanctuary: A few levels of pure PARTY. Young crowd packs it in starting at 11:30. Located in Faneuil Hall.

5. Tonic: No cover. Flat screen TVs, dancing, and a beautiful bar. Young professional. Tonic is located in Brighton on Commonwealth Ave.

8. Cask 'n Flagon: Since the place is across the street from Fenway, this is a perfect pre-game place. As you can imagine, the Fenway faithful pack into the the Cask two hours before the first pitch. Some have so much fun, they end up missing the game.

9. Bell in Hand: Since this is one of the oldest Bars in the USA, we had to put it on the list. Yes, for all of you Beer Drinking History buffs, there is a plaque to prove it. Located in Faneuil Hall.

10. Sunset Grill: Great food and an amazing selection of Beer. The beer menu is so thick, it could take hours to decide. More of a sit down and drink lots of beer type of place. Located in Brighton on Commonwealth Ave.

11. Sam Adams Brewery: It's Boston. It's Sam Adams. The tour is packed with facts, but most attend for the FREE Sammy that is poured after the tour. Most of the time, the Tour guide will even pour some unreleased beers. Located in the middle of nowhere in Jamaica Plain. They ask for a donation, but the tour is Free!
