I am taking DD17 to visit a couple colleges in NY and Boston in July and would really appreciate some help planning. She loves museums and history, especially the revolutionary time, so the Freedom Trail is a definite must do. Any other suggestions for Boston or places to visit between there and NY? Mansions and nature are not really her vibe, but I'm considering a ferry to P-town or stop in Mystic or New Haven (mostly bc I've never been to any of them!) Any suggestions for areas to stay, tourist traps, or hidden gems are welcome!
We've been to NY a couple times and will definitely spend a few days there before flying back to TX. I'd prefer to avoid renting a car and use Lyft/Taxis, ferry or trains when possible. Amtrak from Boston or New Haven to Penn Station seems like a viable option, but is unchartered territory for us as well. Any tips for routes, tickets, or pitfalls to avoid? Also, if we decide to visit Clark University in Worcester, would you suggest taking the train from Boston or should we just rent a car? Thanks everyone!
