10 Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market; Boston, Massachusetts
The Faneuil Hall neighborhood and its surrounding space—especially Quincy Market—is home to millions of tourists every year, who flock to the area to get a taste of Boston’s esteemed history and culture. But the food is subpar (too kitschy), the shopping is banal (too many chains), and the area is tough to navigate (too much foot traffic). And the main draw—the historical significance—is better elsewhere in town, whether it’s a visit to Paul Revere’s house in the North End or a jaunt through the historically-steeped and literally steep alleys of Beacon Hill.
