OK heres the deal.....
Need info on hotels
car rentals ( if needed)
Ideas that works
and places to go

Schedule

March

12 NY
13 NY
14 Boston
15 Boston
16 Boston
17 Washington
18 Washington

Do you think is better to fly  ( like 300 dollars the round trip ) or to drive in any of those trajects.

not much time in each place so I need the best places to go and the best way to get tickets, or plan trips.
Optimize the time.
And where to get the best reserves

Only day booked is 15th at night when I will attend the game against Detroit.

I thank u all in advance for any help
and tps will be raining in this thread over all who help

Thanks

I have never been happy with the price I've paid for a hotel in Boston. The quality has never once matched the price tag on the room.

NY though, I've never been upset.

In NY I'd recommend sticking to Manhattan. If you have family or something there, just let them boss you around. But if you're going out with your little lady, stick to Manhattan.

I'd drive between NY and Boston, and fly from Boston to Washington.

In looking for hotels, one site I recommend is lastminutetravel.com.  If you're willing to take a hotel "site unseen", you can get some superb deals.  You basically put in how many stars you want, and the area of town, and it gives you rates.

Two hotels in Boston I highly recommend are the Colonade and the Marriot at Copley.  Both are fairly pricey, though.

The only advantages are that it's cheaper, and that you probably don't spend any more time on the road than you do between airports and in the air.  However, I do agree with Redz that a car isn't really necessary in Boston, nor in Manhattan, really.

The beauty of Boston is that you can literally walk the city.  If it's a decent day I'd walk around the Commons, the Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Newbury Street, then make your way over to the North End by game time.

If you want to squeeze some history into your stay just take a duckboat tour and they'll show you everything you need to see.

the gf says the Omni Parker is a solid bet; easy walking distance to the Garden, the common and such

agree on the Duck Tour if they are running in the winter

the freedom trail is pretty much a must do Boston thing if you're into history..

there's much to do friend, enjoy

I definitely concur with the duck tour, although Boston in mid-March could potentially be very cold.  I'd suggest bringing plenty of clothing that you can layer.

Definitely make sure you make a trip to the North End if you have time; there's great Italian food there, some of the best on the east coast.  Others can probably give you better ideas on other restaurants; I'm pretty partial to bar food, but I know it's not everyone's favorite.  If you've got the time and money for a more upscale restaurant, Top of the Hub comes highly recommended.

In NYC, if you feel like being a bit of a tourist, it might be fun to try the Carnegie Deli.  The sandwiches are crazy there, and it's sort of a landmark.  Steve Weinman is the guy to talk with concerning all things New York, though.

Agreed.  The "Under the Sea" Imax at the Aquarium is worth watching, too (the one narrated by Jim Carrey).
