I couldn't agree more - Boston is my personal favorite US city. Nothing against Harvard, it's okay, if you're there you obviously have to visit there, but personally I treasure many visits to MIT. I'm not an academic, but I really enjoyed my many visits to the MIT campus.
But then, if you appreciate art, my wife and daughters would tell you not to miss the Isabella Stewarrt Gardner museum in Boston. It's not only the art, but the story of this "moderately rich" woman of a previous age. Just a story about New York. On one of our visits we stayed in an affordable hotel in Queens. The first evening there we ate at a pizza place nearby. My wife looked around and asked "where are the Americans?" We saw people that seemed to be from all over the world there. My son answered - Mom, these are the Americans!. New York is truly cosmopolitan! On Thu, 1 Jul 2021 at 20:06, Jochen Fromm <[email protected]> wrote: > Boston is not a bad idea.
