The State Street Smoke Shop is a small cigar and cigarette shop on State Street, near the Financial District. They have a small variety of cigars, cigarettes, magazines, and greeting cards, as well as a small selection of fairly nice wine. It is a tiny storefront, but very convenient for all the office workers in the area.
The staff is not rude, but not exactly friendly. That is the downside to this store. I'd rather buy my wine somewhere where people are a bit kinder.
The convenience of the store is its biggest asset. I believe it is one of the only stores in the area that sells cigars, and they have some decent ones. But I would prefer to spend my money elsewhere.

The Boston Common Frog Pond is a great resource for the city of Boston. In the winter, you can enjoy a nice winter day of skating. In the summer, you can sit by the reflecting pool and catch some rays.

All right, the main attraction here is obviously the bowling. However, if you're unwilling to wait for hours for a lane, then it's still not a bad place to relax and mingle. There's usually a live band, a great drink selection, pool, and cool people.
Indeed, the place gets crowded fast, so if you really do want to bowl, make sure you get here early. Otherwise, you could easily find yourself waiting until closing time on a busy night.

At 2500 sq. ft, the Children's museum is not that large. However, each sq. ft is packed with hangs-on activities.
My favorite activity was the Japanese house, which illustrated Japanese customs.
An interesting part of the museum is definitely the recycle center where you can purchase stuff that was made from recycled materials.
There is a pretty big museum shop in the Children's museum too.

This store mainly deals with camping stuff and outdoor supplies, but they are really cheap and very knowledgable about a lot of stuff. I consider myself to be a very inexperience hiker or outdoors woman, so I was moderately overwhelmed at the supplies necessary. But, the staff was very helpful and even gave me a discount. I got my sleeping bag here for 9 dollars, which I think is ridiculously inexpensive.

This art Gallery was not really my style, some pieces I liked but many just didn't suit the design that I have in my home. Again it depends on what you like, you may find that these paintings suit your home. Take a look at their website, it seems like they have exhibits often, so take a look.

I was buying a tent and they let me pitch some tents so I could sit in them and look at them. The staff give you their honest opinions about products so I got the feeling they were talking from experience when I asked for help about things. These outdoor co-op stores always seem to have almost a cult-ish sense to them though. So much equipment you can buy that you never even knew you needed.

More
Dreams of Freedom is Boston's immigration museum located right inside the heart of Boston Downtown. The museum features interactive exhibits, talking walls, moving gang planks, personal artifacts as well as a 22-minute multimedia movie that chronicles Boston’s 400 years of immigration history. It is such a nice adventure to go back in time to see the immigrants in the early years of the great city of Boston.
