City Hall Plaza

If you're here for Outside the Box don't be stupid and get the lobster "hot dog " from the Scampo tent. It's worth any line you might have.

City Hall Plaza in Boston, Massachusetts, is a large, open, unadorned public space in the Government Center area of the city .

Play Ring on a String! I recommend the one on the left.

The plaza had a fountain once near the JFK building. The area was covered with plywood and 2X6's and then paved to make it level. Check out historical Google Earth images. Would b neat 2 see old pics.

Come to the annual Boston Harborfest this July 4th to relive American colonial and maritime history. While there, check out this photo of the US Navy marching in and around the City Hall Plaza! Read more

Home to seasonal events , political demonstrations, and a farmers market , this revamped public space has a lot to offer.

Spend your days here in the summer - from the Jimmy Fund Scooperbowl to the Phantom Gourmet BBQ Beach Party , local festivals and events find a home on this big, open plaza .

Always a good choice to wander over during your lunch break and see if there's anything cool (and free!) going on.

City Hall was voted in 2008 via Virtualtourist as the UGLIEST BUILDING IN THE WORD. Original design intended to have a beer hall inside similar to those in Germany. More info via our blog.<LINK> Read more

I remember all the traffic rotaries in Boston which can make driving through intersections quite interesting! The historical US Navy ship Old Ironsides was a great site to visit.

Great open air space in downtown Boston. Check for events and concerts .

Either you like it or you don't part of town . To some it is a model of innovation whereas to others it is simply ugly.

Compare this brutal building to 2 others- the old state house (used as city hall in 1830) and Old City Hall (1840) on the freedom trail .

Only for the biggest brick connoisseur. This Plaza has hundreds.

The actual City Hall is ugly as sin or bold as hell. Either way, the plaza outside has free WiFi . Read more

The Boston Winter section is a must visit.

The empty expanse is livened up by free concerts sponsored by the city on summer Wednesday evenings. Read more

Best joke re city hall -"it looks like the box Faneuil Hall came in"
