  • Where to Go When Ya Gotta Go: the Best Public Restrooms That Boston
    Where to go when ya gotta go: The best public restrooms that Boston has to offer One of the perils of touring around a city is trying to find conveniently located bathrooms. While there is always a McDonald’s or Burger King, most fast food emporiums insist you be a customer and even then you have to request somebody to unlock the door. Regular restaurants aren’t very happy either having tourists tromp through their dining establishment. So it’s always good to know where any public restrooms are located so you can better plan your journey. As a public service, here’s a list of Boston’s better placed FREE public restrooms. The Boston Public Library on Dartmouth Street in Copley Square. Enter the main building, go by the security equipment and check-in desk, take a left before the stairs and follow the signs (which will direct you to take a right at the end of the corridor and then a left), Check out the lions guarding the elegant stairway going up to the main reading rooms. After the pressure is off, take a walk through the lovely center courtyard. Of course, if you’re lucky enough to be staying in one of Copley Square’s great hotels – like the Marriott Copley Place, Westin Copley Place, The Lenox or Fairmount Copley Plaza - you only need to go there to appreciate the architecture. Open 9 AM – 5 PM Monday-Saturday (longer during the summer) and 1 PM – 5 PM Sundays. The “New” State House on Beacon Street atop Beacon Hill.

  • E/1 Library Letter from 'The Boston U!Thenteum
    ATHE ITE e/1 Library 'The Boston Letter from u!thenteum No. 68 MARCH 1958 The Let-it-Alone Club R. SULLIVAN, in his Boston Old and New, observed that Hin one of Miss Beatrice Herford's entertaining monologues a member of the new 'Let-it­ . Alone Club' explains the purpose of its association: namely, to 'look for something which is getting along perfectly well and then,-just let it alone!'" The butcher stalls on the ground floor of Faneuil Hall are a case in point. As they have been "getting along perfectly well" for upwards of two centuries, many Bostonians feel that they are the ideal project for the "Let-it-Alone Club." Since the appearance of the last issue of A therueum Items, in which the views of the Massachusetts Histori­ cal Society, the Colonial Society of Massachusetts and the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities on this matter were summarized, two spirited and witty defenses of the butcher stalls-one in verse and the other in prose-have appeared in the Boston press. The Boston Globe published on 1 February one of Francis W. Hatch's lively bal­ lads1 entitled "In the N arne of Peter Faneuil-Beef Before Baubles." This spirited reminiscence of the delights of buying bacon, broiler, tripe and cheese in Faneuil Hall, which concluded Let tourists come, Let tourists go And carry home belief That Boston Patriots are backed By honest Yankee beef! was a few days later reprinted in the form of a handbill that has circulated widely through the city.
