There's tons to see in Boston. If you don't know where you want to go, I'd recommend starting at the Public Garden. It's pretty close to a lot of landmarks, including Chinatown to the south-east, the Boston Public Library to the west, and museums/historical landmarks to the north and east along the waterfront. Of course the garden has free admission, so that's a plus. The public library probably doesn't sound like much fun, but it is a really cool building with amazing murals by John Singer Sargent (also, free admission). Most of the museums and historic sites require somewhat expensive tickets to get in, but if you are into American history, you can get a lot just by walking by them (got to visit the hub of the solar-system at least once in your life, right?). If you like art, I'd also recommend visiting the Gardner Museum. Tickets are expensive, but it's a unique Boston landmark. St. Louis has a lot to offer too. Again, if you like art, the Saint Louis Art Museum is a world class establishment (with free admission). The building it is located in is also very interesting: it is a remnant from the 1904 World's Fair. Plus, there is a nice park in the surrounding area if you need fresh air. The Missouri Botanical Gardens is probably amazing at this time of year too, so I'd highly recommend it (also, the tickets aren't too expensive). Finally, if you find yourself ANYWHERE NEAR one of the two Ted Drewes Frozen Custard locations, stop by for an amazing dessert. I think a lot of especially food-driven people would be satisfied if Ted Drewes was the only place they could visit. Sorry to go on at length, but you happen to be visiting the two cities I visited most as a child. I guess I have a lot of nostalgia for both places... |

Sure thing. I hope that your visit goes well and that the weather stays under control while you're over here. Temperatures in August can be a little on the high side in both cities... |

I'm dealing with 100°F right now and we don't even have air conditioning over here. Boston's also humid, isn't it? |

You aren't completely off, though. Right now it is unusually hot for German standards. Anyway, I am prepared for high temperatures and I'm sure we'll find ways to deal with the heat. My girlfriend's been living over there for her whole life so why shouldn't I be able to deal with it for but a month? |

Out of curiosity, why did you choose to visit Boston and St. Louis? Please feel free to ignore my question if you feel it's too nosy; I don't want to be a snoop. I'm just surprised by your choices. |

My girlfriend and I met online and she lives in one of St. Louis' suburbs. We wanted to meet in a neutral place first to get accustomed to each other before we travel back to St. Louis together where I'm going to meet her friends and family. |

We briefly considered Buffalo and New York but the latter's even more expensive than Boston. Buffalo just sort of fell out of favor for no reason in particular. |

Sure thing but it won't happen this time around. Everything's already booked and my budget doesn't allow a detour like that. |

I'll be in the United States next month; in Boston, MA and St. Louis, MO to be precise.
Assuming that the majority of Gametabbers is American I figured you guys might have some suggestions in terms of places to visit and things do over there, maybe even know some hidden gems the tourist guides don't tell you about.
I'd also like to note that we'll be on a bit of a tight budget. If we do spend money it better be worth it.
Feel free to suggest cute activities for couples, too: I'll be there with my girlfriend.
