Reply to Are there any places/activities in Boston that are underrated because they are typically associated with tourists or being touristy? by MrMadLeprechaun
I have never waited longer than 20 minutes in line at Mike's Pastry, and even that might have only been on like the 4th of July or something.
Don't let the throng of tourists scare you. The people behind the counter are unbelievably efficient, and the cannolis are more than worth it.
Also, the Public Gardens are prettier and cleaner than the Common, which draws a lot of crowds. Go anyway. Take your time. Do the swan boats. Sit on the Good Will Hunting bench. It really is a singularly beautiful spot.

Plus you'll still get the real Boston experience: harried MGH employees trying to get to work!
