RE: Running through Boston with Market Friday

in Market Friday2 years ago

Currently, an entrance ticket to Faneuil Hall Marketplace costs USD 5.00. Guided Faneuil Hall Marketplace tours start around USD 5.00 per person.

That is expensive. No wonder that the place was almost empty (there are only a few people on your photo). I would rather spend that (or rather even less than that) on a good lunch. And I actually did it today for $4.61 USD:
I tried Thai food for the first time in my life - #MarketFriday (2021.11.19).

I don't usually go for tours, especially guided tours. For someone visiting there, I recommend the tours, but, I grew up with Boston being less than two hours away and I had relatives living there, so it was a place that I would go to.

Most of what they tell you on the tours, I already know or have heard in twenty different ways. Generally, people that go on vacation have extra money built-in for these types of things. (I am not on vacation, so it doesn't count) The place is empty because I went when it was just closing so I could get pictures. They let me stay a few minutes later to snap a few. It is usually pretty full. That is why they have ropes. During Covid, much of this was closed and people are still not out like they used to be and people are not VACATIONING in cities. :)

That is awesome that you spent it on a nice lunch! Good for you. And Thai food is delicious! I love the spicy! Thanks for being a part of the challenge!

#MarketFriday loves you!
