Its pretty cool. I took my then GF, now wife for a long weekend. Did the whole mansion tours, harbor area, sail in the harbor thing. You can sail on America's Cup yachts and get outstanding seafood at almost any of the good restaurants. Couple of decent bars down by the harbor where we watched Mussina almost no-hit the Red Sox. Bar was 75% Red Sox fans, 25% Yankees fans. Really good place to take a chick for a couple days.
