I am taking my boy for a second opinion at Boston Children's Hospital in September. Any of you Boston folks got recommendations for restaurants to take a 13 year old mini chef to? He particularly loves seafood and/or steak. Anyone got recommendations for the best place to pick up Sox tickets (might just be their website, but not really sure) - the boy has requested to sit on the Green Monster. VRBO or air bnb recommendations? We will be arriving late 9/10 and returning home early 9/14.
What about good sightseeing spots? I know a few of the biggies, but are there local spots I should look to take him?

Get ready for a book or 2 from chiver78 and GRG a/k/a goldenrulegirl. I try to stay OUT of Boston so I am absolutely no use. Ask me anything about the North Shore and I can get you anywhere you want to go.

Thanks CCL - he was diagnosed with Crohn's a bit over a year ago - His doc is great and Stanford trained, but no one can figure out why he isn't gaining weight (he's 13.5 years old and weighs 69 lbs!). Boston Children's is rated #1 for pediatric GI disorders, so figured I make good $ so it should be spent on health and might as well go to the top. Stanford isn't far from us, but since his doc is Stanford trained I would like a different perspective. I have even conned my MD dad (he's a kidney specialist, but having another doc in the room will elevate the conversation I hope) to come to Boston for the appointment.
chiver78 and Carl I am hoping you will chime in.

Then you are definitely in going to the right place. My cousin's daughter had GI issues for about 5 years that she somehow finally outgrew, mostly, and Children's was the best place for her. They really helped them a lot.

Thanks @empressspunkles! I will definitely do whatever it takes to make sure he is getting the best treatment - health is where I have no issue spending $. I will say I found a stellar deal on flights from CA, not the perfect flight times, but $550 total for both of us round trip is a deal!

Yes, yes it is. That's a great deal. Don't forget though, you're coming in September when it is usually hotter than Hades and the body count has increased exponentially due to schools being back in session. Lots and lots of schools. The Longwood area (where Children's is) gets really congested too so you'd probably want to try to stick with public transportation although digestive issues make that a bit iffy sometimes. Don't ask how I know.
I would try for a hotel room. Right now, I don't know if VRBO or Air bnb would be useful due to the school timing. Would you be willing to go outside of town a few miles? I can't put you up at my house, 1 bathroom for 3 people with issues, NEVER gonna happen. There are a lot of hotels up Route 1 and 128/95.
Restaurants: Mario Batali opened a place in Boston: babbopizzeria.com That's all I really paid any attention to lately. The Boston Globe has a weekly section with listings of places to eat. You could check them out online. Seafood, you can find on every street corner. Literally.

Ugh. Proboards ate my post, so I'll reply in bits and pieces. I'm answering from the point of sports-loving teenage boys:
Hotel: do check Airbnb, HomeAway, TripAdvsior. Do you want to stay in Boston proper or prefer the burbs? I'm happy to give specific hotel/location advice by PM if you want to run any by me. An apartment would be nice if he might need some space to rest. Also, look at Marriott's Residence Inn, Fairfield Suites, and TownPlace Suites.
Red Sox: playing the Orioles at home from the 12th on. Tickets still available through the team website, but not for the Green Monster (those are the first to sell at the beginning of the season). You can get Green Monster seats through the legit ticket agencies StubHub and Ace Tickets but they will cost you a about $400 each.
You'll be here before the Celtics and Bruins start their preseason schedules.
Patriots will be away that weekend.
Will you have a car? The local MLS team, the New England Revolution will play New York on Saturday at Gillette Stadium (Patriot's home field and about 1 hour from downtown). If Gillette is too far or if he prefers football to soccer, check the college schedules: Boston College and Harvard stadiums are easy to get to by public transportation.
IIRC, your DS loves basketball. The Basketball Hall of Fame is about 2 hours due west on the Mass Pike (I-90).
I'll post more in a bit.

Even if you don't go to a game, or even if you do, the Red Sox give tours of Fenway for a reasonable price. Last we did it, there was a tour that not only took you up onto the green monster, but inside it too to see how the manual scoreboard works and to see the famous autographs on the inside walls. Check the team website for the schedule. It is also possible to watch pre-game batting practice for a fee, if he's into that kind of thing.

GRG a/k/a goldenrulegirl my boy is partial to basketball and baseball - great memory! We would love to find a place relatively near the hospital and/or with public transit access nearby so we could get to hospital via public transit if not staying near by. Haven't decided on a car yet but my memory of Boston last time I was there (blizzard weekend in 96 or so) was that a car wasn't really necessary based on great public transit.
As to weather - I am coming from the Sacramento Valley in California a.k.a. Hades in the summer (it was 109 not long ago) so we can take heat just fine.

hey there, I hope you'll come back again under better circumstances, and that this trip goes okay for you. sorry, I won't be much use for seafood (highly allergic) or steakhouses (not a red meat fan) other than to point you toward the national places like Fleming's, Capital Grille or McCormick & Schmick's. maybe GRG can help there. I can point you toward some amazing food that isn't seafood or steak, if your DS is feeling adventurous. for example, Darryl's Corner Bar and Kitchen has an amazing Sunday jazz brunch that I need to hit up again. haven't been in years. for Sox tickets, the club has its own reseller site - Red Sox Replay that guarantees any electronic tickets will be valid (think sellers printing multiple copies of tickets for more than one sale....I've seen it happen at other venues), or there's an Ace Ticket right in Kenmore Square around the corner. Ace tends to have crazy pricing as a legal scalper (how that's allowed, I'll never understand... ) but I think RSR has rules as to how much the tickets can be marked up, if at all. sightseeing spots. hmm.....definitely do a Duck Tour (leaves from either the Prudential Center or the Museum of Science). you can pick out places you'd like to explore more from that. if you guys are big on history, you can walk the Freedom Trail. that snakes all around downtown, through Fanueil Hall and out to Charlestown if you do the whole thing. Castle Island is beautiful, if you'll have a car. otherwise, I'd say no b/c you'd have to navigate the bus system and I don't remember which buses go out there. you could also look at a harbor cruise, you can take a sightseeing one from off of Seaport Blvd near South Station. sorry, no leads on airbnb or VRBO in town. haven't ever needed it before. if you're up for using the T, you can really stay anywhere you like in town that is T accessible - BCH is on the Green Line, D branch near the Longwood stop. it's a little bit of a walk, or you can bus/taxi it. if you stay somewhere T accessible, that really opens up the city for you. can you give us a little more detail on what sort of things you'd like to do? that might help narrow down the recommendations. was that enough of a book, @empressspunkles? ETA: ooh, wait - seafood. go check out the Union Oyster House in Faneuil Hall. it is America's oldest restaurant. just around the corner is the Green Dragon Tavern, which has some history in being a meeting/planning place for some of our country's founders. being an Irish pub/restaurant, children are allowed at least during the day when the kitchen is open.

Other activities:
Try and take a boat tour of Boston Harbor for a nice perspective of the city. They leave from Long Wharf fairly regularly.
Just over a short bridge from the TDGarden (home of the Celtics and Bruins) is Charlestown, a Boston neighborhood and home to the U.S.S. Constitiution (oldest Naval vessel?) a/k/a Old Ironsides and Bunker Hill (of "one if by land, 2 if by sea") fame. (You'll probably want to take a cab to either - they are a bit of a walk after getting into Charlestown.)
The North End of Boston is the Italian neighborhood AND home to Paul Revere's house. I suspect your DH has dietary restrictions, but if he is up to eating a lobster roll, the best in Boston are at Neptune Oyster. You can get them cold with mayo or hot with melted butter (MY preference). Mike's Pastry or Modern Pastey are the famous pastry shops in the North End for cannolis and other yummy stuff, but, honestly, I've never had a bad pastry at any North End shop.

GRG a/k/a goldenrulegirl - Lobster Rolls are his all time favorite food! (even if he isn't supposed to eat the roll per his California doctor - although diet is one of the issues we will be investigating).
chiver78 - thanks for the links to the legit resellers. Since I'm making him suffer through a medical poking and prodding I don't really mind shelling out quite a bit for tickets so he can feel like there is some fun on the trip.

We may have family driving to meet us from New York - so sunday will likely be spent doing sightseeing and Monday night baseball game. Appointment isn't until 4 pm on Tuesday - so we have the morning to sightsee as well. Loving all the suggestions.

There are all kinds of museums in, and around, Boston and Cambridge if he is up for that. We also have an Aquarium, LOL!! Cooking: Christopher Kimball of America's Test Kitchen got booted out of ATC and is opening/opened his own place called Milk Street Kitchen downtown. I'm not sure if America's Test Kitchen does tours -- right on the Cambridge Boston border. Lots of food trucks of ALL kinds of cool and creative foods can be found all over the city and along the Rose Kennedy Greenway (a new open space just west of the harbor). Also, there is a cool adult/older kid playground in South Boston that a lot of food trucks congregate at: the Lawn at D. Legal Seafoods -- one of those restaurant chains New Englanders either love or hate -- has a test kitchen in The Seaport. He might like that experience. Lots of well-know chefs and rising-star-chefs in Boston doing cool stuff. I can get some names for you -- I will get to their restaurant someday -- just not while kids with food allergies live with me. Oh, Ming Tsai has an Asian Fusion restaurant in Wellesley -- Blue Ginger -- if that's your thing. You can catch the commuter train out of the Copley Square station (just east of Kenmore Square) right to Wellelsey Center and the restaurant is a block away.

He loves Asian food because most of it is rice based or rice noodles so no dietary restrictions. He has been to Legal Seafood while on a trip with the grandparents to DC. Any names you can provide are very much appreciated GRG a/k/a goldenrulegirl

Ming Tsai, along with being a famous chef, has a son with life-threatening food allergies and so his restaurant is VERY accommodating to dietary restrictions.

A few years ago I went to a Chinese hole in the wall joint that was amazing. It was several blocks from the big hospital in Boston.

I'm trying to remember where you stayed, MJ. I know that's where we were originally all going to meet up, but then things changed and I fell asleep and couldn't even meet Malarky and GRG. and YES, Ming Tsai and Blue Ginger! I forgot the commuter rail is right there....I try to avoid Wellesley if at all possible lol... ironically enough, though - it was at BG for my birthday one year that my little sister discovered she was "part of the club" in being one of the family with a fish allergy.

Ming Tsai has a second restaurant now in the Seaport District: Blue Dragon -- in case you don't want to go out to Wellesley (which is a simple trip and a picturesque town).

Ming Tsai has a second restaurant now in the Seaport District: Blue Dragon -- in case you don't want to go out to Wellesley (which is a simple trip and a picturesque town). AKA snotty college town. But yes, Ming is VERY big on food allergy awareness. He has even done a couple of episodes of "Simply Ming" with his kids and brought up the allergy situation.
