Cradle of Liberty

Realistically you're out of the terminal, bags in hand, and on the road by ~2:45. Logan-to-downtown can be twenty minutes or fifty depending on the tunnel — plan for the worse.

Aim for the 75 State Street Garage or Government Center Garage — both put you within a two-block flat walk of Faneuil Hall. Don't try to street-park downtown.

The "Cradle of Liberty" — site of revolutionary-era town meetings. The Great Hall is upstairs but there's an elevator. NPS rangers give short talks every half hour. Free.

Right next door. Long flat hall, plenty of benches, food and snack stalls if anyone needs a pick-me-up. Easy to dip in for twenty minutes without committing.

Cross the Rose Kennedy Greenway — flat park strip, benches every block — into the North End. The Paul Revere statue and Old North Church ("one if by land, two if by sea") are short blocks apart. The church interior is small and accessible: a single step at the entrance, then flat. Donation entry, ~15 minutes.

19 North Square — the actual 1680 home where Revere lived during the Revolution, and the oldest house in downtown Boston. Small museum, ~30 minutes inside. Recent renovations made it fully accessible: courtyard ramps to the first floor and a lift to the second (Mary, you can see all of it now). Modest admission. Hours & tickets.

One block over: Mike's Pastry or Modern Pastry for cannoli to-go. (Modern is the local favorite; Mike's is the famous one with the line.) Skipping a sit-down here — dinner is in Marblehead tonight.

Back to the garage. Wednesday rush is tapering by 6 — figure ~30 minutes via Route 1A and the Tobin Bridge, or up I-93 to Route 1. You're checking into the Ebenezer Hawke House around 6:45, with time to put feet up before dinner.

Three good picks within five minutes of the inn — all work for Tammy (vegetarian) and Mary (no seafood). Whoever's least tired by 6 PM should call to book a table.
