I am looking for something off the beaten track, suprising, exciting, could be an attraction, a bar, whatever!

It totally depends on what time of year you are going. Here's a couple things you can do all year round. I've lived in Boston my entire life. I'm 27. I suggest checking out some of the many awesome Irish Pubs like Black Rose. Coogans Bluff and Tiernans are also good and they are all in the Fanuiel Hall area. Also you can go to the top of the Prudential Center (Back Bay area). It is open to the public for a small fee. They have a viewing deck and you can see the entire city including right into Fenway Park. It is amazing because you see parts of the city that are hundreds of years old sharing space with modern ski scrapers. Last, but certainly not least, go to dinner in the North End (Cantina Italiana maybe) for the best Italian food ever, then for dessert in the North End go to Modern Pastry for cappucino and dessert that will blow your mind. Tourists all go to Mike's Pastry, they just don't know better. Enjoy!

Depends on the time of year, but if you're going soon check out a Red Sox game! Or tour Fenway Park. Check out Quincy Market- there's TONS of bars and dining in the area. Make sure to try and check out some theater, or The Blue Man Group at the Charles Playhouse.

wow nobody was very helpful to you at all, when you arrive in boston depending on the days you are here you may be able to pick up tickets (probably have to pay more due to selling out way in advance but there are scalpers) to whatever sporting event is going on at the time. definately check out boston commons, visit the cask & flagon (bar) do some shopping or people watching at fanueil hall (lots of food too) there is an aquarium, musuem of science is fun for all (they have laser shows at night set to music metallica pink floyd, etc) there is cheers bar but thats way overrated there are lots of colleges in the city so there is a great night life definately check out lansdown street many clubs and sportsbars on one strip. enjoy your trip. ......ps......double check what is allowed on planes before you come too make your life easier..we are finally getting strict.

If you have never been to Blue Man Group try it. Small venue of about 550 all seats are good. Charles Playhouse.
Pour House bar on Boylston St, good cheap food and drinks and lots of people. They always have the Red Sox on.
Climb Bunker Hill Monument

Go to Cheers, (TV show, yes) honestly. A great place for a pint, right downtown, and just off Boston Commons (very historical). It's really not "touristy" and is in a beautiful part of the city.

The Pi Alley deli on the corner of State and Washington, behind One Boston Place has the best shish kebab in the world. Its only open for lunch.
But if I were you I would go to Cape Cod.
