Basic Information
Just put some background information here. How big the city is, which state/province/country, etc.

Transportation
The Boston area is provided with ample public transportation by the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority), whose system is affectionately known as "The T" due to the signs seen at all stations. Within the city of Boston, you'll be keen to take the subway, which is more than likely going to provide service to where you want to go. Get a refillable CharlieCard, which will make riding the subway much easier (and somewhat cheaper: rides are $2 each). Or, a LinkPass, if you're planning on staying for a while and riding often. Note that buses do not accept cash, so if you're planning on riding those, you really should get a card.

There's not really much out in the suburbs, but if you're trying to get there for some reason, you can take the Commuter Rail. There are two stations downtown: North Station, which is for all trains going north, and South Station, (you can fill in the rest). Both stations have separate rail networks with no connections, so be sure you know which station you have to go to for your destinations. Both North and South Stations provide Amtrak service, and South Station is also the city's coach bus terminal.

Maps of the subway/commuter rail system can be found in pretty much every station. If you need a detailed map of the entire MBTA system (including bus routes and schedules), they can probably be found in brochure form at most major stations.

Dining
It would probably be easiest to list this by different cuisines.

Ex.

Chinese Food

 * Restaurant Name


 * Small description of the restaurant.

Doing these particular headers add to the page's table of contents automatically and anchor the specific articles.

Italian Food
The best Italian food in Boston can be found in the North End, Boston's historically Italian neighborhood, which is located downtown. Hanover Street is the North End's main thoroughfare and is lined with many Italian restaurants, although you can find some places in the narrow side streets.
 * Pizzeria Regina, 11 1/2 Thacher St.
 * Boston's oldest pizzeria. Affordable, delicious, and filling brick oven pizza. Expect to have to wait in line outside during the busiest hours. Cash only (I think).


 * Mike's Pastry, 300 Hanover St.
 * Arguably Boston's best known pastry shop. They have a decent selection of pastries and gelato, but you really should be getting the cannoli. Cash only.
