Quincy, MA - A Little Bit Of Everything 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 07, 2010) If you ever end up in Quincy, MA make sure you check out the Adams National Historic Park, it is a must see. I mean it is not the same fun you would have at an amusement park but it is very interesting to see the lives of John Quincy Adams. Granite Links Golf club is also very fu ...Read More n. The amenities there are very luxurious and the ground were well kept.

When i visited the city of Quincy, I learned the nickname of the city is "City Of Presidents". Almost all of the neighborhoods are gated and have tailored lawns. I know they are in the city but I didn't see many children playing outside.

I have to say that I really loved the food in Quincy. I went with some friends to Fuji 1546 Resetaurant & Bar and stuffed myself on the Asian Cuisine. The La Paloma Mexican Restaurant food was so flavorful I almost ordered another entree after finishing the first one.

The biggest and best club in Quincy was Club 58. It had an affordable cover charge ($5) and offered good drink specials. Commonwealth is another spot that came recommended, but I didn't get a chance to check it out.

The South Shore Plaza is not a mall but a big shopping center. There were not too many stores, but there were new fashions in the ones available. Read Less
