With today's exchange rate, nothing is really worth buying in the states unless you already own US dollars. Depending on how long you'd stay outside of the country, your limit varies from $250 to $750 with the exception of tabacco and alcohol. Check CCRA website for details (for God sake, just google it!) From my experience, the Canada Custom checks a lot frequently since 9-11, so watch out and get rid of the tags and original packaging.

A few interesting spots:
Boston common/public garden,
Cambridge (yeah Harvard and MIT),
Cape Cod is really not that interesting if you don't have a cottage down there,
And I don't think you'd have much time visiting museums, however if you do, make sure to check out the Museum of Fine Arts , they carry a large selection of Paul Cézanne's paintings. :)

p.s. buy your alcohol in NH on your way back, it's just on the side of the highway.
 
Hi, I plan to visit some friends in Boston area. I would also
like to do some shopping there. Just wonder what's worth buying in the states ( I heard that NH doesn't have any sale tax). Regarding this, what's the duty free limit for returning Canada. Does Canada custom really check your car or just trust whatever you claim?

BTW, what's the recommendation for sight seeing in Boston area? Right now I have some museums, cape Cod, Univ (Harvard and MIT campus) on my list. What else?

Thanks.

Nothing to buy there.
 
是自己开车去还是跟团去?什么时候去呢?如果是自己开车去,我也想去,可以分摊路费。谢谢。
 
I have been in Boston for about half a year.
I suggest you to go to Boston aquarium and take a whale watch cruise.
Furthermore, make sure to go to China Town in Boston. Three big robsters only cost you
$10 in most of restaurants there
