yes, a tour of Fenway park is definitely worthwhile. And there are a couple of really good restaurants in the neighborhood now, if you want lunch or dinner near Fenway. Check out Great Bay seafood in the Commonwealth Hotel in Kenmore Square. Or Petit Robert Bistro, which is run by the former chef of Maison Robert (which was a long existing top restaurant in Boston).
In Faneuil Hall, I also really like Rustic Kitchen. Kingfish Hall is interesting and a little different. If you go there, and sit upstairs, ask the waiter if the tables really rotate. You might get them to give you a spin (it has to be done manually. Originally they were going to put the tables on very slow turntables, but apparently gave up on that idea).
If you want something a little elegant, you might try Sel De La Terre. It's closer to the waterfront, not right in Faneuil Hall.

Good suggestions China cat. Sel de Terreis half owned by the chef/owner of ëspalier" and the food at Sel is Provencal. I'm off Sunday to the Petite Bistro. I'm not a baseball fan so I never think of suggesting a tour.

cigalechanta, I've noticed before that we have similar taste in area restaurants. Let me know how you like Petit Bistro. I haven't tried it yet. but as I do love baseball, and also eating food that is better than ballpark hotdogs, I'm always interested in new places in the Fenway area.

You'll probably find yourself at Downtown Crossing in Boston (Washington St. area) at one point or another. If you're looking for some good, cheap, quick food, there's a great Chilean takeout place (with a few tables on the busy, less than attractive sidewalk area) called Chacarero (http://www.chacarero.com) - good food and cheap. If you get there around noontime, be prepared to wait (as the bankers flock to the place.)
For Fanueil Hall, Durgin Park is good. Union Oyster House is decent. You could also hit Legal Seafood (right next to the Aquarium.) Boston is such a small city that you'll probably pass just about all of them whether you know it or not.
