My 16 year-old daughter and I are going to Boston in a couple of weeks for a family wedding. My daughter is interested in all things Celtic and in punk rock. The Celtic part should be easy to find. Are there any neighborhoods or shopping areas that feature "punk" stores, restaurants, etc.? She loved St. Mark's Place in NYC.

Thanks for any info you can give.

Try Harvard Square in Cambridge--they have some stores there that your daughter might like. They also have stores that you may enjoy as well!

By all means spend time in Harvard Square, lots of great places and one of the great people watching places. Newbery St also.
There is a Hard Rock Cafe that might appeal (I's go to Fire and Ice nearby for a meal however).
Celtics stuff is everywhere. The pro shop at the Fleet Center (formerly Boston Garden) has the best line. Also try to get into the building and look up at all the champeionship banners. Also the souvenir shops near Fenway Park have Celtic Stuff.
