Boston - I've been a couple of times, really enjoyed but I do like American history.

1. Stayed both times near Boston Common, nice central location to everything
2. As others have said, the subway system is easy to navigate and inexpensive, use it.
3. History, walk the Freedom Trail. Starts in Boston Common...just follow the brick pavers. freedomtrail.org is a great website. 1st stop Mass State house offers a free guided tour (about 45 min), really enjoyed. Granary Burying Grounds (cemetery for Paul Revere, John Hancock, Sam Adams and the Boston Massacre 5). Old South Meeting House, Old State House, Boston Massacre Marker, Paul Revere House (you can tour, doesn't take long) and The Old North Church (several tours offered and you can book in advance) to name a few other highlights. If you walk the whole trail, it will take you all day and you probably won't be able to take it all in.
4. Walk Beacon Hill area, Boston Public Garden and the park through Commonwealth Ave for a nice stroll and a look at some fantastic old Boston homes.
5. Trinity Church, Public Library are pretty nice to visit. Both are right at the Boston Marathon Finish Line.
6. Cannoli's, head to Mike's Pastry in North End.
7. Eaten twice at Coppa Enoteca, obviously a favorite.
8. Democracy Brewing was good fun. Liked a few of the beers and food was much better than average for a tap room.
9. Unfortunately, Red Sox start the season on the road so no games at Fenway.

So much to do, so little time...
