Gluten Free in Boston (gf travel) Ideas

I'm heading to Boston in the near future for a trip. 
Places on the list are possible options while sightseeing...I have not been to them yet, so reviews will have to wait until my return.  The list is more for my own reference while there.  If you are going, this may also help you.
