Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah

Masjid
There’s one on Prospect.  Back in the day, Boston University held the largest jummu’ahs in Boston proper (b/c there were no masjids downtown large enough).  Not sure if that’s still the case.

Shopping
Quincy Market
Newberry Street
Filene’s Basement
Carousel Mall

Restaurants
Too many to name, but two I would recommend are Helmand’s (Afghan, formal) and Shwarma King (Middle Eastern, sit-in deli).

Misc
Walk the Freedom Trail
Go to Boston Commons (Duck tours!)
Definitely visit the Cambridge side (“across the river”)  

Boston and the surrounding areas are known to have a college/university or retirement home on every block, so you’ll see very few families or children, except at the parks/malls.  Some of the larger schools are worth visiting, but not so much in the winter.  It’s wicked cold these days.  [Btw, you should note that in Boston, the term “wicked” can be used as an adjective, noun, adverb, verb, etc.]

Also, the “T” is the subway system, which goes to most of these sites.  Your cousin may have a better idea of the area, I had only lived there for a year and rarely got a chance to do the tour-isty things (too busy studying/working!).
