Hi there!
I live in the city.
I've only been on one haunted tour, the Ghosts and Gravestones Tour which is operated by Old Town Trolley. I haven't been on it since it first started, a few years back, but it was enjoyable. Mind blowing? No but I think it would be interesting for someone who has never been to Boston before and is interested in spooky history.
A few of my family members recently went on a food tour in the North End and had a great time. The tour goes to a popular bakery, italian store, and pizza place and then you go to the tour guide's mom's (grammar?) house for a meal which my mom really got a kick out of (perhaps because it was like she was at her grandmother's house all over again)
https://northendbostontour.com/ Aside from mama's house, you could do this tour on your own pretty easily (I can tell you where the tour goes and what they give you, if you'd like!)
My favorite bakery in the North End is Bova's. It's open 24/7. and it's not nearly as crazy as the more popular bakeries, modern and mike's. At Faneuil, I love the banana pudding at Magnolia Bakery which yes, is a NYC thing, but it's still delicious.
I've hosted a bridal tea at the Boston Public library and thought it was lovely. It's beautiful without being stuffy. They have afternoon tea every Wed-Sunday.
https://www.librarytea.com/courtyard I think you could fit that in on day 2 at least!
Just thought of one more thing, there also some shopping in Downtown Crossing (and easy walk from both the Public Garden and/or Faneuil. There's a store called Primark which is primarly located in the UK, has only a couple locations here in the US, it's 4 or 5 floors of budget friendly/fast fashion clothes. This may seem like a dream or a nightmare to you lol not sure which but I thought maybe your daughter would be into it since you have Newbury Street on your itinerary. (I happen to love it there but I also have a slight shopping addiction. :c) )
