Book description
Our author, a longtime resident of Boston's North End, hits all the
highlights, from Fenway Park to the Freedom Trail. She's checked out the
city's best hotels and restaurants in person, and offers authoritative,
candid reviews that will help you find the choices that suit your tastes
and budget.
Inside you'll find:
• Insider advice on experiencing the best of Boston
without breaking the bank. Our author will point you to free or
reduced-cost entry times at the top museums, the best spots for a
picnic or a stroll, dirt-cheap college concerts and shows--and even
free concerts by professional orchestras.
• Where to find the freshest seafood, the most elegant
spots for afternoon tea, the tastiest dim sum in Chinatown, and the
best cannoli in the North End.
• Up-to-the-minute coverage of shopping and nightlife,
from the artsy boutiques on Newbury Street to the lively and chaotic
college bars & clubs in Allston.
• In-depth coverage of Cambridge
• Detailed walking tours; accurate neighborhood maps; and
advice on planning a successful family vacation
• Side trips to Lexington, Concord, Plymouth, and the
North Shore.

recommendations. Our expert writers are passionate about their
destinations--they tell it like it is in an engaging and helpful way.
• Exact prices listed for every establishment and
activity--no other guides offer such detailed, candid reviews of
hotels and restaurants. We include the very best, but also emphasize
moderately priced choices for real people.
• User-friendly features including star ratings and
special icons to point readers to great finds, excellent values,
insider tips, best bets for kids, special moments, and overrated
experiences.
