Book Description

Neighborhood Series May 1, 2001
If a bowl of clam chowder is not your idea of an adventurous ethnic dining experience, hop on the T and discover thirteen of Boston's incredible ethnic neighborhoods.

Boston is steeped in history and tradition. It is also a melting pot, where generations of immigrant cultures mingle. Lynda Morgenroth, a Boston-based writer and longtime resident, leads you on artfully crafted walking tours that will let you discover the diverse neighborhoods created by the interweaving of people. Sample authentic Korean and Portuguese dishes plus eighteen other ethnic cuisines. Navigate like a native through Russian groceries and Latin bodegas. Visit Chinese herbalists and become well-versed in local history and architecture.

Hidden treasures await you in neighborhoods such as The North End, where pasta and the pastry are multilayered; Little Armenia, where a gourmet Armenian grocery is also the neighborhood gathering place; Dudley Square, where you'll find limbo pies, a Victorian bus station, and majestic murals in unlikely places.


Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Is this a travel book or a food book? Morgenroth, a regular contributor to the Boston Globe's Calendar section, knows that when it comes to Boston it is a mistake to separate the two. Whisking the reader through 13 neighborhoods, Morgenroth points out the best restaurants and the most exotic shops while providing a smattering of history and concise walking and driving directions. The glossary alone is a gastronomical education. The focus is definitely the hidden ethnic treasures and not the tourist sites. If you want to know the hours for the New England Aquarium or when the swan boats run in the Public Garden, this book is not for you. But if you want to know where to buy moon cakes in Chinatown or pupusas in Jamaica Plain, no other guidebook to Boston provides this kind of information in this much detail. Recommended for public libraries and Bostonians who wonder what lies beyond the next block. Thomas O'Connell, Eastern Connecticut State Univ., Willimantic

5.0 out of 5 stars For the true urban explorer, August 14, 2001
This review is from: Boston Neighborhoods: A Food Lover's Walking, Eating, and Shopping Guide to Ethnic Enclaves in and around Boston (Paperback)
Ms. Morgenroth has truly explored the Boston area to offer this cornucopia of choices of restaurants, markets, and shops in ethnic areas of the city and its surrounding areas. She explores such diverse areas as the North End and Coolidge Corner and even makes forays to lesser-known places such as Watertown's Little Armenia and East Cambridge. A must for the urban walking tour enthusiast or anyone who enjoys ethnic food and experiencing the beautiful city of Boston. The only guide to the city that truly takes one beyond the historic sites, museums, and affluent districts to unveil the true city. Highly recommended for the "off the beaten path" traveller or the Bostonian who wishes to discover more of their city.
