3.0 out of 5 stars
Not bad, but of mixed value,
By Debbie the Book Devourer "dletour7" (Waltham, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dog Lover's Companion to Boston: The Inside Scoop on Where to Take Your Dog (Paperback)
Any travel guide runs the risk of being dated as soon as it is published, and we have found that to be the case with this one, more than once. A couple of parks/beaches/rec areas listed here were quite overgrown, neglected, or just overrated. One beach described as lovely was down a road that was so bad we turned back (and we moved here from Utah, so we're no stranger to the bad back road!). On the other hand, we have learned of several nice dog-friendly parks in our drive-abouts and have found lots of restaurants with outdoor seating using this book as a reference. We learned from this book that dogs are allowed on the T (Boston's public transportation system) during non-rush times, but haven't tried it yet. Their hotel section was helpful but fairly incomplete, as it must be, considering the comprehensive nature of the book.
So pick it up -- it is useful -- but make sure it's not your only reference.
