-- Also covers the surrounding metropolitan area and the coastal towns -- including Cape Cod
From the crooked streets of Beacon Hill to the bargains at Filene's Basement, from the historic home of Paul Revere to Boston's happening nightlife, Boston Guide has it all. Author Julie Fenster shares Boston's secrets, and reveals the diverse sights and scenes of one of America's leading travel destinations.
For visitors and residents alike, all the necessary information is here in an easy-to-access format: reviews of 40 hotels and more than 60 restaurants in Boston alone; directions to all kinds of activities, attractions, shopping venues, and sporting events; how to get around Boston's rich and diverse neighborhoods; even an amusing glossary of terms and correct Beantown pronunciation! With coverage from budget digs to elegant evenings, Boston Guide points out which lodgings are closest to the museums -- or to Fenway Park -- and which restaurants have the most romantic ambience or the best hot dog in all New England. Thematic walking tours are included for those with special interests, and for a Dublin evening this side of the Atlantic, Fenster shows readers where to find the best Irish pubs and music.
Thorough directions lead readers outside this fair city as well: to adjoining Cambridge and Brookline, colonial Concord, Lexington, Salem, and Marblehead, and to the illustrious escapes of Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod, and Nantucket. Each destination covered describes places to stay and eat, as well as a full range of activities for both day and night.
