Description
Beyond the well-trod paths to Harvard Square and the Public Gardens, Boston is rich with hidden sights that few travelers ever know about. This guide lifts the lid off secluded historic sites, small art galleries, out-of-the-way eateries, and obscure museums. From the best lime rickeys and the gravestone that inspired Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter to Boston's legendary folk music scene and authentic Venetian gondolas, seasoned locals and weekend visitors alike will find something new and delightful in Beantown.
