2011 Edition. Boston is what I would like the whole United States to be, said Charles Dickens. This book covers the very best Boston has to offer, from historical sites to brand-new landmarks; from contemporary arts to funky and high-end shopping; from a buzz-worthy dining/nightclub scene to walkable Downtown Boston with its charming architecture and diverse neighborhoods. Discover what to see (with Top Picks noted), where to eat and drink, where to shop, and where to stay. Cambridge, suburbs, and excursions outside Boston are covered, too. Has handy Notes pages. 216 pages plus 11 fold-out maps.
