Synopsis
Founded nearly 400 years ago, Boston has a revolutionary history that has established the city as New England's cultural and historic capital, a tradition that continues today with its diverse mix of neighborhoods. Here you can experience American history and fresh pasta in the North End, visit the shiny new waterfront and 50-acre greenway post-Big Dig, or wander the cobblestone streets to Henry David Thoreau's house in Beacon Hill-and it's all conveniently within walking distance. Writer and photographer Robert Todd Felton gives urban trekkers an insider's guide to all that Boston has to offer-from revolutionary war battlefields to a revolutionary art museum, and from the 200-year-old Haymarket to the chic boutiques of Newbury Street. The 36 walks include trivia about architecture, local culture, and the city's rich history, plus tips on where to dine, have a drink, and shop. Detailed maps and a "Points of Interest" section that summarizes each walk's highlights.
