111 places

"Keepers of the old and the new. Bostonians are a proud people, and rightly so. Proud of their city and all it represents to the history and very foundation of the United States. Proud of their many ethnic heritages, new and old -- and especially their food. Proud of their intellectual and cultural contributions to humankind. And, of course, proud of their badass sports teams. 111 Places in Boston That You Must Not Miss will lead you to many offbeat, unexpected, and completely fascinating facets of Boston to find treasures both delightful and surprising. This guidebook is the perfect companion for newcomers, frequent visitors, and lifelong Bostonians too, who wish to explore their city beyond the deeply trodden paths. No matter how well you think you know it, Boston still has countless stories to share with you. Stand in the spot where fermented molasses flooded the streets, killing 21 people, or where a straightjacketed Harry Houdini jumped into a chilly Charles River -- and escaped. Discover why there's a statue of a donkey in front of Old City Hall. Learn about the very first casualties of the American Revolution. And enjoy a romantic dinner at the table where JFK dined with Jackie. So put on your Red Sox cap, hop on the T, and uncover all the exciting secrets along the way. You'll be wicked glad you did." --, Book jacket
