Boston trades proudly on its colonial past, its connections with the “Old World” endearing it to many visitors. But the first city of New England is no museum piece: Boston’s redeveloped Quincy Market is a brilliant example of urban renewal and its diverse neighborhoods and student life give it a distinctive, multi-cultural vigour on a manageable scale, portrayed in full practical detail in this third, revised edition now in standard format. The Rough Guide to Boston is a Lowell Thomas Award winner.
