• From the oldest public park and the Cradle of Liberty to America’s first subway and a monster computer.

• The Ether Dome, South Street Diner, Sky Walk Observatory, and the skull of Phineas Gage.

• The Boston Molasses Flood, Wally’s Jazz Club, Harpoon Brewery, and the Emerald Necklace.

• The ideal city guide for travellers who want to escape the crowds and go beyond the well-known paths, as well as for those inhabitants who perhaps thought they already knew their city.
