false 3066487 1 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 and historic paths such as the Freedom Trail, Boston lives up to its nickname as The Walking City. 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. In this newest book from the award-winning series, 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.<P> This two-color, portable guide features 36 walks, detailed maps for each trip, original photos, and critical public transportation information for every trip. Route summaries make each walk easy to follow, and a "Points of Interest" section summarizes each walk's highlights. Walk descriptions include trivia about architecture, local culture, and the city's rich history, plus tips on where to dine, have a drink, and shop.<P> 3097493 15 5 2008 Walking Boston: 36 Tours Through Beantown's Cobblestone Streets, Historic Districts, Ivory Towers and New Waterfront total:2|5:1|4:1| 2 9 3 2 4 0 false false Thu Jun 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 04:42:15 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 18:56:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 true false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu Mar 20 17:18:55 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 20 17:21:27 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Aug 26 20:48:29 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 20:50:31 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3066487
