Featuring over 100 unusual and unfamiliar places, this Secret Boston guide is ideal for local inhabitants, curious visitors and armchair travellers alike. Cower before a Viking, conjure the ghosts of a lost convent, sit on an unsittable bench, artistically arrange abandoned rocking horses, worship a cod, roam ruins of a zoo, tour a dozen enormous eggs perched on an island, honour the forebears of Excel spreadsheets, lose yourself in a trippy Russian artistic dreamscape hidden in a Masonic Hall, honour a huge pear, rent a dragon, find Harvard's secret pig, take a mini gondola ride through teeny Venice, fall in love with a Donkey, kiss President Jackson's lips, read 20,000 cookbooks, appreciate bad art, dress up as a marshmallow, hold a cremated elephant in a peanut butter jar.
Far from the crowds and the usual cliches, Boston offers countless off-beat experiences and is home to any number of well-hidden treasures that are revealed only to residents and travellers who find their way off the beaten track. An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew Boston well or would like to discover the other face of the city
