Written by a Boston local, this new addition to Lonely Planet's popular line of full-colour city guides covers everything from the Boston Celtics to the Great Molasses Flood, the Salem Witch Trials to the proper way to pronounce "chowdah". -- five original walking tours of city neighbourhoods -- details on Boston's hot spectator sports scene: Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, Patriots, college athletics and of course the world-famous Boston Marathon -- excursions to Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard; Lexington & Concord; Salem, and even outlet shopping in Maine -- lots of fun sidebars on how to speak proper Bostonian (wicked!), how to make clam chowder (yum!), and much, much more
