Great! Useful guide that I'll carry around

Was a fun and quick read. Decent pocket guidebook for tourists. However no regular Bostonian would include MassArt as third in a list of famous Boston area colleges lmao (“Harvard, MIT, MassArt”). No diss on the school and maybe if you are in the arts but most people will say BU, BC, Northeastern, Tufts before they think of MassArt when they think of Boston.

Actually READ this book cover to cover. A great and updated guide to the city. I made note of a few additions of my own in each category, but generally, this is spot on!

If you are new to the area or haven't followed the local scene it's a good overview of old and new. Some sections a repetitive but you can only review so many things
