5.0 out of 5 stars Who Knew?
What a fun read this book is! Clever, short descriptions, humorous. As I read it, what kept coming to mind was: Who knew?My mother, who passed away at 96, loved to listen to the brothers Ray and Tom Magliozzi as they hosted the hit series Car Talk on PBS. The staff of Car Talk worked in a cramped office in Harvard Square featuring the window sign: Dewey, Cheetham, and Howe. If you look for it, it’s still there, over a decade after the show ended. Who knew?Well, apparently the author of the book, Kiernan Schmitt, knew. In all, he knew about 150 places. How he found these fascinating and little known locales is a mystery. But I’m glad he did; and so will you if buy the book. Filled with excellent photos (taken by the author), the book is a quick and easy read.--Donovan Moore
5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it and highly recommend!
I lived in Boston for two years and thought I'd explored most of the city. After buying this book, I realize that I just saw the popular, touristy sites and missed a range of not-obvious locations. This is wonderful especially given Boston is such a historical city.Going to use it on my next trip, highly recommend!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Travel insights you should be seeking
This book compiles page after page of unusual, clever, and less-obvious sites and scenes in an historic city that suffers from an overemphasis on the same old standard tourist destinations. Before traveling, I’m always at risk of spending hours scouring the Internet, studying podcasts, and interviewing locals or previous visitors for travel tips. For Boston, at least, this book has done the hard work for me—scratching beneath the surface and delivering the off the beaten path insider info in one nice little package.The book is also notably weighty and of nice construction quality.
5.0 out of 5 stars essential for a trip to boston!
I love traveling to new cities but I try to avoid the old school big name books because usually I don’t learn much or the recommendations are very touristy. I usually stick to online research. But I am SO glad I found the ‘secret’ travel series. It’s full of hidden gems and has detailed but concise descriptions so I can decide what I might enjoy. Secret Boston is awesome if you’re coming visiting the city the first time, tenth time …. or even if you’re a local like me!
5.0 out of 5 stars A must!!!!
This book is a must if you live in Boston, around the area or visiting. Having lived in the area for the last 24 years, this book truly makes you appreciated all the hidden places to visit in the city and around the area.
5.0 out of 5 stars Gems for all
This book highlights great treasures within Boston that allows you to avoid the tourist traps. Well-written and beautiful photos.
