The Boston Handbook: An Irreverent Guide to the Hub of the Universe - John Powers

Descriere The Boston Handbook: An Irreverent Guide to the Hub of the Universe - John Powers

\nIn this unique city, it's less Welcome to Boston and more welcome Boston to you. From street names to driving customs to weather, nothing is as it is wherever you call home, and the locals are proud of it. Boston writer John Powers turned his experience of living in Boston for over fifty years into this fun yet practical guide which brings visitors into the real Boston. Fresh with Peter Wallace's animated illustrations, The Boston Handbook gives the inside scoop on everything from transportation to cuisine to architecture. From front to back, there are tips on how to navigate the city (the West End doesn't exist), how to understand Bostonians (Harvard Yard is Hahvid Yahd, and no, you're the one with the accent), and how and why Boston has always been ahead of the rest of the USA. \n \n\n \nIn this unique city, it's less Welcome to Boston and more welcome Boston to you.
