kinda fun
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
a mildly entertaining overview of some highlights in the city. It's kinda' refreshing to get this naughty version of things; but alas, we miss some detail that more objective works contain.
great restaurants and bars

I go to Boston at least twice a year and always am interested in the nightlife scene. This book hit all the hot spots in retstaurants and bars. My friends who lived there were going through the book and saying, "yep, that's in," "that's still hot" If you're into that sort of thing, this is a great guide to have, especially if you're only going for a short trip.
Nice but a little too concise
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The irreverent guide works well along with some other guides, but it is too short and concise to stand alone. It lacks any detailed maps, and doesn't contain a subway map. It also doesn't have any photos which would have been nice. It does however, offer the lowdown on how things really are and makes for an interesting read. I found the accomodations section very beneficial as well.
Everything you need

This book was a great concise guidebook, which contained everything I needed during my long-weekend stay in Boston. It's organized so that it's easy to find restaurants, attractions, and so on. It provides more of an "inside scoop" slant than other guidebooks...for someone who doesn't necessarily want to spend all their time at only the major tourist attractions, this book is a great choice.
