What Will Your Boston Encounter Be? Get up close and personal with the Green Monster at Fenway Park, or haggle over antiques in Beacon Hill. Feast at salumerias, pasticerias and enotecas in the very Italian North End. Make a house-call to the oldest home in Boston: Paul Revere's abode. Gallery-hop with fellow art enthusiasts in Back Bay. Boston Encounter features day tripping through history with visits to Lexington, Concord, Salem and Plymouth. Discover twice the city in half the time with a full-color pull-out map for easy navigation. Our local author recommends the best pubs, shops, historical sites, museums and more. Hand-picked highlights, itineraries and excursions help you make the most of a short trip. Bostonians share the love: meet a filmmaker, a festival co-founder, a comedian and a Professor Emeritus & University Historian at Boston College.
