Riassunto

Boston’s Secret Spaces offers tantalizing peeks into places ordinary mortals rarely see. Published in partnership withThe Boston Globe and based on the exceedingly popular Boston.com feature (3.2 million page views and counting)—and with an introduction by Boston hotelier extraordinaire Robin Brown—this book’s unparalleled compilation of photos and text on fifty of greater Boston’s most intriguing spaces makes it a unique resource that will be treasured by residents and visitors alike.

 

The book takes readers behind the scenes at such sports hot spots as inside the scoreboard at Fenway and Tom Brady’s locker to historical landmarks like JFK’s private dining room at Locke-Ober, as well as to such offbeat locales as MIT’s nuclear reactor, and a drag queen’s dressing room.

Dalla quarta di copertina

A beautifully photographed journey behind the scenes to some very special, little-known spaces in and around Boston?from athletic spots to historical attractions As a hotelier, I have enjoyed access to the inner sanctums of many great cities of the world. None of them matches Boston. . . . It takes a while, however, to know this city. . . . Boston is subtle, a beautiful woman with a soft voice. When you’re not looking, she steals your heart.
In these pages, The Boston Globe and Boston.com have done the homework for us by scouting the secret settings that make Boston special. . . . Boston is a kaleidoscope, and we just turn it to find another wonder. ?Robin Brown, from the Foreword
