YOURGUIDE To the Irish Pubs of Boston, Second Edition

A GUIDEBOOK TO 161 OF THE BEST IRISH PUBS IN AND AROUND BOSTON. There has been a renaissance of the Irish pub occuring in Boston over the past several years. It is what inspired us to publish our first edition of this guide over two years ago. Well, the renaissance continues. Wonderful, new Irish pubs continue to take their place next to the old, familiar favorites and an expanded, second edition has become necessary. Boston is often called the capital of Irish America because of its thriving Irish community, which dates back to colonial times. Boston was the destination for more than 100,000 Irish during the Great Famine of 1845-1850. The Famine Generation moved forward in Boston, defining their place in its society. The influence of Irish culture is reflected in many of Boston's attractions and institutions. The Boston experience is a very Irish one, and would not be complete without a visit to one of its Irish Pubs. Boston's Irish pubs reflect both the richness of Ireland's heritage and the vibrancy of modern Ireland. Much of the best Boston has to offer in dining, music and nightlife can be found in its Irish pubs. We're sure you'll find your perfect pub in this book.
