Now that the dust from the Big Dig - the largest, most complicated highway project in US history - has settled, Boston is free of the unsightly elevated expressway that scarred its cityscape. Formerly divided neighbourhoods are reunited, making sightseeing more accessible and appealing. Other regeneration projects, including the gleaming glass Institute of Contemporary Art (the first new museum in almost a century) on a formerly barren stretch of the waterfront, have come to fruition, bolstering Boston's claim to world-class status and bringing new vitality to the city. Reflecting this is an explosion of chic shops and restaurants, some creeping into long-neglected areas. "Time Out Boston's" team of local journalists, hand-picked from the mainstream and alternative press, is on top of all the latest developments.
