Boston By Foot, Inc.

In the year of America’s bicentennial, the fervor for American history was at an all-time high, and few cities are as full of patriotic landmarks as Boston. As floods of citizens came to see and experience America’s roots, Polly Flansburgh decided to gather together experienced locals to educate visitors and newcomers on the stories in which the city is steeped. Nearly four decades later, her non-profit, Boston By Foot, Inc., still pairs curious patrons with enthusiastic volunteers schooled by the company in the city’s lore and architecture.

This diverse selection of tours allows patrons to learn more about the aspects of Boston that interest them most. Specialized excursions might visit the scenes of the city's most infamous crimes and diseases, the buildings important in the revolution, the homes of Boston’s greatest literary heroes, and places where somebody found an onion that looked sort of like Robert De Niro. The staff even lead one tour specifically designed for children, which helps illustrate lessons from history class without too much walking for little legs.

The Groupon Guide to: Owl Food

Owls are not only the wisest of all the great birds in the sky but they're also the hungriest. Given the opportunity, owls will attempt to eat any of the following:

  • A mouse
  • A small rabbit
  • A mouse riding a small rabbit
  • A roller skate that has burger meat inside it
  • A large bug
  • A potato with cardboard mouse ears stuck on with toothpicks
  • A photo of a cow that makes it look like it's the size of a mouse
  • A dirty brown tennis ball rolling down a hill

Under what circumstances will an owl eat a cow?
