Rooted beneath Boston’s polished skyline lies a city of buried rivers, whispered rebellions, and impossible engineering feats. Beneath every step, secrets crackle with life.

Which protest once turned these tranquil gardens into the city’s political epicenter overnight? What tunnels snake below your feet, feeding Boston’s greatest mystery? And why did a forgotten dinner in a smoky backroom almost change local sports forever?
