Ottawa: The Unknown City

Ottawa is Canada's capital city, home to numerous historic sites, museums, and galleries, and the birthplace of such diverse lights as Alanis Morissette, Rich Little, and Paul Anka; it also has a small-town charm lurking beneath its frozen tundra. This witty and urbane Unknown City book--one of only a handful guides available on Ottawa--charts a course through the city's hidden landmarks, shopping and dining hotspots, and secret histories.
