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.
