The best way to do it is to make a duplicate layer,
desaturate that layer (Hue/Saturation)
add a layer mask to it (if you look in the layers palette you'll find a button at the bottom, second one in)
Click on the layer mask (shown to the right of the new layer in the layers palette). Now you're free to add or remove colour using whichever tool you prefer (paint brush, magic wand, path selections, etc.)
Tip: when using the paint brush, reset the swatches at the bottom of the tools palette to black and white, then switch between the two using the 'x' key to add or remove colour.
When finished flatten the layers and save.
Alternatively you could just leave the poor picture alone!

I'm guessing someone didn't bother to look at the tutorial already suggested further up the thread...?

Fair enough! But in my defense the web tutorial missed the most important bit:

This 'black and white with colour bits' effect that was used so heavily in the early 90's, has got to be one of the most effective ways to ruin a photograph known to man (however skillfully done). You may as well add some soft focus effects and finish it off by turning the b&w bits to sepia. That way, you can load it on to a digital picture frame and stand it proudly on your mini bar. Nice
