We’re on a mission. It’s our goal at BOStoday to bring the most relevant + engaging daily content about Boston right to your inbox. We are proud to deliver free, positive, local news that you look forward to each morning.
As you can imagine, it takes work to make this happen. A lot of behind the scenes effort goes into making sure we keep you up to date with everything going on in our community (and beyond).
Long story short: It’s not an easy task, but it’s one we love doing.
We know you hate paywalls as much as we do. By becoming a member, you help keep this product free for everyone. Because access to important local information should be free for all.
As a member, you’ll receive exclusive members-only emails, member exclusive shoutouts, and discounts to our Six & Main store. Plus, we’re donating 10% of memberships annually to a local philanthropic cause. But we hope you’ll join because you support our work.
Let’s make this happen together, Boston.

THE WRAP
Today’s edition was written by City Editor Sara.
Editor’s pick: Anyone else watching The Rings of Power? For all my Lord of the Rings fans: make plans to dine at a Hobbit House in Rhode Island this fall.
That’s right — the Preserve Sporting Club hosts private dining experiences in cozy, LOTR-themed homes. It’s about a two hour drive from Boston, which seems very worth it in my book.
