Happy New Year, Bostonians. To start the year off on the right foot, we need a little help from you.

Every morning, more than 65,000 of you welcome us into your inbox. And each day, we do our very best to provide you with timely, relevant information so you can get the most out of the city we call home.

We’re asking you to take two minutes to tell us a little more about yourself because the more we know about who you are, the better we can deliver information that you care about. Just two minutes. Feel free to skip any questions you don’t want to answer. We don’t want to pry. (Okay, we do, but for a good reason.)

We’ll be selecting one lucky survey participant to win $500. We’re rooting for you, Boston.

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

— Jessica + Victoria

Start planning that outdoorsy vacation now. The National Park Service is offering free admission to all parks and associated sites for six days in 2024.

The selected dates are:

• Monday, Jan. 15: Birthday of Martin Luther King Jr.
• Saturday, April 20: First day of National Park Week
• Wednesday, June 19: Juneteenth National Independence Day
• Sunday, Aug. 4: Anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act
• Saturday, Sept. 28: National Public Lands Day
• Monday, Nov. 11: Veterans Day

While many NPS locations in Massachusetts already do not have entrance fees, these dates offer an ideal occasion to visit sites like the Adams National Historical Park in Quincy (usually $15), Lowell’s Boott Cotton Mills Museum (usually $3-6), and the Cape Cod National Seashore (usually $15-25).

Bonus: Flex your muscle on a nearby trail from our local hiking guide.

From the editor
I know Pantone said the color of 2024 was “Peach Fuzz,” but I opted to ring in 2024 in black and white — watching the New Year’s “Twilight Zone” marathon on Syfy.

Even at 60+ years old, it’s incredible how many of the episodes rival modern television. Seriously, call me when “Black Mirror” traumatizes an entire generation like the infamous “Living Doll” story.
