Good job, dedicated Boston citizen. If you’re getting this, it means you’re already one of the most informed + connected Beantown residents (or at least you’re about to be).
We are BOStoday — your new go-to for navigating all things Boston. Whether you’re walking the dog, still in bed, sitting in the carpool line, or sipping your morning Dunkin’, your life as a smart, engaged Bostonian just got a little bit easier.
Here’s what you can expect. ➡️
We’ll share what you need to know in Boston each day — from ranking the best dishes at a new restaurant to breaking down upcoming developments — so you can wake up, read one (free) email, learn something new and move forward with your day. We call that a win.
Because you’re an early subscriber ➡️
We’re giving you a sneak peek into what we’re working on. Here’s what you’ll find in our upcoming newsletters:
- A monthly Plan Ahead calendar. Each month you can utilize our curated events calendar to find the best ways to fill all of your days around town — from shows to seminars. Find January’s here and stay tuned for February’s coming soon. 🗓️
- If you’re already bundling up and sipping on hot chocolate, we’ll continue to help you find the best winter activities, like these ice skating rinks.
- Love traveling around New England? We’re giving you the 411 on where to plan your weekend getaway in the area, like this Ice Castle in New Hampshire. 🚗
- We will be diving into Boston’s food and drink scene. 🍻
- And of course, we can’t do our job thoroughly without mentioning our city’s officially-designated cocktail or our favorite coffee chain. Stay tuned as we spill the beans on Dunkin’s history + learn more about the history of the Ward Eight cocktail. 🥃
Additionally, we’ll be chatting with you about adoptable pets, how to pronounce Boston street names + Massachusetts towns, where to find food halls around the city, which local podcasts to listen to, and tips for celebrating local events.
