The Boston Traveler

Boston Magazine Loves Boston Anew

by Chandra on March 29th, 2008

The current April 2008 issue of Boston Magazine includes a lengthy piece on “61 New Best Things About Boston.” If you’re not familiar with the city and plan on passing through, consider give the article a read to develop a stronger sense of the local flavor. I’ll get you started with the first ten things on the list.

1. The rest of the country secretly wants to be like us
2. Somewhere in an MIT Lab, a researcher is this close to saving the planet
3. Swimming in the Charles
4. Robin Young, 57, public radio doyenne
5. Author Atul Gawande
6. Musician Lori McKenna
7. Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin
8. The lilacs in the Arboretum
9. The magnolias on Commonwealth Avenue
10. The leafless trees reflected off the Charles during the winter

Okay — admittedly all of the flower and tree talk at the end of the Top Ten might cause some eyes to roll, but there’s still 51 things left on the list.

Check out the remaining items at Boston Magazine.
