Product Description
Boston magazine provides insightful writing and groundbreaking reporting and design on all aspects of the city of Boston. Expository features, narratives, profiles, and investigative features discuss how this city works, reports on which neighborhoods are the most desirable, which schools and workplaces are at the top of the heap, which doctors are first-rate, and which restaurants, stores, and services are the "Best of Boston." There are also regular sections on restaurants, arts and entertainment, travel, shopping, money, fashion, home, and health. Boston has been named among the three best city magazines in the nation seven times by the City and Regional Magazine Association.

Not for everyone January 15, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful

Written for former frat boys and sorority girls in Beantown who still live in the "pack" and can't think outside of it. The ads for kids jewelry and diamond encrusted false eyelashes are vomit inducing. A must for the pretentious set who need a glossy mag to find their second home and the latest places to be seen. Interesting anthropological study for the rest of us.

Read it before you subscribe January 5, 2007

I am surprised at those who subscribed to Boston Magazine, which is always more or less the same, and then exclaimed with surprise at how it focuses on "the elite" and "isn't the real Boston." Didn't they look at it before they bought it?

Boston Magazine is a frothy ad-filled city magazine with some fun features & a lot of fluff. Its "Best of" issue is widely read & the reviews can be useful but it is not a serious periodical. More of a provincial Vanity Fair.

If that appeals to you, then subscribe.

got it for my parents... July 24, 2003

...and although it was a creative house warming gift, I am not impressed. If you are intrested in knowing what is going on with the lawyers or the fanciest chef's in the Boston area and where to locate these people, this magazine might satisfy you. I got a subscription for my parents when they moved to the Boston area about a year ago and, although they might give it a nicer review since they did RENEW their subscription, being an out-of-towner I am not at all impressed. The magazine seems to be promoting the idea that everyone in Boston is loaded and lives the glamorous life and while I understand that the cost of living int he area is quite high, I do not believe nor have I experienced the image promoted in the magazine to be accurate of the area. In visiting my parents I have tried many times to pick up the magazine and read it to no avail...

This isn't the real Boston... June 5, 2003
21 out of 26 found this review helpful

This isn't the Boston that 95% of us here in Boston know. This is the elite Boston and really boring. There are more ads in this magazine than in 2 issues of Vanity Fair. 2 good things about this magazine: 1. The best of Boston edition is very good. 2. It perfectly fits my cats litter box as a liner.
