Then... have a wicked blast romping through Boston’s past and into her present.

✭ How This App Can Save Your Precious Time & Money (& teach you a few things about Boston along the way) ✭

• Let seafood king Jasper White show you how to choose the perfect lobster.
• Photograph the fabled, cobblestoned Acorn Street on Beacon Hill.
• Learn about JFK’s role in the Cuban Missile Crisis.
• Find the perfect boutique hotel in the best neighborhood (for you).
• Watch the Patriot’s Tom Brady and then a raucous St Patrick’s Day Parade.
• Taste the North End’s best cannoli.
• Explore the gorgeous Greenway after thumbing through a fabu slideshow.
• Decide between sticky buns at Flour Bakery+Café at Fort Point Channel; cupcakes at the South End Buttery Café; and apple caramel ice cream at JP Licks on Newbury Street.

✭ What This App Offers ✭

Think of it as “curated content” that sifts and filters the good from the "eh” =>
• providing lots of editorial coverage and opinions to satisfy and guide you to the perfect restaurant (for your wallet and time budget);
• enhancing your cultural proficiency of Boston.

Never been to Boston? The neighborhood overviews give you a bigger picture impression.

Check it out; it costs way less than a fancy coffee drink and it will last much longer!
