Literary Boston: A Book Lover’s Guide to Bookshops, Libraries and Hotels
Boston has always been a city of readers. It is where Emerson, Longfellow and Hawthorne gathered for dinner, where America’s great publishers once kept shop and where you can still sit under a vaulted ceiling with a book for an entire afternoon. Literary Boston is not a museum piece. It is woven into the streets, which is exactly what I love about it, and fall is the perfect season to explore it.

Locals Keep Coming Back To This Old-School Massachusetts Market For Hot Italian Sandwiches
Some of the subs at this corner market reportedly weigh up to two and a half pounds. That’s not a lunch. That’s a commitment with bread on both sides.

Snowport Boston eats: What’s worth the money?
Snowport is Boston’s largest holiday market, open from Nov. 6 to Dec. 27 in the Seaport. Over the past few years, its popularity has skyrocketed, with Saturday crowds causing lines with multi-hour wait lines that wrap around the block. Last year, I went to Snowport five times, as I wanted to try as many of the food stalls as I could. In honor of Snowport’s opening this week, here are my ratings of all the foods I tried. Usually the food stalls stay consistent each year, so you should be able to try these for yourself.
