Hey all, does anyone have any favorite newsletters (and or news sites) for the area? NYC has some great ones albeit they are significantly larger than us! I recently came across this for NY Mag and was wondering what the best options for Boston-area coverage - news, general interest, events, etc. Can be super niche too, any ideas are welcome and I'm curious what are all your go tos!

Not a perfect match for what you are looking for, but as a transplant in Cambridge I love these two sites: If you want to keep up with restaurant news: https://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/?m=1 For a bit of a fun spin on local news: https://www.universalhub.com/ Cambridge day is good to keep up with local politics.

https://bostoday.6amcity.com has an email newsletter that gets sent out every weekday morning at 6am and has had so much helpful info about events and local news for boston, somerville, and cambridge. if you dont like newsletters their website is great too

If you want housing related news, A Better Cambridge (ABC) sends out a monthly newsletter that often covers Cambridge-related political news. An example can be found here. It's from a pro-housing / yimby perspective. You can subscribe here: https://www.abettercambridge.org/sign_up

Agree with Cambridge Day, UHub, and Axios Boston.

For a more edgy (but still generally worth reading) newsletter, try Contrarian Boston.
