An Insider Guide To "36 Hours In Boston"

A lot of us oooh’d and ahhh’d this past weekend when we read the New York Times‘ take on Boston and, most important, the guide to a visitor’s “36 hours” in our fair city. We oooh’d and ahhhh’d so much in our “Radio Boston” editorial meeting that we decided to open up the conversation.

So, it’s happening today, Thursday, at 3pm EST, during the “Radio Boston” broadcast. We want to here from you, our listeners and readers: what would your ‘Insider Guide’ to Boston include? We’ve invited the BOSTONIAN who wrote the article, Katie Zezima, contributor to the New York Times, as well as Globe Arts Reporter, Geoff Edgers. 

It’s sure to be lively and fun, as well as fascinating (what are the NYTimes‘ criteria when it comes to creating a visitor guide?).

Listen and call in with your thoughts: 1.800.423.TALK. Or comment via Facebook or Twitter at Radio Boston OR Public Radio Kitchen.

You can also join a LIVE webchat after the show at 4pm EST with Katie. Just click HERE.
