B-SIDE GUIDE

Summer bucket list unlocked

One thing is true about the B-Side team: We get around. Like … a lot. 

But even the most seasoned professional-recommendation givers have their own lists of things to eat, see, and do. So we cracked open our Notes app to share what’s on our summer bucket lists:

⛴️ 1. Hit up Boston’s Harbor Islands after hours. Tired: Spectacle Island day trips. Wired: Spectacle Summer Nights. This series is the ultimate adult boat day. Think: After-hours access to Spectacle Island, live music, paint and sip events, lawn games, and most importantly, beach s’mores (!!!). Tickets just dropped, but they sell out FAST, so grab them now!

🙏 Thanks for being here! The rest of this exclusive B-Side Guide is for premium members who fund our journalism. If you start a 14-day trial, you’ll be able to continue reading at bside.beehiiv.com!
