We’ve focused on the 9 best workout deals in South Boston. From unlimited lifting classes to yoga classes with acoustic music, there’s something for everyone. As the holidays approach (with expensive gift-giving, and lots of high-calorie treats), we get extra anxious about working out–for cheap.

Local Instagram Influencers: @Kerriaxelrod

“Social media is a reflection of my life because I am, in some ways, my brand.” We’re all well-aware of the social media influencers: a group growing every day, filled…

The Coolest Apps Started by Our Fellow Bostonians: U Out

The same kid who goes to an EDM show on Saturday is looking for half-priced apps on Tuesday with co-workers, and also wants to do brunch with his family on Sunday. Why do you need three different apps when you can get it in one place?

The Coolest Apps Started by Our Fellow Bostonians: EverDrive

In the sixth installment of our “Coolest Apps” blog series, I spoke with Seth Birnbaum to discuss EverQuote’s app, EverDrive.  This app can help you become a safer driver, pay…

Spotlight on New Fenway Brewery: Cheeky Monkey

Not only is Cheeky Monkey different from Lansdowne pubs, but it’s actually different in one key way from every other bar in the United States today. We chatted with Emily Tourtillotte, Cheeky Monkey’s Digital Marketing Coordinator, about what its been like starting a business in a prolific area of Boston…

Technology to Help You Get in Shape

In this article I’ve strayed away from the Apple watches and Fitbits of the world, because I know we’ve all heard enough about them already. Here, I’ve compiled a list of 7 trendy and cutting-edge gadgets to improve your workout (or to track your results).

The Coolest Apps Started by Our Fellow Bostonians: Food For All

Americans alone waste 38 million tons of food every year; apparently, that’s enough food “to balance a scale with all of the blue whales left in the world, multiplied by 10, stacked on the other side.” And that’s just Americans. If the environmental results from food waste aren’t enough to sway you, how about this: I just logged into Food For All and saw a Mexican burrito bowl on sale for $4.00…

The Coolest Apps Started by Our Fellow Bostonians: Icebrkr

When I sat down to speak with Kevin, co-founder of IceBrkr with Matt, he mentioned something interesting. He said, “You know, when people think of search engines, they usually say only one: Google. But when you ask them what dating sites they’re on, they usually give you about five different answers… [because] no one’s quite nailed it yet.”

The Coolest Apps Started by Our Fellow Bostonians: PlateJoy

Both music streaming services cost the same for the individual per month (although Apple does offer a $99-per-year deal, making it $20 cheaper if you choose this plan), so money doesn’t play much of a factor in the debate.
