About Boston Neighbor

What this is

Boston Neighbor is a small local magazine for Greater Boston. We keep a calendar of confirmed events, post the local notices that change your week, and link to practical guides for your home. There are no ads.

Who runs it

Boston Neighbor is published by Roviq LLC, which also runs other local businesses. Those are listed in one place, the "From our local team" row on the home page. Stories, guides, calendars and notices do not promote them.

How we report

Our guides are compiled from primary sources and checked, not reviewed. We read the pages of the town, venue, business or agency involved, and credible local reporting, and we link every source at the bottom of the piece. We have not necessarily visited a place, tasted a dish or tried a service, and we never imply that we did.

• An event is listed only when the organizer's own page gives its date. A date can still change, so confirm with the organizer before you go.
• Local notices come from the town's own pages. Each card links the source, and where a town has not posted something, the card says so and links where it will appear.
• Where a price, hour or date is not published, the piece points you to the page to check instead of guessing.
• We do not invent stories, quotes or businesses. Illustrations on this site are original editorial artwork. Real photographs carry a credit and licence next to the image.
• Businesses in Neighbors are featured for free, and only with their permission.

Corrections and contact
