Your Field Guide to Boston starts here

We're excited to announce the debut of WBUR's Field Guide to Boston. It's a collection of Boston facts and fascinations, a salute to the weird and the wonderful that make this place home. Whether you just set down your roots or they already run deep, we'll help you make sense of what's confusing and discover what's new through guides, stories, events, podcast episodes, on-air conversations, newsletters, reels and more.

What makes this different from all the other guides to Boston? For us, the "field" says it all — it's the rigorous reporting that makes us WBUR. We mined the deep Boston knowledge of our reporters, local historians, economists and other experts. We fanned out across the city and talked to residents across Boston to find out what they love about their blocks.

This project doesn't end here. We'll be regularly adding to our Field Guide to make sure you have the tools to traverse through and enjoy whatever life throws at you. We see this project as an active celebration of the city's constant evolution, and a chance to explore new frontiers: for you, with us.
