We’re sending you deep into the woods with GA passes, camping and $600 towards travel. Sign up for DoMORE and enter to win!*

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT: KRISSY BETS

We found a way to be nosy and call it networking. The Local Spotlight is our weekly excuse to yap with cool people doing cool things around Boston. This week, we’re talking dating, which isn’t exactly Boston’s strong suit (just ask anyone who’s single). Enter Krissy Bets, a local content creator on a mission to take the pressure off and get you to go stag.

TONIGHT

LOCALS ONLY

• Things are getting a little bit country tonight. Test your luck on the mechanical bull at Landmark Tavern or trade the saddle for skates at Warrior Ice Arena’s Country Night.

• Sprint to the Boston Run & Outdoor Expo this weekend, packed with the latest tech, apparel and equipment so you can hit the ground, well, running.

• Golf + cold beer? Yes, please. A mobile golf simulator is popping up at Harpoon Brewery with prizes like merch and gift cards. Why not have a swing at it?

• Union Square is where it’s at for movement, strength and connection through curated classes and workshops led by local instructors. Be Well at Bow goes down on Sunday.
