Daily Email - Thursday - 5/28/2026

The grocery store got me good this week: a three-pound bag of peanuts for $5 convinced me I could recreate the magic of Fenway from the comfort of home. Now my apartment floor looks like the one under Monster Seats in the seventh inning, which is a reminder that some things are better outside.

Kind of like cider. Sure, you can drink it anywhere, but it hits different on a perfect summer night. That’s why you’ll want in on our CiderFeast Haverhill ticket giveaway. Enter to win.
