Don’t worry, Boston's newest official document isn't more paperwork for you… it's for your dog. Couples who marry at City Hall can now request a pet certificate welcoming them into the union. Finally, some recognition for the real VIP of the family. 

As for the human VIPs, we've got tickets to one of the biggest tours of the year. Enter to win your way in for Ed Sheeran at Gillette next month.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Happy National Oyster Day! If your ideal summer meal starts with a dozen on ice, find an all-you-can-eat feast in Back Bay and plenty of $1 oyster deals across Boston.

  • Ready, set, glow! Boston Lights is back and brighter than ever at Franklin Park Zoo. Starting next week, your evening visit turns into a magical lantern wonderland.

  • Pop princess Tyla brings the A*Pop Tour to MGM Music Hall on November 25th. Better yet? We've got a pair of tickets with your name on 'em.

LOCALS ONLY

  • In today’s feel-good story, five endangered sea turtles are back where they belong after seven months of rehab at the New England Aquarium.

  • More Massachusetts communities are pulling the plug on Flock license plate cameras over privacy concerns. Cambridge, Framingham and Salem have already cut ties, while others debate doing the same.

  • One year in Harvard Square calls for champagne and oysters. Lou's inaugural Oyster Riot serves up hors d'oeuvres, live music, a Biergarten and more party favors.

Are we still avoiding the produce aisle? I'd love for lettuce to be boring again.
