1.0 out of 5 stars This isn't the real Boston..., June 4, 2003

By A Customer

This isn't the Boston that 95% of us here in Boston know. This is the elite Boston and really boring. There are more ads in this magazine than in 2 issues of Vanity Fair. 2 good things about this magazine: 1. The best of Boston edition is very good. 2. It perfectly fits my cats litter box as a liner.

3.0 out of 5 stars Read it before you subscribe, January 5, 2007

By	common reader (Lexington MA) - See all my reviews

I am surprised at those who subscribed to Boston Magazine, which is always more or less the same, and then exclaimed with surprise at how it focuses on "the elite" and "isn't the real Boston." Didn't they look at it before they bought it?

Boston Magazine is a frothy ad-filled city magazine with some fun features & a lot of fluff. Its "Best of" issue is widely read & the reviews can be useful but it is not a serious periodical. More of a provincial Vanity Fair.

If that appeals to you, then subscribe.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone, January 15, 2007

By	Lobster Coast (Portland Maine) - See all my reviews

Written for former frat boys and sorority girls in Beantown who still live in the "pack" and can't think outside of it. The ads for kids jewelry and diamond encrusted false eyelashes are vomit inducing. A must for the pretentious set who need a glossy mag to find their second home and the latest places to be seen. Interesting anthropological study for the rest of us.
