Yolo's Boston list

 

Boston Black Book The best oysters and fried chicken sandwiches, arts hubs, literary landmarks and cool shopping Yolanda Edwards Sep 24 There are so many places I’d love to go, but haven’t been, because I don’t have a work reason to go, or I don’t have a good contact to give me a list of all the things I need to know. Even for me, it can be overwhelming to try and navigate someplace new. Boston was one such place, until I reached out to my friend, Laura Kaesshaefer, who moved there years ago. We had worked together at Martha Stewart Living—she was an editor in the craft department, and has impeccable taste in all the things we care about when we are traveling. The last time I went there I followed her list to a T—and she’s just updated it for me (and now you)! Since it’s fall, when the city is especially lovely, I thought it was good timing to share it.
