The Boston Globe's Things To Do section

While many people visit an online news publication to get the news (duh!), there are many others who go online just to find out what's going on around them. For people living in Boston and New England, looking for something to do, the Boston Globe features an excellent Things to Do section with plenty of information.

This section not only features a list of the hottest restaurants in town and all the newest movies currently being shown, it also has extensive reviews for all of them. It also has listings for local theater/arts and music events. But that's not all. This section also lists plenty of activities for families, singles, etc. There's also a unique, interactive map that tells people where the cheapest and most convenient places to park in Boston are. Talk about helpful.

There were two things I liked most about this section. One was a search engine that allows visitors to find events based on their location, say Somerville or Roxbury. I also liked that there was a link to the Boston 101 photo gallery, which shows visitors images of some of the nicest places to visit in the city.
