Damn, 2024 came through with some absolute bangers. We had Brat summer with hit-after-hit from Charli xcx, but we also saw Sabrina Carpenter sing silly little outros to her sleeper hit Nonsense, Taylor Swift quite simply refusing to leave the charts (by any means necessary) and Chappell Roan catapult into fame faster than you can say ‘Pink Pony Club’. The past year really was for the pop girlies. But what are the songs that defined the year? Well, aside from the above, we’ve seen chart-topping country boy crooners, instantly iconic rap takedowns and joyously twee indie – all making 2024 a pretty stellar year for new music. I was tasked with building our ranking of the best songs of 2024 and compiled this list by asking our amazing international team of writers and editors to contribute their year-defining tracks. Expect to find a global list of tunes, from personal favourites to chart-toppers that simply can’t be ignored.

When the weather outside is frightful, there's nothing more delightful than a steaming mug of hot cocoa. We're not taking about a powdery packet: Boston is brimming with rich, sweet, spicy—and occasionally boozy—options for hot chocolate. With a cup of any one of these cozy drinks in your hands, not only you will feel festive and toasty, but you will also feel your fingers. Hot cocoa pairs well with strolling through the best parks in Boston or following a spin on the ice at one of the best skating rinks. If hot chocolate doesn't do enough to satisfy your sweet teeth, check out our guide to the best desserts in Boston. RECOMMENDED: Full guide to the best restaurants in Boston

With more than a dozen top-notch eateries, Time Out Market Boston is a local foodie's dream. But for the parents among us, it's not always possible to score a sitter and have a night out without kids. Fortunately, Time Out Market is exceptionally child-friendly, with lots of open communal seating; chances are you can set up shop with plenty of room for your crew. If the kids make a bit of a mess (or if you do!), the market's hands-on team of bussers will help take care of it.  RECOMMENDED: Full guide to the best restaurants in Boston

Time Out Market Boston's best-in-the-city roster includes something for every situation. And when you're hungry and it's boiling out, escaping the sun at the city's best food hall is always a good idea. At the market there are dozens of tempting dishes on offer (and secretly, even more!), so knowing what to order can be a tough task, especially if the heat's taking a toll. After you cool off by grabbing drinks—we suggest a local IPA in a frosty glass, or a frozen cocktail—it's time to dig into these cooling options, all of which are great any time of year. And once you've recovered and are ready to head back out to the real world, stay close and enjoy the coolest things to do in the Fenway. RECOMMENDED: Full guide to the best restaurants in Boston

Gather your game-night group and head to Time Out Market on Tuesdays this month. Every Tuesday in February, look for featured shareable dishes from the vendors, and enjoy a 15% discount on food when you BYO board game.

The holiday festivities at Snowport have ended for the season, but the Seaport winter wonderland's iceless curling rink is up through February. Dress for the weather and head to Harbor Way for free outdoor fun—no curling experience is required. Reserve a lane for up to eight people for half-hour games. Curling at Snowport is open weeknights and all day on weekends, with extended hours from February 17–28. 

Moki, a Massachusetts wellness company inspired by Nordic experiences, is bringing back its urban sauna and cold plunge experience this winter. Following a stint last year on Boston's Greenway, the Moki Sauna Winter Village is popping up outside of Aeronaut Brewing Company in Somerville through April 2025. It's set up semi-privately outside Somernova, a development also home to Boston Bouldering Project, Carolicious Venuzuelan Arepas, brand-new dumpling house Mimi's Chuka Diner and other businesses. Bringing Moki onsite for the season "[creates] a space where entrepreneurs and visitors alike can step away from the demands of their work to recharge, reflect and embrace mindfulness," said Kristin Phelan, vice president of real estate development for Rafi Properties, which owns Somernova.  Here's how it works: Plan for about two hours, and book a $60 session to experience full use of the wood-fired sauna, cedar-barrel cold plunge tub and fire pits. Bring a swimsuit or other light, comfortable clothing; Moki supplies towels, slippers, lockers, changing areas and rinsing stations (robes are available for a small additional fee). One-hour fast passes, 10-packs, monthly memberships and gift cards are also available.

Local families: Want to play tourist in your own city? Students who live in Boston and two guests per child can now get into some of Boston’s top museums for free on certain days. On the first and second Sunday of each month beginning January 5 and continuing until the end of 2026—that's nearly 50 Sundays—Boston Family Days open nine institutions to local students: Boston Children’s Museum, Institute of Contemporary Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Science, New England Aquarium, Franklin Park Zoo, Museum of African American History, John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Mayor Michelle Wu and the City of Boston have automatically enrolled Boston Public School students in this program, but Boston families with students enrolled elsewhere must sign up with the city. Boston Family Days builds on a BPS Sundays initiative in 2024 that attracted 44,000 attendees across just seven Sundays. Five partners including Amazon and the Barr Foundation are making it possible for the Boston to expand the program. Before inviting the whole fam, check with your destination to see if you should pre-register—popular spots like the Children's Museum and Aquarium recommend it.

This development is home to Aeronaut Brewing Company, Boston Bouldering Project, Carolicious Venuzuelan Arepas, brand-new dumpling house Mimi's Chuka Diner and other businesses. In the winter of 2025, it's hosting the Moki Sauna Winter Village pop-up with a cold plunge, fire pits and more hygge.

One of the most anticipated events of the year, Boston Calling brings big-name artists and local acts alike to the Harvard Athletic Complex every Memorial Day weekend. More than 50 performers annually take the stages across three days. The festival also features hundreds of options for food and drink for both general admission and platinum-level ticketholders.  Stay tuned for news about the Boston Calling 2025 headliners and performers! Weekend and single-day tickets will go on sale soon.

Time Out Market’s Cocktail for a Cause in January supports stable housing for all in Greater Boston. Hearth & Haven combines tequila, Aperol, pineapple and lime juices, coconut cream and Angostura Bitters for a tropical, seasonal treat in support of Metro Housing|Boston. One dollar from every Cocktail for a Cause sold goes to the local organization, which works directly with folks who are unhoused or at risk of losing their housing. Metro Housing|Boston helps people in Greater Boston navigate available services and resources, and empowers 25,000 households a year to move toward housing stability. Served in a pineapple-shaped glass garnished with mint and a red cherry, Hearth & Haven is $15, exclusively in January from the bars at Time Out Market.  

A stunner tucked away on Commercial Street in the North End, the Red Fox is like a chic version of homey sister-spot, Tony & Elaine's. (One of our neighborhood favorites!) The 2024 debut specializes in trendy martinis, served strong with a sidecar of garnishes. (This same team is behind Farmacia, and a hidden martini bar has quietly opened inside, but separate from the Red Fox.) While soaking in the red-hued atmosphere of the restaurant, enjoy homade pastas, like oricchette with pistachio pesto and lobster ravioli. Some of the entrees are plated to share, such as the Red Fox parm: thin, crispy chicken cutlets layered with prosciutto, fontina, red sauce, mozzarella, parm and fresh arugula.

A hidden gem just off Route 9 in Chestnut Hill, XOXO Sushi Bar is getting notice for beautiful dishes with flavor to match. A 2024 debut from a pair of real estate developers-turned restauranteurs, they tapped chef Kegan Stritchko, whose experience includes Uni and Fat Baby Sushi, to lead the innovative global Japanese restaurant. With a sushi counter, robata grill and traditional omakase available nightly—not to mention, memorable cocktails—XOXO aims to fill the void still felt by the departure of Oishii II from this upscale neighborhood and suburban date-night destination.

Mark your calendars for a New Year’s Reset on Sunday, Jan. 12. This ticketed event includes a soundbath, mocktails and mingling. Wellness expert Christina Muccio will be in the house to lead stretching, goal-setting and journaling with the group. Everyone will leave with a gift bag full of treats like a gift card to Glowbar and samples from Booty By Brabants, Squeeze Juice Co. and Truvani. Tickets are $45.

Beer fests are back at Time Out Market Boston for 2025. On Saturday, Jan. 18, a host of local breweries will be popping up inside the Fenway food hall serving samples to the 21-plus crowd.

Instagram moments never-before-seen-in-Boston arrive in the city this season—just in time for winter break with the kids. The Museum of Illusions Boston opens Saturday, Nov. 23, near Faneuil Hall. Elsewhere, the Museum of Ice Cream is getting ready for a December 14 debut in the Boston Seaport. Tickets are now on sale for both sensory-driven experiences. Here's what you need to know about the Museum of Ice Cream: What is it? You know that photo opportunity where people are basking in a ball pit made of lifesize rainbow sprinkles? That’s the Museum of Ice Cream. Well, it’s one of the most famous installations at the “immersive ice cream playground.” With five other permanent locations in New York, Chicago, Miami, Austin and Singapore, the Museum of Ice Cream is a truly multisensory experience—there are unlimited ice cream samples!!—centered on the universally beloved frozen confection.  There’s that Insta-famous sprinkle pool to explore (accessed via a whimsical slide), interactive playscapes, a café and exclusive treats available in each city.  What to expect from Museum of Ice Cream Boston Installations at every Museum of Ice Cream are “crafted to celebrate ice cream and local culture,” according to a press release. In Boston, that obviously translates to sports: “FunWay Park” is an exclusive exhibit featuring carnival games and cotton candy in flavors that recall ballpark snacks, like buttered popcorn.  Cookie Living Room, meanwhile, is a cozy place made of “cookie motifs”

Tony Messina, who’s lived in sunny Los Angeles for the past few years, did not appreciate the snow that was falling when he landed in Boston ahead of the holidays. But the chef, who originally hails from East Boston and was named Best Chef: Northeast by the James Beard Foundation during his tenure at Boston’s illustrious Uni, was nevertheless thrilled to be back in his hometown in a new role: Consulting chef and partner at the neighborhood’s Cunard Tavern.  Photograph: Courtesy Cunard TavernPhilip Frattaroli and chef Tony Messina “This East Boston is a very different East Boston than I grew up with, and I think it’s all changing for the better,” says Messina, who signed on with restaurateur Philip Frattaroli of Filmark Hospitality to reimagine the menu at the group’s East Boston gastropub. After weeks of long-distance menu development, hiring a local chef de cuisine and engaging in some fast-and-furious training around the holidays, 20 new dishes from Messina are now on the menu at Cunard Tavern. There’s more to come, including a completely revamped brunch menu later this winter.  The partners’ shared Italian American heritage colors many new dishes on the current menu (see below), such as grilled broccolini with an ingenious pepperoni vinaigrette, smoked mozzarella and basil; fried provolone with arrabbiata sauce; and "Homage to Jeveli’s Chicken Parm," a large plate inspired by Eastie’s bygone original red sauce eatery. But Messina and chef de cuisine Nathan Wester are

More than 50 performances are happening during Boston Calling when it returns in May—and now we know who’s on the bill. (And what’s on the food menu.) Luke Combs, Fall Out Boy and Dave Matthews Band are headlining the three-day music festival in Lower Allston, which will operate with a slightly tweaked setup aimed at improving the experience for fans. Undercard acts include a mix of 90s and 2000s throwbacks—like Sheryl Crow, TLC, Avril Lavigne, T-Pain and more—as well as rising stars in country music and R&B, indie artists and a dozen local performers. The festival runs Memorial Day Weekend form May 23–25. Photograph: Courtesy Boston Calling / Remi WolfRemi Wolf is performing a Saturday set at Boston Calling 2025.

While we eagerly await the 2025 Boston Calling lineup announcement—update, January 3: it's coming on Monday!—the festival organizers have announced some updates, including plans to lower the cost of entry (!!). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Boston Calling (@bostoncalling) We’ll see what exactly that entails; Time Out has reached out to Boston Calling organizers for more information and is expecting to learn more this month. The organizers also teased that they’ve invested in a new, state-of-the-art rotating stage system that will combine the Red and Green stages (the fest's two main stages). This will allow for better views, more room to roam around, and an enhanced audio/visual experience for all attendees, according to today’s announcement. Look forward to some indoor programming at the 2025 festival: Boston Calling is bringing back arena performances this year. Located near the main entrance to the festival grounds, the arena is air-conditioned and has seats. The other change announced today was welcome news to fans: Boston Calling will offer more water stations on the festival grounds this year. These are all exciting updates from the festival organizers, getting us wicked excited for the lineup announcement coming soon.  Image: Courtesy Boston Calling

Vanilla Fig Cooler. Winter Warm Spell. Blackberry Ginger Fizz. These titles entice like the creative, seasonal cocktails you’ve come to expect from the bars at Time Out Market Boston—but they are all alcohol-free.  Whether you’re giving Dry January a try, day drinking during brunch or just looking to start 2025 with a little less booze in your body, the new mocktail menu at Time Out Market is here for you.  “There's no reason to miss out on the fun just due to alcohol,” says Meghan Murphy, assistant general manager at Time Out Boston and mixologist extraordinaire. “While I enjoy an adult beverage myself, I know what it's like to just not feel like consuming alcohol and being bummed out by the lack of N/A options.” That’s never the case at Time Out Market, which always offers Sam Adams "Just The Haze" non-alcoholic beer, TÖST Rosé, kombucha, root beer, cream soda, Culture Pop, fountain soda and more non-alcoholic offerings. But especially for January, Murphy is highlighting the care that goes into crafting memorable mocktails. “I use house-made syrups and my driving force is always flavor,” she says. Mocktails are always available from the bars at Time Out Market—all you have to do is ask. These four drinks are featured on the menu in January. Lavender Lights What’s in it: Lavender syrup, lemonade, splash of soda What it’s like: Shaken and strained into a Collins glass with cubed ice and topped with bubbly water, garnished with a sprig of lavender and a lemon wedge.

Before the fireworks of New Year’s Eve in Boston, the sky could light up with aurora borealis. Northern lights are returning to New England overnight on December 30. Whether they appear as far south as Massachusetts remains to be seen—but why not stay up late ahead of NYE to see if you can catch a glimpse? A strong geomagnetic storm happening above Earth will contribute to glowing hues, mainly visible in northern New England, according to Boston Globe head meteorologist Ken Mahan. Caused by erupting solar material, these storms are happening with increased frequency these days, as the sun is nearing a period of peak activity within its 11-year cycle known as a solar maximum. This period is slated to continue into mid-2025, so northern lights sightings may become increasingly common in the new year. Citing the aurora dashboard from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, Mahan says it's unlikely that Boston and most of Massachusetts will see northern lights tonight, but “the northern edge of Massachusetts might catch a glimpse.” New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine have a better vantage point on the latest northern lights in New England. Maybe there’s still time to plan a last-minute getaway for New Year’s Eve? To maximize your chance of seeing the aurora, go outside and look north toward the horizon between 10pm–2am. Be as far from light pollution as possible, Mahan advises. Digital cameras are better at detecting visible wavelengths than the naked eye, so point your phone at the

No matter how New Englanders feel about snow on any other day of the year, there’s certainly something magical about a white Christmas. Will there be a snowy holiday in Massachusetts this year? There’s a chance, but it’s a small one, according to the area’s meteorologists. Christmas—and the first night of Hanukkah—is less than a week away on Wednesday, Dec. 25. Leading up to that date, temperatures will be cold enough for snow, but the skies are currently looking clear, noted WCVB Boston meteorologist Mike Wankum. “When the holiday arrives in the middle of the week, temperatures will be higher and moisture isn't expected to arrive until the following day,” he wrote in his weather blog. However, communities outside of Boston, notably past Worcester to the west and north into New Hampshire, have a higher chance of waking up to snow on Christmas morning, according to WCVB’s forecasters. The executive weather producer at WBZ-TV, Terry Ellison puts the entire Commonwealth’s chance of a white Christmas at about 25%. (Let’s clarify: a “white Christmas” is officially defined by the National Weather Service as at least 1 inch of snow on the ground by 7am.) “A very weak disturbance” from the Great Lakes will make its way through New England “between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day,” Ellison said. “While the odds of this dropping an inch of snow just in the nick of time are low, at the very least it could mean some mood flurries in the air during Santa's ride or on Christmas Day!” A low

A building in Brookline that looks like a gingerbread house is home to a new chocolate shop and café. L.A. Burdick, famed New Hampshire makers of exquisite chocolate bonbons and delicious drinking chocolate, opens its third Boston-area location in Coolidge Corner on Saturday, Dec. 14. To celebrate on opening day, L.A. Burdick is sharing a complimentary cookie with everyone who makes a purchase from the new shop. Photograph: Courtesy L.A. Burdick Chocolates Photograph: Courtesy L.A. Burdick Photograph: Courtesy L.A. Burdick Chocolates The full-service café and retail counter is set inside the historic S.S. Pierce Building, a Tudor-style landmark with a clock tower on the corner of Beacon and Harvard streets. Time Out got a look inside the new shop as the elves—we mean, the chocolatiers and baristas—were about to start stocking the shelves. This quaint café has whimsical design details that fit right into the historic location, like arched windows, old-world lighting elements and cheery striped wallpaper. The shop will have an expansive retail selection from L.A. Burdick, including gifts for chocolate lovers as well as the artisan company's full range of treats. For prepared food and drinks, it will offer counter and table service, and a menu of chocolate bonbons, pastries, cookies and beverages.  Founded in 1987 in New York City before relocating to Walpole, N.H., L.A. Burdick was among the pioneers of European-style chocolate-making in the U.S. Head chocolatier Michael

It’s been a year, readers! As we near the end of 2024, it’s time to reflect on the meals we savored because the only thing we want to remember about the last 12 months is the best things we ate. (Isn’t it always about the food?) Time Out editors and contributors across the country spent countless hours eating their way through their respective cities, reviewing restaurants, and dissecting trends to bring you this year’s Best of the City Award for Best New Restaurant. It’s a coveted title bestowed to the special spots that won our hearts and swept up accolades, not only from us but also from Michelin and other eagle-eyed diners. If you find yourself in any of these cities, now or in the future, add these fantastic new restaurants to your list. Miami: Sunny’s It’s hard to do many things well, but Sunny’s somehow manages to excel at all its endeavors: a fun happy hour spot, a glamorous Art Deco steakhouse, a chill outdoor restaurant (and dare I say, kid-friendly?) and a lively cocktail bar where you can order a drink and bowl of pasta without any side glances from your neighbor. We also love the tableside martini service and the down-to-earth staff, and, of course, those perfectly seared cuts of meat.

For travelers seeking a city dining experience with little time to spare in Boston, Delta has a compelling new reason to upgrade your flight. The Delta One Lounge at Logan International Airport opens December 11 in Terminal E, with a seafood menu and an elegantly casual dining experience.  An intimate restaurant with skyline views and a complimentary, full-service, multi-course menu, the Delta One Lounge is located through Delta’s massive, new-ish Sky Club in the main international terminal at Logan. On the mezzanine level, just off the Sky Club “living room” and to the right of check-in, the new area also has six shower rooms, stocked with towels, bathrobes, slippers and Grown Alchemist products. Photograph: Jacqueline Cain Photograph: Jacqueline CainThe entrance to the Delta One Lounge off Delta Sky Club at Logan Airport Terminal E Accessing these upgraded experiences is exclusive to passengers with same-day Delta One tickets, the Atlanta-based airline’s highest seating class on international flights and certain long-haul domestic routes. If you’re flying first or business class on certain Delta partner airlines, or are flying first class as a member of Delta 360, an invite-only frequent flier status tier, you can also access any of the Delta One Lounges. None of those categories described me at Logan Airport this week, but I got a first look—and taste—of Boston’s Delta One Lounge during a media preview.  At 6,700 square feet and just more than 120 seats, Boston’s Delta

If going to see The Nutcracker staged by Boston Ballet, dressed up for the show, is one of your beloved holiday memories, too, chances are you’re making plans to check out the most festive bars and restaurants this holiday season. Make sure Time Out Market Bar is on your list: Three Nutcracker-themed drinks now grace the menu, adding to the already-festive lineup of seasonal cocktails at the Fenway food hall for December. Meghan Murphy, assistant general manager at Time Out Boston, created the drinks inspired by her own childhood fondness for the show. "As a mini ballerina myself at the time, I was blown away by the magic of it all," she says. "This is what the season is all about: love, giving to others, shiny lights, nostalgia and the overwhelming pure joy and excitement of it all." The drinks bring to mind one of Boston's most beloved holiday traditions with flavor and whimsy. Of course, there’s a Sugar Plum Fairy. This pink drink matches bright, tart crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) with vanilla, lemon and edible glitter. Clean-tasting vodka is the spirit that livens this cosmo-like cocktail. TuTu Tini is for the espresso martini lovers out there. This festive rendition adds creamy peppermint and chocolate liqueurs to locally roasted Atomic Cold Brew coffee and vodka. Shaken on ice and strained into a peppermint-garnished glass, you’ll feel like grown-up Clara discovering the Kingdom of the Sweets while savoring this one.  Nutcracker Mai Tai celebrates the high-qual

Time Out Market Boston is known for an enticing array of cuisine from some of the coolest kitchens in the city. But the food hall’s two house-run bars are among the best-kept secrets in the Fenway neighborhood. From a top-shelf selection of local craft beer to seasonal cocktails and mocktails, Time Out Market’s bars please every drinker’s palate—and the expansive space means you and your crew will (almost) always find seats. Visitors to Time Out Market may not realize that all the cocktail ingredients (besides the spirits!) are made in-house, says assistant general manager Meghan Murphy, who creates the seasonal cocktail menus. “It's such a good team effort. Without our bar backs and bartenders, it's all just words on a page until they show up and bring it to life,” she says. For this season’s selection, Murphy started by considering the flavors of the season—warm spices, sweet fruits, festive textures, etc. The holiday-ready menu debuted this week: Here’s what you’ll be sipping on this season at Time Out Market Boston.
