Frostbite isn’t very fun, but do you know what is? Sledding! If you’re daring enough (or crazy enough?) to step outside into Juno’s wrath, there are some surprisingly good slopes in and around the Boston area that are perfect for taking an epic ride. Here at BDCwire, we’ve compiled a few of the best hills and ranked them according to the ski trail grading system — that way you can decide which ones you’re up for conquering. Bundle up and grab a sled, cafeteria tray, trashcan lid — whatever you can get your little frozen hands on — and go shred some slopes. Stay warm, Boston! More
Red noses and rosy cheeks are beginning to arrive in Boston, and with the temperatures quickly dropping, it’s safe to say that mother nature has some thick blankets of snow in store for us this season. Down jackets and snow boots are great and all, but when it comes to combating this weather, you’re also going to need to arm yourself with a cup of decadent hot chocolate to take your mind off the chill.

With a black helmet tucked under one arm and a brown paper bag in the other, Tim Sorbanelli walked out of CVS one night with a package of condoms, two bottles of Fiji water, a sleeve of Oreos, a stack of paper plates and a scented candle and sped away on his moped. More
Candy corn, creepy pop-up costume stores, and random Christmas displays are here, which means only one thing: it’s October. And with this month comes an abundance of whimsical, cheesy, pee-in-your-pants scary films celebrating the bewitching holiday that is Halloween. So what better way to ring in the season than to sit down, get a little tipsy, and watch Freddy Krueger as he tears apart the dreams of innocent little children? I spoke with an Atlanta bartender and former co-worker Devlin Bolton, who shared some insight into the interesting ways to pair your favorite Halloween movies with your favorite brews. More
Toward the end of last year, Tom O’Keefe, otherwise known as the man behind @BostonTweet, launched a new project called #DownloadBoston. Now up and running, this project serves as a platform for some of the most innovative (not to mention unique) consumer startup apps throughout the city. More
If we’re going to be brutally honest here, I’ve never really understood what is so panty-dropping about the whole pumpkin spice phenomenon. But, in the name of Ugg boots and cute Instagram pics and all that is holy, I’ve accepted this fad because I’m a college girl and it would simply be against my culture if I didn’t. More
“Freedom”–or some other delightfully pungent aroma—was in the air last weekend at the 25th Annual Boston Freedom Rally, known commonly as Hempfest. Cannabis connoisseurs and curious Bostonians alike hit up the Boston Common (no pun intended) to not only relax and enjoy life, but to also show their support for marijuana policy reform—an issue that has found its way to the 2016 ballot.
