The Boston Survival Guide is your alternative guide to Boston — healthy food, nature spots, healing resources, bookstores, music and esoteric pursuits. This site first went live on March 15, 1999. It was designed and is (sometimes) maintained by Julie Stoller.

In November 2017, I finally ditched the clunky layout in favor of a mobile-friendly, streamlined look. I also introduced ads, which hopefully won't get in the way of the information. I used to be vehemently against this, but as I'm not flush and this sort of thing takes some time, I decided to do it. If any of this information is useful for you, please click a few ads. You don't have to buy anything, and every little bit helps. Thanks! I'd also appreciate any comments, especially help with updates.
