Boston's Mayor Menino launches holiday site

Mayor Thomas M. Menino launched a holiday promotional Web site designed to boost holiday sales and encourage families to enjoy Boston's broad range of holiday events.

The site MayorsHolidaySpecial.com offers discounts for theater, dining, shopping, lodging, and parking.

"The arts have an extraordinary ability to lift our spirits and remind us of all we have to celebrate," Mayor Menino says in the release here. "I invite residents and visitors to bring their families into the city to enjoy a show, holiday shopping, a festive meal, a stroll through the holiday lights, and even a skate on the Frog Pond."

Catherine Peterson, executive director of ArtsBoston, adds: "We are so pleased to partner with the Mayor on such a wonderful project. The arts really sparkle at this time of year. Sharing these joyful arts experiences truly brings people together."
