Those creations will be auctioned off at their Gala event on May 9th.
We love using this event to enjoy a spring walk around Boston. We download a map from the Copley Society site or pick up one from the first artist we see. Then, we wander around visiting with the artists working on their contributions to the event.
April is a busy month with the Boston Marathon and other events making hotel rooms expensive and restaurant reservations scarce.
Easter Sunday April 4th & Passover April 4th-11th
On Easter Sunday, you'll find special menus in many restaurants. If you have suggestions for places not doing this or alternative dining suggestions for Easter, please add them. And, Passover is a great time to enjoy some of the special kosher foods that are easier to find at this time.
Do you have a favorite place to buy chocolate for Easter Baskets?
Patriots Day Weekend/Boston Marathon & other BAA races 18th to the 20th
The Boston Athletic Association is expecting 30,000 runners and half a million spectators for the Marathon on April 20th. There are other races and marathon related events all weekend.
There will be road closures and changes in MBTA routes surrounding the Marathon course. Here are some links to information on those aspects of the race.
If you need to get somewhere on Marathon Monday – before the roads close – try to place yourself on the side of the course that will allow you to get where you're going.
