Boston offers its visitors an unrivaled combination of American history, culture, and entertainment. Theater and performance art make an active home in the city and its environs, and there is much to do and see during the AATS Centennial meeting this year,
In entertainment venues, on Saturday, April 29, the acclaimed Alvin Ailey Dance Company will be beforming at the Wang Theater, and Sunday, April 30, the Celebrity Series of Boston will present an evening with Broadway and television star, Kristin Chenoweth at Boston Symphony Hall; and throughout the meeting, the Boston Lyric Opera will be performing Mozaert’s “The Marriage of Figaro.”
Sports fans need not be disappointed, especially baseball fans, as Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox, will be hosting the Chicago Cubs, April 28-30, and the Baltimore Orioles, May 1-4.
As every American knows, Boston has a very rich history. The Freedom Trail links 16 historically significant sites of the Revolutionary era by a red brick path and has organized walking tours. There are also popular tours of Boston breweries and a special Saturday Chocolate Walking Tour of the Back Bay.
Boston also has many world-renowned museums ranging from the Museum of Fine arts to the Museum of Science (where the delightful Butterfly Garden opens April 28), the Computer Museum, and the JFK Library and Museum. During the meeting, the Museum of Fine Arts is featuring a special ongoing exhibit of the legendary French artist, Henri Matisse. The New England Aquarium on April 28 begins a special focus on Tentacles, featuring the giant Pacific octopus and its many relations.
For more active artistic fare, the annual meeting coincides with the popular Boston ArtWeek, an award-winning festival featuring more than 150 unique and creative experiences that are participatory, interactive, or offer behind-the-scenes access to artists or the creative process. It is located at 270 Tremont Street
Photowalks Tours offers walking tours with guides of the various landmakrs and neighborhoods of Boston, allowing photo opportunites, exercise, and the chance to learn about city history and culture, including such locations as Beacon Hill and the Waterfront.
For those with a macabre sense of history, take the “Ghosts & Gravestones” tour, through Boston’s most chilling sites and haunted places. The tour is performed with the cooperation of the city’s Historic Burying Grounds Initiative, and a portion of the ticket price goes toward maintaining Boston’s historic cemeteries.
For more standard historical fare, two famous ships are available for touriing: the USS Constitution (“Old Ironsides,” the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world), and the Boston Tea Party Ship.
For foodies, and those of us who just have to eat, the city has restaurants for every taste although seafood, of course, is the specialty cuisine. For the best in dining, visit www.bostonmagazine.com/best-restaurants-in-boston.
