Courtyard Bar featuring Bellini | 5:30 pm-9 pm
Rumor has it that when Giuseppe Cipriani invented this cocktail, the color reminded him of a pink toga in a painting by 15th century Venetian artist Giovanni Bellini. We’ll drink to that!

Try your hand at a lighthearted gallery game – focused on some of the exquisite Italian works in the collection.

Charles River jogging and bike paths
Ever since the weather started to get pleasant here in Boston, the Charles River has been flooded with foot and bike traffic. The 17+ miles of walking / bike paths that follow the contours of the Charles River offer runners and cyclists alike some fantastic views of Boston and Cambridge. However, you need not commit to such a long workout and can cross back and forth between the many bridges that crisscross the Charles River.
If you live in the area and have not downloaded one of the many maps available feel free to print a copy of this map to give you incentive and to start your spring training so to speak, Marathon Sports Charles River Map.

Highest paid public employee (by state)
Here is an interesting map of the US that has been making the rounds on the internet. It depicts the highest-paid public employee by state. You’ll note that in 40 states it is a football, basketball or hockey coach who earns the most. Hmm… further proof of how sports-obsessed Americans are no doubt.
SpeakEasy Stage: In The Heights
In The Heights, the winner of four 2008 Tony Awards, is the current production from The SpeakEasy Stage Company that opened May 10th and runs through June 16th. The musical will grab your attention with large dance numbers set to rap and hip hop rhapsodies all set in NYC’s Latino neighborhood, Washington Heights, in the summer of 2003. The story centers around members of this closely knit neighborhood and how their lives are entwined with the neighborhood they all call home.
If you require a bit more incentive to purchase tickets to this show, I’ll give you three reasons: Diego Klock-Perez (Usnavi) and Jorge Barranco (Sonny) who’s lives center around their barrio bodega. Their rap and dance scenes are among the best in the show. However, I was distracted every time the incredibly handsome actor, Jared Dixon (Benny), stepped on stage and his shirtless scene on the balcony at the opening of the second act alone makes this show worth its money, but fortunately there is more to offer than these three men and the entire cast really does deserve credit for pulling off some intricate dance and musical numbers. This is a great date option or night out with friends.
You may purchase tickets at The Calderwood Pavilion box office on Tremont Street in the South End or by phone, 617-933-8600 or online at SpeakEasyStage.com.
Kmart will let you ship your pants
Kmart has suddenly got cheeky with their YouTube “Ship My Pants” video.
Although it is 100% safe, someone with a great sense of humor noticed how similar “ship my pants” and “shit my pants” sounds – especially when said over and over again. Take a listen and enjoy.
Things that make BosGuy go hmm…
Yankee Candle has rolled out a series of “man candles” with scents like MMM, Bacon! I’m sort of at a loss for words.
