The Weekend Beckons

Alison, editor

It’s been one of those weeks without end.. and half of my family is counting down to great trips in 2 or 3 weeks while I look forward only to spring.. someday, right?

Tonight, I’ll join Misstropolis readers (because I qualify!) at the Sherborn Out for a spring menu tasting and tete-a-tete (click here for more info).

Also this weekend, you can learn about the four sisters who ran a boardinghouse (for respectable types only) in the West End area of Boston (see our calendar here for details on this Historic New England event)...

And the Danforth Museum in Framingham hosts a visit with artist Ana Maria Pacheco, whose lifelike circle of witnesses is a haunting installation.

Whatever you do, enjoy!
