Eat, shop, go
Congratulations, everyone. You’ve made it to the end of the semester. Final exams start Tuesday, but before they do, take some time for yourself. In this week’s “Weekender,” we’ve put together a list of events to help you de-stress, get moving, and fuel up for those last-minute papers and exams.
Boston Public Market
Hungry? Take a stroll or bike ride down to the Boston Public Market. With nearly 30 vendors, visitors will find something to satisfy every taste bud: fresh meat and seafood, produce, ice cream, bagels and pastries, and Vietnamese and Moroccan cuisine, all produced locally. The Boston Public Market reopened its outdoor seating in late April for those looking to enjoy their meal there. Or you can choose from among the many breakfast, lunch, and dinner to-go items to enjoy later at home.
The Boston Public Market, 100 Hanover St., Boston, is open Wednesday through Saturday, from 8 am to 6 pm. Check out the website for more information and Instagram for updates.
