WEEKEND FUN: Art Inspired by Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Children’s Play, Creative Coffee Hour, Ethiopian Food

By |

I have a diverse group of entertainments for you this weekend, with an emphasis on international culture, and including with a restaurant recommendation. Have you heard that a wonderful Ethiopian restaurant opened in Watertown Square last year? Start out your Friday exploring that delicious cuisine at Lalibela on Spring Street. On Saturday evening there is a music performance at Restaurant Chulo with Nepali singer Ram Krishna Dakhal. Sunday there is a play at the Mosesian called “The Miraculous Journey of Edward the Rabbit.” Take your young ones and enjoy the play, but there is one unique feature, it’s in Russian! Sunday morning there is a meetup for creatives called The Studio Social for photographers, videographers and content creatures to share ideas, discuss projects and collaborate. They would love to expand their group. Saturday and Sunday afternoons, Mount Auburn Cemetery has an exhibit of work by their current artist in residence, Juls Gabs. Go take in the art in the Bigelow Chapel and then stroll through the winter wonderland of the cemetery at this time of year.

Power Play Senior Hockey action returned to the John A. Ryan Arena on the first Saturday night after the New Year, pitting the hometown Boston Gold Kings (BGK) versus the Holyoke Papermen. The Gold Kings started the night in second place, and by the end of the night they were still there thanks to an offense that clicked early and often, and a sterling performance from goaltender Mike Cowell. Final score of this one was BGK 7 and Holyoke 2.
