THIS WEEK

🎮 PAX East

Thursday-Sunday at the BCEC (12PM)

PAX East isn’t just a gaming convention — it’s a gamer’s paradise. Think endless freeplay areas, hands-on demos and deep dives into gaming culture. Enter to win a pair of 4-day badges!*

🌇 Cinco de Mayo Rooftop Party

Today at Revere Hotel (4PM)

Tacos and margs are great, but tacos and margs with a skyline view? Now we’re talking. Celebrate at this FREE fiesta — and don’t worry about the drizzle, they have covered space up there, too.

🌮 Condigo de Mayo

Today at Bodega Canal (6PM)

Want a low-key Cinco that still brings the flavor? Taste your way through a tequila lineup while you get tips from the experts and snack on food to complement every sip.

🎤 NSB

Tomorrow at The Sinclair (8PM)

The North Star Boys aka NSB are bringing their K-pop charm and swagger to Cambridge tomorrow and there’s still time to snag a seat.

🎶 Alex Warren

Wednesday at Roadrunner (8PM)

Why settle for an “Ordinary” evening when Alex Warren is about to make Roadrunner feel extra special? Catch him live at Boston Landing this week.

LOCALS ONLY

  • Who says you need booze to join the fiesta? Boston’s mocktail scene is serving up zero-proof sips that still taste like a party.

  • Head to Trident tomorrow for a deep dive into the saga we just can’t quit. Sarah Gallagher (aka the Twilight lady) breaks it down in her new book, Why We Love (and Hate) Twilight.

  • Copley Square’s partial makeover just debuted, and it’s giving more skatepark than park. The rest reopens in June, so we’ll see if a little more green returns to the scene.

May your margs be spicy and your playlist be fuego!
