Virtual Whiskey Tasting

Tom Fisher is a Bourbon expert, the holidays are soon to hit us head-on, and whiskey makes for quite the perfect pairing with turkey. As Fisher puts it, “the stage is set,” and for now that stage is online, so you don’t have to drive anywhere. In this Friday night session, you can “join Fisher as he shares new ways to feast on our favorite Thanksgiving meal with whiskey. To truly get you in the spirit: a prepackaged whiskey will be sent directly to your door if you choose to have this option added.”

8th Annual Boston International Kids Film Festival

Virtual Talk with the Guerilla Girls

“In 1985, a group of masked feminist avengers—known as the Guerrilla Girls—papered downtown Manhattan with posters calling out the Museum of Modern Art for its lack of representation of female artists. They quickly became a global phenomenon, and the fearless activists have produced hundreds of posters, stickers, and billboards ever since.” This is their story.

A Boston Punk Photography Retrospective

“Time Out Market and Gallery East present a retrospective exhibition of the Boston punk scene in the early 1980s” with an exhibit featuring the work of legendary Boston-born photographer Philin Phlash. “While most photographers choose invited access and official photo shoots, Philin Phlash prefers to catch celebrities off guard, capturing the true essence of the individual, making concrete that which is typically ephemeral.”

SoWa Winter Pop-Up by Wyllo

There aren’t many chances to do things in person this holiday season, at least not safely, but this seems like one of the few exceptions. For six weeks, South End jewelry store Wyllo will host pop-up shops across from their main boutique where you can shop locally made goods. They’re “open for walk-in shopping, however you can also book a private appointment outside of store hours.” In-store pickup is also available.
