   Saw Summer of Soul in the upstairs “balcony” theater today. Masks are required, most folks obeyed. Good sound system, old fashioned “normal” seats were comfortable enough with good sightlines. See more..

3. 4.5 Larz Anderson Park (93 reviews)
   - Ice Skating at a family friendly rink
   Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Parks
   
   
   My wife is from the area, and she suggested that we bring our kids there on a beautiful January Sunday to ice skate. My eldest was not keen on doing this, but after seeing his brother and I skating decided to join in. They have plenty of the rigid plastic "guides" for off-rink skating and learning and that was the bonus for them to get them warmed up. Very family friendly, good pricing, plenty of skates to rent, and its entirely outdoors (which is best on a sunny day). Enjoy the mild winter we are having! Great music to skate to, as well.

10. 4.5 Gateway Arts (3 reviews)
    - Sincere and unique art! And you can buy it!
    Wednesday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality & Gift Shops • Art Galleries
    
    
    Gateway Arts is a gallery and shop, and a place for disabled artists to make art. The public may not be aware of the latter, because the storefront is just that, a store with excellent displays (because the art is so good). It is in a charming walkable neighborhood in Brookline, so you will be able to walk down the block to a coffee shop and admire your purchase(s), too. I couldn't resist an embroidered pillow that lured me in. Very colorful, and it vibrates with passion and soul. The price tag indicated that it is the flag of France, see the photo I have attached. A great place to do some holiday shopping or indulge in something that you can't resist. And you will be helping support their excellent art program and the artists, too (they receive a nice chunk of the proceeds on the work they sell.) Go, go, go!!! See more..
