The weekend starts out unseasonably warm and then moves into the 40s by Saturday (Bostonians still consider this tropical for this time of year). Be sure to get outside as much as you can. Indoors, you can stop by for a special Islamic-themed night at Marciano Commons hosted by the Islamic Society of Boston University, support a local BIPOC-owned beauty business, and check out a virtual comedy show by a student improv group.

The menu includes Afghani bolani with yogurt and chutney, Egyptian vegan koshari, and mango lassi. In addition to the food, the group promises music, decorations, and a virtual fashion show.
