Boston is gearing up for a day of deliciousness as it celebrates National Hamburger Day on May 28. Local restaurants will be offering a range of free burgers and special deals throughout the city, enticing burger lovers of all ages to indulge in mouth-watering offerings.
One of the standout events will take place at Big Grin, located in The Lineup food hall in Downtown Boston, where the first 100 guests will receive free burgers from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Those who arrive too late to snag a free burger will still have something to smile about, as they will receive a voucher for free fries. Big Grin’s burgers were recently rated as the top choice during a taste test, further heightening anticipation for this special event.
In addition to the burger festivities, Boston is also launching the Boston Public Art Triennial, which aims to elevate the city’s reputation for public art and enhance accessibility for all residents and visitors. This year, the Triennial will feature a striking structure resembling a “Coraline-looking” house at the Boston Public Library. A total of 20 new public art pieces will be commissioned and installed across the city, with 16 of them available for free viewing until October 31. Four installations will find their homes in local museums, including the Boston Nature Center and Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
The Triennial will include a wide array of events throughout the summer and fall, such as workshops, artist talks, and performances. The theme for this year is “The Exchange,” focusing on how artists draw inspiration from the work of various researchers and experts. A significant installation addressing addiction—based on insights from addiction and trauma researchers—will be showcased by the artist Swoon, ensuring the Triennial resonates with pressing contemporary issues.
