 Upcoming Events

Wednesday May 22

6:15 PM to 8:10 PM
Museum of Fine Arts - Free Wednesday Evening

Join us for a FREE Wednesday night at the Museum of Fine Arts! (:

The museum has recently been expanded and improved. The Red Sox are out of town in Chicago so parking should be available and the "E" line Green line MBTA stop is directly in front of the museum.  We will meet between 6:15-6:30 p.m. at the front Huntington Avenue entrance; if you arrive late, we will stay on the first floor for the first 15 minutes or so to give you a chance to find us.

Afterwards, anyone who wishes to do so, we will walk across the way from the back entrance of the museum over to either Thornton's Fenway Grille or Swish Shabu Japanese Hot Spot Sushi, both on Peterborough Street (a 5 minute walk). Please let me know your preference. If you can't make it to the museum, but would like to attend the dinner, that is fine too. Let us know your mobile number, so we can tell you when we decide which restaurant we are going to.

Dinner will be at 8:15 p.m.

Details & RSVP on our Meetup site.

Out & About Nights at Local Theaters


Several local theaters have special nights for GLBT audiences. These nights usually come with a post-show party, and the theatres give groups like ours a discount, so it's a great night to go see the show.

You can get the Cambridge Men's Group discount whether we organize a group outing or not, and we encourage you to do so.

Usually, we also try to meet for dinner before the show.
