Spring has definitely sprung, and with that warmer weather is coming a new biergarten at Gore Place, that will be open only on weekends from now until October. They will serve beer and hard seltzers, but also non-alcoholic drinks. So it will be a lovely place to gather outside at the end of a workweek. Watertown Children’s Theater is putting on a show of “Amelie.” This is their teen edition, so I encourage you to take in this fun romantic comedy. After hearing about the Met Gala and all the crazy outfits, how about going to see “The Devil Wears Prada 2” at the Majestic 7? Then head to the Eco Fest on Sunday to get some new clothes at the free clothing swap event. Also on Sunday, there is a half-price sandwich event at Joe’s Variety Deli, as they invite you to join them in celebrating small businesses. I want to join them in celebrating the many small businesses in Watertown. Don’t forget to frequent those in Coolidge Square that have suffered a reduction in business from all the street improvement work.
