Slice of Life College students can tell you where to get a slice of pizza in any Boston neighborhood until two in the morning. But just because pizzerias are more common than squirrels in this city does not mean it’s all quality. The exciting news is that Regina Pizza (1330 Boylston St., 617-266-9210) is opening its latest restaurant in the Fenway, just a five-minute walk to the ballpark. The calzones, panini, salads and, of course, pizzas which have made this chain so popular are made with aged whole milk mozzarella cheese, a more than 80-year-old crust recipe, fresh vegetables, meats without preservatives and sauce enhanced with aged Romano. Grabbing a pre-game slice with a glass of wine or beer is a win-win even before the first pitch.—Sierra Lister

What Boston’s buzzing about Sedaris Hits the Hub There are few names that raise as many literary eyebrows 4.1.13 as David Sedaris. A mega-celebrity in his own right, this writer and humorist has sold millions of copies of his searing, smart essay collections like Naked, Holidays on Ice and Me Talk Pretty One Day. To be released on April 23, his latest book, Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls, is sure to also rocket to the top of countless best-of lists. Can’t wait for the page-turner? Well, on April 7, Sedaris brings his unique humor to the Hub with an appearance at Symphony Hall (301 Massachusetts Ave., 617-266-1492) presented by Celebrity Series of Boston. Audiences are likely to both laugh and cringe as Sedaris uncovers the uncomfortable, unconventional and ridiculous aspects of life and love. Visit celebrityseries.org to purchase tickets for this rare chance to spend an evening with one of the country’s wittiest minds. —Paul Adler

6 Panorama Hubbub top photo: Derek Kouyoumjian; bottom photo: Anne Fishbein Up Close and Personal It doesn’t get much better than Boston for lovers of baseball. With die-hard Red Sox fans around every turn and historic Fenway Park looming over Kenmore Square, Beantown truly takes this great American pastime to heart. When it comes time to explore Boston’s love of all things baseball, your best bet is taking a Fenway Park Tour. Curious fans can check out the Green Monster and other legendary sites up close during these one-hour excursions that take place each day from 9 a.m.–5 p.m., or up to three hours prior to game time. Pick up passes at the Gate D ticket booth near the corner of Yawkey Way and Van Ness streets or call 617-226-6666 for a chance to see the home of one of the world’s greatest baseball teams. —Paul Adler

The art of Seduction Mostly forgotten in this country after his death in 1920, Swedish artist Anders Zorn has long maintained a strong presence in Boston. This is largely due to the painter’s longtime friendship with Isabella Stewart Gardner, the Hub’s most famous art patron of her day. Her namesake Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (refer to lising, page 18), first opened in the Fenway in 1903, is home to dozens of Zorn’s works, and is currently host to Anders Zorn: A European Artist Seduces America. The show chronicles not only how Zorn—known primarily for his stunning portraits—took Europe by storm in the late 19th century, but also how he became favored by many prominent collectors of America’s Gilded Age, including the Vanderbilts, Deerings and Gardner herself. Enhanced with loans from many U.S. and European museums, this exhibit seeks to ensure that Zorn won’t be forgotten again anytime soon. —Scott Roberto

Barbecue Bliss While Boston may not be the first city that comes to mind for many seeking world-class barbecue and soul food, Sweet Cheeks (1381 Boylston St., 617-266-1300) is here to prove them wrong. “Top Chef” veteran Tiffany Faison’s first restaurant, a casual and inviting barbecue joint located deep in the Fenway district, has already become a neighborhood institution. Juicy pulled pork and wildly good buttermilk fried chicken share the menu with whole turkey legs and a range of Southern-inspired sides, including collard greens and super-rich mac ’n’ cheese. However, nothing really comes close to the buttery grandeur of its biscuits served hot with oozing honey butter. Heralded by Forbes as some of the world’s best, these amazingly fluffy biscuits can now be ordered to go. Good luck getting home without gobbling them down first.—Paul Adler Middle: Anders Zorn, Isabella Stewart Gardner in Venice, 1894; bottom photo: David Galinato BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 aee t p k a the past Taking the Mystery out of Boston History Fenway Park enway Park is one of seven that cannot accom- Fthe best-known sports modate at least 40,000 venues in the world and, of spectators. course, the proud home of The first game at Fen- the Boston Red Sox, seven- way was played on April time winners of the World 20, 1912 against the New Series.
