MANIFEST YOURSELF
For some, confidence is a rare commodity, but Erika Cramer is not one of them. Cramer, a mind-set coach and author, will be visiting Boston's Trident Booksellers & Cafe to discuss her new book, 'Becoming Magnetic,' a self-help guide for women who want to improve their self-confidence. With professional insights, personal experiences, and some Boston charm, Cramer will be in conversation with locals about the secrets to confidence.
June 2, 6:30 p.m. 338 Newbury St.
BINGO & BOPS
Are you a self-proclaimed music nerd? You can claim the official title at CambridgeSide during weekly Musical Bingo nights. During each tune-filled night, bingo card squares will be filled with song titles rather than numbers and letters. It's a game of luck and strategy, as players mark off their squares based on how well they can name that tune when snippets of songs play in lieu of numbers being called. With a wide-ranging list of tracks, attendees will need to brush up on their music knowledge for a chance to win.
June 3, 6-8 p.m. 100 CambridgeSide Place, Cambridge.
ROCKAWAY BEACH
There's nothing like the smell of the salty sea on a hot summer day, bright tunes filling the air. Thankfully, you don't need a dime to spend the day or night immersed in the warm weather and accompanying live music. The Boston Harbor Hotel, located at Rowes Wharf, will host waterfront performances by local artists and Berklee musicians as part of its annual Summer in the City programming. Acts will take the stage four days a week until Aug. 28th, kicking off with the Boston-based Sugarbabies this Tuesday.
Tuesday-Friday, 6-10 p.m. 70 Rowes Wharf.
REEL ONES
Believe it or not, young people are creating cinema. And no, it's not just iMovie trailers and CapCut-edited TikToks.

Featuring the voices and vision of youth throughout the world, the event will showcase diverse perspectives in storytelling and filmmaking from younger generations.

WING ME UP
Yes, the football season is long over, and sure, the Celtics season was cut short, but catching the game isn't the
only
reason we indulge in chicken wings. But cravings don't have to be a huge burden to your wallets — not on Wednesdays, at least. At Fete Restaurant and Lounge, Wednesday is Wing Night and chicken wings are a buck a pop and come in a variety of flavors, most of which veer toward spicy — from Baked Jerk to Fete Fire.
Wednesdays, 5 p.m.-midnight
