Boston to celebrate "New Edition Day," name street after legendary R&B group
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is declaring Aug. 30 to be "New Edition Day" in the city. The city will honor and celebrate the legendary R&B group with a community block party and street naming ceremony. "It is an honor to welcome home Roxbury natives New Edition to celebrate their global impact, from our communities here in Boston to the music industry worldwide," Wu said in a statement. "This is a unique opportunity to bring Boston's neighborhoods together in a celebration of culture, pride and community and I encourage every community member to join us to celebrate New Edition's tremendous impact." New Edition formed in Roxbury in 1978. The group consists of members Ronnie DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill. "Boston is where it all began for us," Brown said in a statement. "This honor means the world to me." In an interview with WBZ-TV in 2023, Bivins said the secret to the group's staying power over 40 years is staying engaged with the fans. "We probably have one of the biggest, powerful, loyal foundations that we could ever have," he said. "They are called 'in it for-lifers.'" The "Candy Girl" singers were inducted into the Black Music Hall of Fame in 2022. At 10 a.m. on Aug. 30, the city will hold a street naming ceremony at the corner of Ambrose and Albany streets in Roxbury. Dearborn Street will be designated as "New Edition Way." Founding members of New Edition grew up in the area that was formerly known as Orchard Park. A community block party will follow at 11 a.m. in front of the Orchard Gardens Boys & Girls Club, where there will be music, a youth backpack giveaway, free food, family friendly activities and a special appearance by the group. The city had previously announced plans to honor New Edition in Sept. 2024, but that date was postponed "due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts" at the time.

A historic merger in Denver's art scene: The Kirkland joins the Denver Art Museum
On Sunday, July 27, the Denver Art Museum (DAM) and the Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art commemorated their official merger with a vibrant Block Party celebration marking a new era of creativity, accessibility, and community engagement. The free, family-friendly event welcomed visitors with hands-on artmaking, music, food trucks, shopping, and open access to both museums. But beyond the festivities, the day symbolized something much bigger: the full integration of the Kirkland Museum into the DAM campus and programming. "This has been a really good exchange between the two groups," said Merle Chambers, Co-Founder of The Kirkland. "As a smaller museum, we didn't have everything we needed to make it better. Now we do." The merger brings with it more than 35,000 objects from the Kirkland's extensive collection, boosting DAM's permanent holdings by roughly 30%. Visitors who purchase a ticket to the Denver Art Museum can now access The Kirkland as well, breaking down cost and accessibility barriers for art lovers of all ages. That shift is already making an impact. Lauren Potter, who visited from Texas with her young son, said discovering the Kirkland during their summer trip to Denver was an unexpected highlight. "Where we are in Texas, not only are the arts kind of under attack, but they're almost nonexistent," she said. "It's a really neat thing to bring kids to the museum and have it be a friendly, accessible experience." The Kirkland now features greater accessibility for families, including improvements to accommodate small children, something it previously lacked. Potter said she appreciated how the newly integrated space invites kids into the creative world in a hands-on, welcoming way. "We pretended like we were shopping for our house," she laughed. "It's been so kid-friendly, especially for a kid who loves the arts."

Small plates and an intimate space in the Seaport
The backstory: Chef Charlie Foster and restaurateur Kristin Canty focus on sustainable agriculture, eschew GMOs and trans fats (no seed oils here), and embrace organic food at their Seaport restaurants and Adelita and Woods Hill Table in Concord; some of their ingredients come from the Farm at Woods Hill in New Hampshire. That approach continues to play out here, but The Block is focused more on socializing and sharing plates. Advertisement Pommes souffles are the fanciest potato chips you ever had, hollow puffs fried in tallow and topped with caviar. Ben Pennington/for The Boston Globe What to eat: Start with plates of charcuterie made with pork from the farm. There's Parisian jambon, anise-studded finocchiona, and more, served with olives and other accompaniments. Then move on to Foster's small plates, adventurous with a light touch: pig's ear tots; tuna crudo with cherries, aji amarillo aioli, and squid ink tapioca chips; lobster and 'nduja pierogies. The aging program (both meat and fish) is a centerpiece of the menu, and it's on full display: Look at that gorgeous salmon hanging in the glass case, bright orange flesh against silver scales! Foster uses the technique to play with texture and flavor in dishes such as dry-aged beef carpaccio and salmon belly crudo. Pommes souffles are the fanciest potato chips you ever had, hollow puffs fried in tallow and topped with caviar. Surf clam ceviche with coconut leche de tigre is The Block's version of chowder, a short rib panino its steak and cheese. There are a few larger steaks, chops, and fish dishes on the menu; dessert includes pastry chef Kasey Geremia's vanilla soft-serve sundae with strawberry-rhubarb compote. Get Winter Soup Club A six-week series featuring soup recipes and cozy vibes, plus side dishes and toppings, to get us all through the winter. Enter Email Sign Up Tuna crudo with cherries, aji amarillo aioli, and squid ink tapioca chips. Ben Pennington/for The Boston Globe Advertisement What to drink: There's a succinct cocktail list that builds from a tequila-based Cilantro Spritz to the Block Party, a flight of three different martinis. The wine list focuses on organic, biodynamic, and sustainably produced selections. Zero-proof options are plentiful. Pastry chef Kasey Geremia's sundae features vanilla soft-serve and strawberry-rhubarb compote. Ben Pennington/for The Boston Globe The takeaway: The Block at Woods Hill is a verdant jewel box of a space, from the dark green marbled bar to the striped shirts and aprons worn by the staff. It feels soothing and botanical; a floral mural decorates one wall. It's the kind of place where you meet a friend for a snack, then wind up staying for dinner. 300 Pier 4 Boulevard, Seaport, Boston. 617-861-4268, . Charcuterie plates $22-$33, small plates $9-$30, large plates $56-$88, desserts $9-$14, cocktails $16-$20. The aging program is a centerpiece of the menu at The Block at Woods Hill.
