First up …

“Ugh. There’s nothing to do around Boston.” — said no B-Side Member EVER. 

From City Hall Plaza music festivals to free Barry’s classes, here are the best bites, buys, and bargains to keep your calendar padded through April.

🏃 Race against cancer along the Charles. The RACE Cancer Foundation's Boston 5K Summer Series runs eight Thursday evenings from April through September with post-race parties (with free beer and pizza!). B-Siders save $20 on the Full Season Pass with code BSIDE20 — plus get a free UPF50+ shirt and personalized race bib. 100% of proceeds go to charity.

📺 Watch sketch comedy meet TV nostalgia. The Nova Show returns to The Rockwell in Davis Square on April 24 with "I Dream of TV" — 90 minutes surfing through classic sitcoms, game shows, and reality TV. Expect stand-up, live music, and special guests. Members get 15% off; the first 14 to book get a free drink. 

🎵 Dance till you drop at City Hall Plaza. Mojo Boston Music Festival on May 9 packs AC Slater, The Bends, Supersmashbroz, Morrissey Blvd, and more local artists into 10 hours across two stages. Enjoy a vendor village, food trucks, and a full bar for when you need a break from dancing. B-Side members get $10 off tickets. Become a member for $1, then grab tickets here.

💪 Burn it out for free at Barry’s. We're teaming up with Barry's in Downtown Crossing to give B-Side members two complimentary classes until April 19. We can’t wait for you to try this famously challenging class complete with treadmill and strength training.

👗 First dibs on vintage before summer hits. Select Markets' Spring Thrift Festival takes over The Reggie Lewis Center on April 25 with more than 80 vendors selling vintage, Y2K, streetwear, and jewelry. As a B-Side member, get $5 off early bird access from noon to 1 p.m. to update your summer wardrobe before the crowds arrive. Snag tickets here.

🍕 Good news for foodies. The pizzas at this tiny new Boston restaurant are supposedly flawless.

🏡 Zillow-mode: Activated. What you can get in Boston and its suburbs for under $1 million that’s bigger than a postage stamp? (Yes, these spots exist.)

🍏 Greens powder supplements a scam? They promise nutrition and health benefits in a scoop. Nutritionists question whether they actually do any good.

💸 Students at Berklee pay up to $85,000 to attend. Some say the school’s AI classes are a waste of money.

🛍️ For $225k, you could live in America’s oldest shopping mall. Yes, this one in Providence, R.I.!

😐 Trying to date with RBF (resting bitch face)? For this gal, it’s made it difficult to meet people organically

🚘 We feel SO seen. There’s a scientific reason why some people sit in the car before or after a long day.

🤖 Gen Z is using AI …but doesn’t feel great about it. Real.
