To end summer on a high note, Eataly Boston is throwing an outdoor block party series full of food, drinks and live music on Boylston Street. Every Thursday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. through Sept. 28, Piazza all'Aperto ("open piazza") is welcoming people to indulge and have fun right outside of Eataly. 

"We were inspired by sagre, the bustling food festivals held in the piazza of nearly every Italian town, where people eat, drink and make merry throughout the warm summer nights," said Kevin Gil, Eataly Boston's general manager, in a statement to MassLive.
