The Union Square Thai restaurant is closing June 9.
Fans of Ronnarong Thai Taps Bar in Union Square have one week left to get their fix. The Thai restaurant will close its doors for good on June 9, according to a server at the restaurant. The restaurant is also hosting a farwell dinner on June 8, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., to celebrate Chef Ronnarong Saksua, who's operated a Thai restaurant at the Union Square location since the 1990s, according to the website announcing the farewell party. The website points to all the hard work it takes to operate a restaurant day in and day out for over a decade, and it says Saksua is ready for a break. So, what's moving into the Ronnarong space? Tim and Bronwyn Weichmann, of the acclaimed T.W. Food in Cambridge, will open a new restaurant at the location, …

It's official, summer is around the corner, which means it's the last weekend for the Winter Farmers Market.
The bad news: The last day of the Winter Farmers Market, held Saturdays at The Center for Arts at the Armory, is May 26. After that, it's closed for the season. The good news: The Union Square Farmers Market opens the following weekend, on June 2. Still, if you love the atmosphere of the Winter Farmers Market, with musicians, the Armory Cafe, the art gallery and the stands all packed together, this is your last chance to check it out until next year. If the weather's nice, the market may even be outside. Do you know of an important upcoming deadline? Share it in the comments below and we’ll consider including it in our next "Last Chance."

Surrealist dress is optional. Then again, winning the fashion contest is also optional, but you're a winner.
If you're planning to attend Thursday's iBall party at The Center for Arts at the Armory on Thursday, you'd better get working on your threads. The theme of this year's fundraising shindig is surrealism, and guests are invited to attend in surrealist garb (or, better yet, surreal garb, whatever that looks like). There will be a prize for best costume, and since this is creative Somerville, you're not likely to win that prize by wearing a hat and a funny tie. So consider this your last-chance warning: You'd better get started on your outfit now. If anyone dresses like Kriss Kross, please send a photo. Read more about iBall here. Hundreds of events are posted on Somerville Patch each week, but how often does one pass you by that you wish you…

Open Studios is this weekend. You don't want to show up without a plan of action.
With 115 different studios, many housing multiple artists, Somerville Open Studios is breathtaking in its expanse. It's taking place this weekend, and if you want to make the most of it, you may want to give it some forethought. (Of course, you may want to wing it, which is also cool.) You'll want to grab one of the Somerville Open Studios programs that are currently distributed, for free, throughout the city. Look around Somerville's squares for elaborate newspaper boxes with sculpted yellow-colored hands. If you can't find a program, check out the website. You'll also want to decide your mode of transportation for getting around from studio to studio. There's always walking, but it will be difficult to visit, say, the Brickbottom Gallery…

You can buy tickets at the door, but they're cheaper in advance.
Taste of the Nation Boston serves two purposes. 1) It lets you support Share our Strength's efforts to end childhood hunger in Boston and around the country. 2) It lets you sample some of the best food, from some of the best chefs and restaurants, in Boston. The event, which takes place April 19, features food from 70 of Boston's best restaurants, wine from 30 wineries, plus specialty cocktails, live entertainment and a silent auction. It's not cheap—being a fundraiser, and all—so if you want to go, it's best to get a ticket before Thursday, as it's pricier at the door. Get a ticket here.
