Entry of the Week: Monday, April 15 With the city basically shut down for Patriots Day, what better to do than cheer on the runners of the Boston Marathon? Participants will wind their way 26 miles through the city, starting in Hopkinton and ending near the Hancock Tower in Copley Square. The race begins at 9 a.m., but since it will take runners anywhere from two to seven hours or more, spectators can show up any time during the day to cheer runners on. The Cityside Restaurant and Bar will be open with an upstairs patio where spectators can watch the race. For those 21+, $3 Bud Lights and Coors Lights will be served all day. But get there early, the restaurant will likely fill up quickly. 1960 Beacon St., Brighton; 11:30 a.m.; price of food; citysidebar.com.
