After walking away from Finagle A Bagel, ostensibly toward a Starbucks, I passed the giant tent for the Big Apple Circus, which is set up in City Hall Plaza for most of May. Both apps responded the same when I asked, “When is the Big Apple Circus playing Boston?” Siri and Google served up the Big Apple Circus website’s link as well as links to various ticket sites.
