HOT PINKY

Local 149: Now a Classic Deli

If you feel like you need a bit more classic deli in your life, Local 149 in Southie is now offering an upscale take on the old-school diner. Think: classic deli sandwiches (BBQ pork cheek sliders, peppercorn turkey sandwiches with bourbon bacon) and even Venison Chili Dogs. Mmm... deer.

411:: Mon-Fri, 11am-4pm, Local 149, 149 P St, 617-269-0900, see the menu

FREE LOAD

Drinking for Gratis Apps

For years you’ve been saying, “I should really get some free apps for all the drinking I do.” Your cries have been heard. For two hours between Tuesday and Sunday, order a drink at the bar at Ristorante Damiano and land some nightly changing apps (arancini, calamari cannellini bean stew). Finally.

411:: Tue-Sun, 4-6pm, Ristorante Damiano, 307 Hanover St, 617-742-0020

INKLING

Attention: Free Tattoos in Allston

Free tattoos. Like unicorns and bipartisan politics, long thought to be a myth. But stop by Regeneration Tattoo on Saturday and any of the artwork from Sailor Jerry himself (the guy the rum is named after) will be needled into your flesh—free. There might even be rum involved...

411:: Dec 10, noon-9pm, Regeneration Tattoo, 155 Harvard Ave, Allston, 617-782-1313, RSVP here

BAD KNITS

Scotch. Cigars. Sweaters. Let’s Rock.

When one has an ugly-sweater stockpile as you do, one looks to show it off. Enter Blue Inc., which is throwing a four-course (think: blueberry-glazed baby back ribs), scotch-paired, cigar-accented ugly-sweater party and dinner this Monday night. It’s time to go full Cosby.

411:: Dec 12, 6pm, $50, Blue Inc., 131 Broad St, reserve at 617-261-5353

LUNCHABLES

Your New Burgers and Dogs Depot

You’ve been good. You deserve something. We’re thinking Griddler’s, your new house of burger and hot dog worship, opening Monday. Your new lunch options: a Griddler’s Burger Box (four burgers and waffle fries) or a baked-beans-and-BBQ-sauce Boston Dog. These are also good late-breakfast options.

411:: Opens Dec 12, 11am-11pm, Griddler’s, 204 Cambridge St, 617-973-0408, see the menu
