The weekend thought the storm was a bit of a fail.
DRINKING
Anti-V-Day at Estragon
You'll have plenty of time this weekend to shell out for romantic dinners. Bohemian tapas house Estragon
knows this, and has decided to set your Thursday night up with music, dancing, complimentary wings, sliders
and Lamb Empanadas, and $1 PBRs for an "Anti-V-Day" event. Which is just a fun way to say "free
apps and cheap beer."

Central Bottle Goes Sake for a Night
Central Bottle is known as a wine shop. Not one to be pigeonholed, they've created a one-night sake bar,
replete with a sake education ambassador, who would probably hold a UN position if boozing was allowed.
You'll want to graze on edamame and tuna sashimi as you sample $4 to $6 sakes from the vaunted Ichishima
Brewery.

CRAWL
V-Day = Reason to Have a Pub Crawl
No one said there must be a connection between a holiday and the events celebrating it. So, there's a giant
V-Day pub crawl through downtown this Saturday, whisking you through 11 bars over 12 hours. It's free to
crawl, but with a $5 donation you can land gratis apps at different bars along the way. Then again, food may
just slow you down.

- Feb 13, 2pm-2am, $5, starts at The Greatest Bar, 262 Friend St, 617-367-0544
INDIA
A Bollywood V-Day Party
If you're rocking it solo this V-Day, fear not. On Sunday, Diva Lounge is throwing a mega Bollywood-themed
bash for all the single men and ladies of Boston (and their friends), packed with DJ-spun Bhangra beats and
gratis apps like Indian chicken tenders and spicy samosas (potato pastries) the first hour. Slumdog
dance numbers encouraged.

SKEWERED
Monday Meat-on-a-Stick Deal
There are many ways to honor the American President on Monday. You could pore over biographies of JFK, LBJ
and JKP (James K. Polk), or you could head to Casablanca for their skewered meat deal, where you can savor
three skewers loaded with the meat of your choice (beef, chicken, lamb, shrimp) and three dipping sauces for
$5. It's definitely what Lincoln would have done.
