The weekend is the third host of the Oscars.
Northern Bites
Half-Off Apps at North 26
Just one day separates you from the weekend, and if you drop by North 26 tonight you can revel in the fact
that Friday draws near while scoring half off their entire bar menu. Little JohnnyCorn Dogs and
Truffled Mac'n'Cheese Shots for $2.50 may not bring some much-needed sunshine, but they tend to
brighten your post-work night.
ENVELOPE PLEASE...
Sorta Black-Tie Oscar Party at Lucca
Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin aren't the only Oscar hosts with moxie. Lucca Back Bay is hosting a semiformal
viewing party of the Academy Awards on Sunday, featuring gratis champagne, passed amuse-bouche, a swag
raffle, bottles of vino and dinner gift certificates for the best dressed, before a DJ closes down the
party. No speeches, please.
- 411:
- Mar 7, 7pm-1am, $25, Lucca Back Bay, 116 Huntington Ave, 617-247-2400
SLIDERS
$2 Burgers at Sel de la Terre
Mondays are hard. Sel de la Terre knows this, so they have implemented a slider menu just for you, where $2
can land you juicy New England ground beef patties with Vermont cheddar, aioli and house-smoked bacon.
Should you be in a croquette mood, those are up for grabs for $5 as well. Let the new week begin.

- Mondays, 5-7pm, Sel de la Terre, 774 Boylston St, 617-266-8800, see the menu
CINEMA
Free Beer, Burritos and Movies
The Boston Underground Film Festival will soon land in Kendall Square. To ready you for the cinematic
treasures to come, there's a preview party going down Tuesday, packed with free beer and burritos for the
first hour, giveaways (DVDs, T-shirts, sex toys...the usual), and some short films and trailers from the
upcoming festival. It's like Sundance, only no Robert Redford.
- 411:
- Mar 9, 6-8pm, no cost, Stuart Street Playhouse, 200 Stuart St, 617-426-4499
TASTY
45 Restaurants and You
There is a direct relationship between the number of restaurants you dine at on any given night and your
overall satisfaction. On Tuesday, you'll have 45 to sample from, including South End faves Masa, Toro,
Stella and Mistral. And should VIP status be in the cards (as it normally is), you'll get early entry,
gratis bubbly and access to the after-party at the Beehive.
