The weekend always appeals for unity.
This is it. The big showdown—the one between your chips and your salsa. So Perks is setting you up with 30% off six chip-enhancing salsas from the Brooklyn Salsa Company. Imagine what a little curry salsa could do for your guac...
Just because your dates generally go late into the night doesn’t mean dinner and a movie is off-limits. From now until March, E Street screens movies every weekend at midnight.

Think of this as a farmers’ market with fewer rules. And more drinks. A gaggle of vendors are assembling at Kushi (which will helpfully have its bar open) to hawk stuff like gourmet pickles, BBQ, cupcakes, sweet potato butter, ginger beer and something called Holy Hell Pepper Sauce.
Sometimes the weekend just isn’t long enough for all the smoked meat you’d like to consume. Enter Meat Week, here again with seven days of Super Bowl pregame at area BBQ joints like American Ice Co., Capital Q and Mr. P’s Ribs, who holds court at a Safeway parking lot. So you can stock up on napkins, too.
Not since you saw Kelly LeBrock in Weird Science have you been as fascinated with bellies as you will be on Monday, when the beer temple serves up five courses of bellies, from crudo of tuna belly to pasta with goat belly ragout. You’ll have beer paired to each course. Then you’ll wear a bra on your head.
It’s two months until Nationals opening day. Until then, tide yourself over with this beer-and-dog deal: a half-smoke from Red Apron Butchery (dressed with chili and cheddar cheese or sauerkraut and ketchup onions) and a can of Moo Thunder Stout. Feel free to bring your scorebook anyway.
