Your Perks: 1) A bottle of Lock Stock & Barrel 13 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey—arguably the most acclaimed new whiskey on the market. 2) 34% off a brilliantly simple wireless speaker. 3) Really exquisite vintage barware from the golden age of drinking. Your home bar deserves this.
They say you shouldn’t eat late at night. They also say bacon cheeseburgers are delicious. Related: Boston Chops is now serving burgers until 1am every night at the bar. They come in a variety of combos involving PBR, fernet or adult milkshakes. There’s a happy meal joke in here somewhere.
2,058 years ago, Julius Caesar was removed from office via knives. In commemoration, Union Square is turning itself into a Roman forum complete with toga fittings, a gladiator tournament and chariot races. And it all ends with a toga after-party at the Independent.
