You have a collect call from the weekend. Do you accept the charges?
Your Perks: 1) A one-month supply of brain-enhancing pills that might make you (even more) of a genius. 2) 30% off a trove of incredibly handsome watches from Italy. 3) A snow-globe-size wireless speaker that’s brilliantly simple to use. Just keep Perking...
Pauli’s is rolling out a takeout platter representing each Final Four region. You’ve got California wraps for the West Coast, fried-chicken sandwiches for the South, steak-tip wraps for the Midwest and ratatouille for the Northeast. Just kidding, it’s lobster rolls.
Say hello to Grill 23’s just-reopened, completely overhauled bar. It’s got:
—A semi-futuristic, solid-glass back bar.
—A new cocktail list full of housemade vermouths and fennel vodka.
—A first-ever bar menu with burgers and Scotch eggs.
Nice to meet you, too, bar.
Swing dancing inside a castle full of pre-WWI automobiles sounds like the next Wes Anderson project. But it’s not. It’s your Friday night. Cocktails, a museum tour and swing dance lessons are all part of this little soiree at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum. Somebody really thought this through.
Where you’d like to be right now: Brazil.
Where you are right now: Boston.
What you can do about it: Get yourself an affogato and a smoked-salmon sandwich at the
first US location of this São Paulo coffee conglomerate called Sofá.
Problem sort of solved.
