The weekend prefers drinking in a Santa costume.
Something about cold weather calls for steak, and Grill 23 has you covered with a new holiday lunch service from now until the 23rd. Their regular steakhouse menu is available, but the new prix-fixe featuring Colorado Mountain Trout and Prime Beef Burgers should do well to replace your typical tuna on rye.
Head to Mr. Sid's in Newton this weekend if you want to take advantage of the first days of their Platinum Sale, where you can land threads from their fall and winter stock at up to 50 percent off, like dress shirts from Brioni and Façonnable. Sadly, the savings don't extend to the in-house bar, which should be employed anyway.
Because you can never have enough art in your life, there's a new pop-up display featuring risqué work recently seen at the Art Basel show in Miami. The exhibit can be viewed from now until February, so you've got plenty of time to catch half-naked Japanese women lying on one another. On second thought, go now.
There's no reason why only one guy should get to don the red suit and trounce around the city this time of year. On Saturday, you can join a cavalcade of revelers ready to throw on their own Santa suit, pack a trusty flask (rules are rules) and embark on an epic Santa pub crawl. The journey starts at the Purple Shamrock and ends in Harvard Square…or whenever you feel you've reached optimal naughtiness.
Tupelo in Cambridge adds its uniquely Southern stamp to the weekend brunch ritual with a new syrup-drenched Sunday option, ensuring you have a place to go for Fried Chicken and Waffles and Biscuits and Gravy. Save time and prepare your after-brunch nap spot now.
