The weekend has the fire, now it just needs some chestnuts.
Your everyday jeans need the proper everyday belt. Preferably handmade in a river... in Tennessee. Enter Cause and Effect, a line of such belts in colors available exclusively through Perks for 40% off. Your everyday jeans will not be disappointed.
Thursdays are for anticipating Fridays. But they’re also for billiards, gratis apps, blackjack and a scotch-stocked open bar. This is exactly what’s happening at Mr. Sid tonight. Plus, there’ll be a bona fide World Series of Poker dealer to answer all your Texas Hold’em questions. (No, this doesn’t include questions about Jennifer Tilly.)
Upon hitting their 135th year in existence, Locke-Ober had one thing on the brain: lunch. (You’ll understand when you turn 135.) So from now until Christmas, you can enjoy limited-edition lunch service with items like Braised Short Ribs, Weiner Schnitzel and escargot. Because snails are timeless.
Here’s a reason to try to survive the frigid cold this weekend: the Island Creek Oyster Bar now has brunch. Think Lobster Omelets, BBQ Glazed Shrimp, Grafton Cheddar Burgers and a monstrous brunch raw bar. That should be enough to pull you from under your bearskin duvet.
When you turned five, you got a dinner featuring Warm Pickled Quail, Razor Clams with Bacon and Duck Liver Parfait. Oddly enough, this is also what Toro is doing for their five-year anniversary, complete with a Next Iron Chef finalist in the kitchen. There'll even be an after-party. No bouncy castle though.
The old Southie: parochialism, deep-rooted Irish heritage, the ghost of Whitey Bulger. The new Southie: all that, plus a killer new gourmet grocer open this Monday, featuring everything from fresh organic meats and charcuterie to homemade condiments and artisan cheeses. Don’t worry, the throngs of double-parked cars will still be everywhere.
