A Giant ICA Dance Party

Ah, the ICA. The paintings. The sculptures. The dancing. Yep: the ICA is throwing a Latin-inspired dance party featuring Latin American folk rhythms mixed with hip-hop and electronica. Make sure there’s room if you break out your capoeira moves.

Patio BBQing at OM

Ribs. Steak. Jerk chicken. Wild boar sausage. No, this isn’t a list of your breakfast this week. But it is what you can expect at the eight-hour outdoor BBQ that OM is throwing in Harvard Square. Everything is up for grabs à la carte–style, or in your case: “all-of-the-above”-style.

Aug 14, noon-8pm, cash bar, OM Restaurant, 92 Winthrop St, Cambridge, 617-576-2800

Monday
Taco-ing After Midnight
LATE NIGHT

Taco-ing After Midnight

The need for late-night-eats options never goes away. Neither does your love of tacos, empanadas, tableside guacamole and braised short rib taquizas. Starting Monday, you’ll procure such delights from Papagayo’s new late-night menu. Warning: this may lead to more late-night tequila-ing, too.
