The weekend was the undisclosed tipster.
In honor of fall’s arrival, we’re stocking your cellar with some robust bottles of red wine for up to 53% off, framing your face with a new pair of glasses (or sunglasses) from Tortoise & Blonde for 40% off and getting you exclusive first dibs on a futuristic electric bike. BYO pumpkin pie.
Nantucket in the fall means fewer tourists, crisp air... and the perfect setting for pig carving. Enter the Hogtoberfest at American Seasons, accepting reservations now. In addition to the hog slicings from Cochon 555 champions, you’ll land pairings of charcuterie and beer, and end with a snout-to-tail dinner. BYO apple.
Power breakfasts. Sometimes they call for some pork-stuffed hash browns; other times they call for some deal-brokering over a bowl of Cap’n Crunch with raspberries. Good news: all of that is now available with the launch of Met Back Bay’s new breakfast menu. Get those contracts ready.
Admit it: ever since that ball went through Buckner’s legs in ’86, you’ve been dying for a documentary about sports scapegoats. You’ll get one at the Boston Film Festival, kicking off tomorrow, plus lots of director panel discussions, short films and probably an Ebert reference or two.
Brunch is like a pitching rotation, or sex: you can never have enough options. The newest option: the Salty Pig brunch, launching this Saturday with baked french toast and 11 types of salted pig parts. Because 10 types of salted pig parts would just be considered breakfast.
Best way to fuel up for the Pats game on Sunday: this massive outdoor BBQ in Somerville on Saturday. Think: local beers to start, then a smorgasbord of veggies and meats from Savenor’s of Vermont and a farm in Belchertown, MA. Fortunately, the beer isn’t from there.
