This week, Perks is getting you 33% off slyly handsome summer neckwear from Artfully Disheveled. Plus: 25% off the world’s tiniest waterproof MP3 player. And a $21 set of indestructible shot glasses welded from steel. Your summer needs this.
Rolling Stone. Vanity Fair. Concord, MA. What they have in common: they’ve all featured the photos of Annie Leibovitz, now that her new exhibition, Pilgrimage, opens today at the Concord Museum. You’ll see the homes of Pete Seeger and Eleanor Roosevelt, plus Gettysburg and Old Faithful. No, Mick Jagger won’t be there.
If you’ve ever craved the UK version of a calzone, you’re in luck. A tiny, fast-serve joint doling out authentic British-style pastries (think: lamb shepherd’s pie, chicken curry, ham and gruyère) has just opened on the strip for those unusually frequent meat pie yearnings.

Sadly, you missed the entry cutoff for tossing your super-custom, F-18-engine-powered catamaran in the Extreme Sailing Series.

Which gets us to Sunday’s afternoon of all-you-can-eat chowder from purveyors like Nix’s Mate, Scholars and Ipswich Clambake Company. Our record: 18 bowls. Consider that a challenge.
You’ve seen the American cut of 1954’s Godzilla. But if you’ve never watched the original, moodier Japanese cut, complete with heavier warnings of the evils of nuclear weapons, you can catch it on Monday. It even has the original restored Japanese score. Expect a little crazy.
