The weekend is a born coxswain.
This week’s Perks: 1) Impossibly handsome watches from the Stanton Watch Co. 2) 30% off the best damn coffee in the world, delivered. 3) 35% off your new cold-weather armor, a fully canvassed classic tweed jacket. Life is good with Perks...
There have been 47 Head of the Charles Regattas on record. Making number 48 great: the competitors. Oh, and the Luke’s Lobster pop-up, doling out amazing lobster, crab and shrimp rolls during the race this weekend. In short: your new reason for not competing.
Elsewhere on Saturday, you can find yourself awash in an array of new goodies from Eugene, Oregon’s, Will Leather Goods, who’ll be hosting a trunk show at Uniform for their new handmade-in-the-USA bags (think: all-Italian leather, rugged canvas). Oh, and gratis libations courtesy of Privateer Rum. Rum and leather: just another Saturday for you.
For the second time ever, the oenophiles over at Second Glass are hosting a little shellfish and wine shindig in the South End. Involving: oysters, an oyster-shucking contest and 20-minute crash courses in the Loire Valley’s best-known wine: Muscadet. It is Muscadet month, after all. No, really. It is. Look it up.
East by Northeast. West Bridge. Redbones. No, not a roll call of never-released John Wayne films, but a sampling of the Cambridge restaurants participating in the pitmaster-versus-pitmaster celebration of ribs on Sunday (with you eating a lot). Bonus: live bluegrass. Because... because it just makes sense.
The Sunday dinner dilemma: endless pasta, or not-endless pasta. Well, not much of a dilemma with Barbara Lynch’s über-luncheonette leadbelly-ing you up. You’ll devour an antipasto, then an all-you-can-eat pasta dish like bigoli and red gravy with meatballs, then a dessert. Good luck making it to the end.
