The weekend is almost ready to start resolution-ing.
Huge things are happening in 2013. We’re getting you smart-looking stuff from Cole Haan—thanks to 25% off their entire online store. You’re also getting 60% off dapper dress shirts from the legendary Drake’s London, and 30% off footwear from the British gods of shoemaking, Grenson. See: huge things.
Rejoice: Bay Village sandwich emporium Mike & Patty’s has reopened after an extended closing. And this weekend, they’ll have gratis donuts, along with a few special guests, like cast members from Wicked Tuna, and even a Blue Man Group guy. We’re assuming he’ll be the one in blueface.
You sent a work email on Christmas. You deserve something. Try this: the new Gentleman Essentials spa packages at the Mandarin, with everything from an invigorating man-facial to a four-hour series of energy-boosting treatments like foot and Oriental massages. Even a gentlemanly manicure. Never neglect the cuticles, people.
If your 2013 resolutions list had “Finally read Moby-Dick,” you have two options. Read it yourself, or attend the live cover-to-cover reading of Melville’s classic, conducted by several readers (Moby-Dick scholars) over 25 consecutive hours. Thankfully, nobody has tried this with Fifty Shades of Grey yet. Awkward.
Sundays in this cold: made for long couch sessions. Or a three-course meal with a hot item (say, rock shrimp tempura), sashimi and a dessert, topped off with a glorious sake bomb. They’re also doing them on Mondays and Tuesdays as well. Sometimes the couch is just too comfy...
Hockey and pizza. Mother’s milk. So you might like Ducali on Tuesdays, when you’ll be treated to classic Bruins games and college hockey action on their flat-screens all night, plus the pie that was the runner-up at the calzone-dethrone event at Restaurant Dante, Lobster Pizza. Stop breathing so heavy.
