The weekend is working on its night moves.
Your weekly Perks: 20% off some handmade sunglasses (with gratis shipping, of course); an exclusive portable (yet powerful) grill; and a Bluetooth-enabled thermometer for controlling that grill... from your couch. Summer just got extra Perky...
Dionysus. God of wine. Role model to Jim Morrison. Star of Oberon’s immersion-theater show called The Bacchae. Grab a table. Watch people play weird drums and be all art-y. You may even be ensconced by a flock of feral priestesses at some point. Don’t worry, you’ll know when.
If you head into Davio’s right now and ask for a housemade adult granita, they’ll give that to you. Passion fruit with Grand Marnier. Prickly pear with tequila. Just say the word. They’re available through August. Because after that, it starts getting cold and it makes no sense to drink granitas.
Burt Lancaster. Guy really knew how to make a Field of Dreams cameo. Wasn’t too shabby in like... a million other movies, either. Related: the Harvard Film Archive is screening his legend-building body of work through September. Except that Field of Dreams cameo, but you’ve already seen that a million times anyway.
If you think Puritan & Company should start serving brunch this Sunday, raise your hand. Hold on while we get a count. Okay, that’s enough hands. They’ll do it. Hope you like Boston cream donuts, ham-and-cheese cheddar-biscuit sandwiches and pancakes. And fake hand-counting scenarios.
So there’s this four-course Bully Boy Distillers dinner at Saloon on Tuesday. It’s where they pair their American oak-aged whiskey with pork shoulder, their just-released Boston rum with espresso panna cotta, and you with Tuesday night plans. That never happens.
