The weekend is taking a bow.
This week, we’re hooking you up with: 1) One-of-a-kind watches from the golden age of watchmaking, exclusively available on Perks. 2) The world’s smallest earphones—used by the Secret Service and the FBI. 3) Gorgeously handcrafted, 22-karat-gold-inlaid pens—for 25% off. Your words are more powerful already...
It will please you to hear that Forum’s comeback status has officially been upgraded to “with a vengeance.” Well, they just started daily lunch, anyway. Counts, though. Still counts. Crab fritters.

Picture spending your Friday night on the fish pier, flanked by local culinary wizards from the likes of Puritan, Tavern Road, Tarranta and West Bridge. Who will be whipping up over 20 different takes on classic Boston seafood. Also picture live jazz. This. You’re picturing this. Onward.

Because live bands will be there playing music. Because that’s what live bands do.
