Cookies, Vinyl and Tapas, Oh My

A timeline for Black Friday at Tres Gatos:
10am: The tapas joint/record store opens seven hours early. Offers discounts on rare vinyl like Miles Davis on mono.
2pm: Bar opens. Cava breaks ensue.
10:37pm: Yep, still there. Because so is more cava and gratis vinyl-themed cookies. Oh, the vinyl-themed cookies.

Nov 29, 10am-11pm, Tres Gatos, 470 Centre St, Jamaica Plain, 617-477-9209

A Hot Chocolate Pop-Up at the Revere

What’s not happening at the Revere: Swiss Miss. What is happening at the Revere: a hot chocolate pop-up every Friday through December, manned by a rotating cast of Boston chefs bringing their own recipes like Boozy Candy Cane Cream Pie. Yes, that happens in a mug.

Fridays through Dec 27, 3-6pm, Revere Hotel, 200 Stuart St, 617-482-1800

Park Has a NSFW Brunch Cocktail Now

There are brunch cocktails you order in polite company, and brunch cocktails you order in less polite company. The Mary and a 3-Way would be the latter. It’s a bacon-infused mezcal number at Park’s newly minted brunch. Feel free to order the bacon pancakes with it. Feel free to do that.

LATKES TO THE KINGDOM

An Hour’s Worth of Free Latkes

There are 8,760 hours in a year. And just one hour in which a stand will be dispensing gratis latkes with homemade applesauce and sour cream in Harvard Square. Yeah, it’s not fair. But 60 minutes is 60 minutes.

Your Bottled-Negroni Dreams, Realized

“Negronis are fine in a glass,” you said. “No,” responded the Kirkland Tap & Trotter. And then they bottled up a batch of carbonated Negronis and poured one for you. “Great,” you said between sips. “This happens every Monday,” they replied. This is a nonfiction story, by the way.
