How ’bout this weekend vortex.
Your Perks: 1) 20% off a USB-powered device that turns any flat surface into a touchpad mouse. (Yes, including your desk.) 2) Aerodynamic umbrellas that can withstand gale-force winds. 3) A wearable camera that uses sensors to take the perfect shot. It’s the third eye you didn’t know you wanted.
Turns out, that polar vortex thing is still a thing. Luckily, Louis has activated their winter sale, with discounts of 30% on dapper provisions like Kiton shirts and Belvest suits. Which probably won’t make you much warmer. Definitely more handsome, though. Which still applies to vortexes.
There’s a ski bash happening tomorrow night at Harp. It’s called Ski Bash. But it doesn’t involve actual skiing. Because it’s hard to ski when you’re drinking frosty pints of Long Trail and eating beer-marinated English muffin Shed Burgers. So you’ll just do that instead.
Wanted: DooWee & Rice. Last seen at their now-closed Porter Square restaurant. But they’re rumored to be hiding out at Wonder Bar for Saturday’s playoff game, waiting to inflict pork bao and chili garlic wings on unsuspecting Pats fans. Better go bring them to justice.
You’re outside. It’s cold. You need shelter. And someone to pass you a platter of baked chicken and potato gratin. The Artisan Bistro at the Ritz feels the same way, which is why they’re starting a weekly series of family-style Sunday suppers. Just like home, if you lived in a Ritz.
The Schlowburger: a wild burger known for its distinctive toppings of creamy horseradish and onion straws, thought to be extinct since Radius closed in June. But the Enoteca at Via Matta will have them in captivity for the next two weeks only. Presumably so you can make them extinct again.
