Your Perks: 1) 25% off tiny earphones that still let you hear the world around you. Your morning jog needs this. 2) An iPhone 5 case with four interchangeable, pro-grade camera lenses. 3) 36% off your supply of the electrolyte-packed, hangover-fighting LyteShow. Consider it your weekend’s new VIP.
Beacon Hill just got its very own nuttery. Which is just fancy talk for a new place with roasted nuts, wasabi peas and semi-exotic nut butters like pistachio and pecan. One man’s Portlandia sketch is another man’s real-life nut shop.
It’d be great if Florida sent us their weather. But they can’t. So they sent us one of their burger joints instead. It’s called BurgerFi, and it’s got (among other things) a burger with hash browns and a fried egg called the Breakfast All Day Burger. Most important burger of the day.
This new Fire & Ice festival in Union Square sounds like a good excuse to get a bunch of ice sculptors, fire spinners and an ice-cream-sandwich truck together in one place. So that’s what’s going to happen. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your day.

4) The presence of an entire brass brand.
A Mardi Gras plot if we’ve ever seen one.
