1954-ish: John F. Kennedy tries the lobster stew at Locke-Ober. Describes it as his
favorite.
2012: Locke-Ober closes after 137 years.

adds a mini lobster roll, because why not.
Tonight: You eat it.
It’s almost Top Gun Day. Which isn’t a real holiday, but something we just made up as an excuse for you to buy new sunglasses. And look, Randolph Engineering is holding a sale at their HQ with up to 70% off their USAF-approved aviators and eyewear. Happy Top Gun Day.

This is strictly hypothetical, but let’s say Downeast Cider House is throwing a party to launch their new Hard Honey offering. There would probably be $2 cider pours. Maybe some ping-pong.

Cinco de Mayo is over a month away. But Cinco de Abril is in 48 hours. Better go find the nearest taco pop-up. Luckily, American Provisions is temporarily transforming from food shop to steak taco vendor that day. And giving out gratis beer samples from Notch. Free beer needs no holiday.
