The Weekender

Watermelons Full of Sangria and Other Fourth-Friendly Things

We hold this weekend to be self-evident.

How to Buy Katharine Hepburn’s House
HEPBURNING DOWN THE HOUSE

How to Buy Katharine Hepburn’s House

Katharine Hepburn. The woman knew a thing or two about being a mid-20th-century film titan. And building waterfront mansions in Connecticut, turns out. Case in point: her 1939 estate with a private beach and other Hepburn-like diversions is currently on the market. Okay, you can read other things now.

The Lunch Gods Look Kindly upon You

J.McLaughlin, Now 60% Closer to Free

If the packing list for your upcoming summer getaway doesn’t include things like linen gingham shirts, Nantucket-red skull pants and swim trunks covered in tiny surfers, J.McLaughlin is helping you correct that with up to 60% off of some summer wearables. By which we mean “clothes.”

Friday
Sangria-Filled Watermelons on a Roof
COME FOURTH

Sangria-Filled Watermelons on a Roof

Rooftop @ Revere is celebrating July 4 the same way our founding fathers did 238 years ago: by holding an all-weekend party with picnic baskets, a dollar-oyster bar and entire, hollowed-out watermelons filled with sparkling sangria. Okay, so that’s not historically accurate.

Jul 4, 11am-5pm, $20 (no cost 5pm-midnight); Jul 5-6, 11am-5pm, $30 (no cost 5pm-midnight), Rooftop @ Revere, 200 Stuart St, 617-457-2663

Sunday
Brunch: Now a Thing at Brass Union
BRASS CEILING

Brunch: Now a Thing at Brass Union

Some say the combination of chorizo omelets and oversize Connect Four can cure any morning-after woe. Except no one says that. But Brass Union just launched their brunch on a freshly minted patio full of games, so expect more of those things in your future. In case you weren’t already.
