The weekend thought the storm was a bit of a fail.
You'll have plenty of time this weekend to shell out for romantic dinners. Bohemian tapas house Estragon knows this, and has decided to set your Thursday night up with music, dancing, complimentary wings, sliders and Lamb Empanadas, and $1 PBRs for an "Anti-V-Day" event. Which is just a fun way to say "free apps and cheap beer."
Central Bottle is known as a wine shop. Not one to be pigeonholed, they've created a one-night sake bar, replete with a sake education ambassador, who would probably hold a UN position if boozing was allowed. You'll want to graze on edamame and tuna sashimi as you sample $4 to $6 sakes from the vaunted Ichishima Brewery.
No one said there must be a connection between a holiday and the events celebrating it. So, there's a giant V-Day pub crawl through downtown this Saturday, whisking you through 11 bars over 12 hours. It's free to crawl, but with a $5 donation you can land gratis apps at different bars along the way. Then again, food may just slow you down.
If you're rocking it solo this V-Day, fear not. On Sunday, Diva Lounge is throwing a mega Bollywood-themed bash for all the single men and ladies of Boston (and their friends), packed with DJ-spun Bhangra beats and gratis apps like Indian chicken tenders and spicy samosas (potato pastries) the first hour. Slumdog dance numbers encouraged.
There are many ways to honor the American President on Monday. You could pore over biographies of JFK, LBJ and JKP (James K. Polk), or you could head to Casablanca for their skewered meat deal, where you can savor three skewers loaded with the meat of your choice (beef, chicken, lamb, shrimp) and three dipping sauces for $5. It's definitely what Lincoln would have done.
