The weekend has a good feeling about all this.
Sure, Faneuil Hall is home to ankle-busting cobblestones and throngs of tourists. But should you be on the hunt for a little après-work revelry in that area, starting today you can check out Anthem, the new bi-level house of beer, wood-fired pizzas and BBQ short ribs now open in the former Plaza III steakhouse.
Now that you can actually start sporting spring and summer threads on a regular basis, Uniform is taking 20% off all new gear in stock from Ben Sherman, Life After Denim and Smooth Company for one night. And fortunately for you, that one night is tonight. There's also free beer from Victory Brewing Co.
For four magical—and increasingly hazy—hours on Saturday, you can experience the all-you-can-eat-and-drink event known as SlowFest. You'll gorge at a leisurely pace on plates of soul food, artisanal cheeses and tapas, taking time to wash them down with endless two-ounce pours from brewers around the globe. And remember: there's no rush.
If the good weather has you conjuring up a voyage on the high seas, Courageous Sailing in Charlestown is offering you a borderline-unprecedented chance to sail for free off Pier 4. And just so you won't have to go foraging for seafood, they're throwing in a free BBQ feast to boot. Don't forget to exclaim, "I'm sailing! I'm sailing!"
Whether you're a child or an Italian restaurant, your 10th birthday is a big deal. Rustic staple Prezza has called in all their chef pals from the likes of Neptune Oyster, Nebo and Il Casale for the milestone, and the upshot for you is a steady supply of hors d'oeuvres and a fully exploitable open bar. No word on a clown who does balloon animals.
