Weekend Happenings

There is so much going on this upcoming weekend with the Boston Marathon and Indigenous Peoples’ Day and some fun happenings from Night Shift Brewing, Time Out Market Boston and Krasi.

To celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Night Shift Brewing is releasing Blueberry Piescraper, a Maine Blueberry Ale with marshmallows, spices and vanilla. How many pies make a piescraper? Night Shift Brewing couldn’t agree on an answer so they made this blueberry pie inspired beer instead. This ale was brewed with blueberries from the Passamaquoddy Wild Blueberry Co., owned by the Passamaquoddy Tribe in Maine. Night Shift Brewing is proud to partner with the Passamaquoddy Wild Blueberry Co,, a company committed to employing Tribe members and preserving the tradition and culture of using the land’s natural resources to sustain the communities they live and work in. This beer will be available in Night Shift Brewing’s taprooms only.

Michael Schlow’s Italian Kitchen is hosting the ultimate carbo loading feast on Sunday, October 10. For one day only, guests can indulge in a double portion of the James Beard Award winner’s pasta dishes for the price of one. Choose from options like Fettuccine Alfredo “Vero”, Fresh Spaghetti with San Marzano tomato and basil sauce, Fresh Tagiliatelle Pasta with wild mushrooms, truffle and parm, Rigatoni with Spicy Sausage Ragu and Shrimp Scampi with fresh spaghetti.

The Back Bay’s hot spot for meze + wine is also one of the most creative weekend brunch destinations. And in honor of the Boston Marathon, they are extending brunch service to Monday, October 12 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Stop by for celebratory treats with Greek flavors like Aphrodite’s Bellini, the Krasi Mimosa with mango and dill, Baklava Muffins, or the Greek version of French Toast with Tsoureki bread, merenda (Greek nutella) kataifi, Metaxa glazed apples and whipped cream.
