Last night, somewhere between placing my order and going to pick it up, it hit me: I should probably ease up on the takeout. Weekends are a free-for-all (and that’s not changing) but during the week, I could stand to show a little restraint.

If you’ve got any easy dinner ideas, send them my way. In return, I’ll upgrade your next night out to a hands-on cooking class with an Italian chef. Fair trade, right? Enter to win.

THE LOCAL’S LIST: KEVYKEVV WORLDWIDE

We found a way to be nosy and call it networking. The Local’s List is our weekly excuse to chat with cool people doing cool things around Boston. And if you’re into food and travel content, KevyKevv Worldwide is someone to know. He’s likely already been to the spot you’re about to Google (and probably a few you haven’t heard of yet).

THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY

• The first Saturday in May is a big deal in Charlestown. May Day is back with a free Pilates fusion class, a community clean-up, small business pop-ups and plenty of reasons to get outside.

• Roslindale is going full gyro this weekend: their Greek festival is packed with authentic eats, music and local vendors.
