PERKS OF YOUR BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY CARD

September 8th is National Literacy Day, the perfect time to shout out how awesome libraries really are. Your Boston Public Library card unlocks way more than books; we're talking museum passes, notary services, free events and even parking perks. Yes, really.

THIS WEEK

🥒 Get Pickled

Today-Saturday at Eastern Standard Kitchen (times vary)

The start of September is a big dill at Eastern Standard: it’s pickle week! Expect chef-led events, briny bites and a pickle run to wrap up the fun in Fenway.

🌯 Feast on $3.50 Burritos

Wednesday at Anna’s Taqueria (11AM)

Mark 30 years of a Boston classic with $3.50 burritos (retro pricing from when they opened in 1995). The first 50 customers at each location score a free anniversary tee.

🍩 Run for Donuts

Wednesday at Marathon Sports (6PM)

We’re not averse to running for fried food. Scarf down a donut hole every quarter mile, try the latest New Balance kicks and win donut-themed prizes.

🍺 Kick Off Boston’s Longest Oktoberfest

Thursday at Bronwyn (5PM)

This Somerville institution takes fest season very seriously: start seven straight weeks of Bavarian eats, brews and live music in Union Square on Thursday.

💃🏻 Dust Off Your Dancing Shoes

Friday at East Boston Memorial Park (3PM)

Kick off fall with some salsa (minus the chips). This free community dance party serves up live music and performances designed to keep you moving all night long.

LOCALS ONLY

  • Brighten up your Monday with climate activist Bill McKibben. He’s shining a light on the solar revolution and climate action tonight at WBUR CitySpace.

  • Networking doesn’t have to suck. Mingle with other young professionals and score snacks (and new friends) at tomorrow’s meet-up on the Common.

  • Your voice matters, so don’t skip voting in the preliminaries tomorrow. Find your polling location and show up to shape the future of your city.

  • We hate to rush things, but the summer drought put the trees on fast-forward: expect an earlier and shorter leaf-peeping window, with VT and NH (possibly) peaking by the end of the month.

Over and out, Boston!
