I’ve got another short week ahead since my sister is coming to visit, so I’m already in long-weekend mode. Send me all your Newport recs, please and thanks. I haven’t been in years and need to know if Nitro Bar is still worth it.

But back to Boston recs: Tori Amos is in town later this month, and you could be there for free. Enter to win tickets.

THE BEST ROOFTOPS IN CAMBRIDGE

Summer's too short to settle for a parking lot patio. We rounded up seven local rooftops where you can grab a drink, catch a sunset and feel like you’re on top of the world. Or at least, on top of Cambridge.

THIS SUMMER

LOCALS ONLY

• Going back to work after the holiday weekend is a real buzzkill. Soften the blow with $2.50 beers, pouring now through July 15th in honor of America's 250th.

• Ready, set, search! A 250-ball scavenger hunt is taking over Allston tomorrow and every soccer ball is a winner, with prizes from Revival Cafe, Foxglove Terrace, The Atlas Hotel and more.
