For weekend of March 23rd
Eat:
Tricks of the TRADE. This casual yet impressive restaurant opened up this past fall on the ground floor of historic Russia Wharf and it’s bringing a fresh, local taste to the Fort Point neighborhood of South Boston courtesy of Chef Jody Adams. Trade (540 Atlantic Ave.) is the perfect spot to meet for drinks and share some small plates.
Drink:
AMC’s Mad Men finally returns after a much too long hiatus. On Sunday, March 25 reconnect with Don Draper, Betty, Joan and the rest of the gang during their fifth season 2-hour premier. The 1960’s drama begins at 9pm. Mix yourself up and old fashioned or a whiskey sour and enjoy. If you’re feeling ambitious, throw a Mad Men cocktail party. https://caughtinsouthie.com/feature/mad-men-returns
Shop:
Just in time for spring, new denim. Ku de Ta (663 East Broadway) has new Joe’s Jeans in the very sexy slightly high waisted and slighty cropped skinny. The dark wash looks spring-time fresh and on-trend with a pretty feminine blouse tucked in. Now available for $178 but hurry they sell out fast!
Bunny hop:
