Weekend Picks

November 15th

Eat:
It’s comfort food weather and we can’t think of a better place to fill up your belly than Franklin Southie.  Order up the Braised Short Rib or the Sweet Onion Mac n’ Cheese.  You’ll thank us later!

Drink:
Since we’ve said good-bye to the Quencher, we’ve been craving a good old-school Southie bar.  Belly-up to the bar at this local “hole in the wall”.   William’s Tavern has just the right amount of grit and coziness.  Expect a cast of characters at the bar, cheap drinks, and a great jukebox. 

Shop:
The shopping season is upon us, and South Boston boutiques have their doors wide open for business. Below is a list of locations in South Boston where shoppers can find merchandise to satisfy all recreational retail and holiday shopping needs:https://caughtinsouthie.com/shop/shopping-expedition

Thankful:
Gen Y – a new spiritual community in Southie – is having their Gen Y Fridays on Friday, November 15th from 6pm-8:30pm at Gate of Heaven (basement).  Come be reminded of the many things you have to be thankful for in your life.  Enjoy a panel discussion of guidance, tips and advice to stay focused on goals and how to truly enjoy life.  Bring snacks and drinks to share. 

Holiday:
Get in the spirit and get your home holiday ready at the Laboure Christmas Shoppe (275 West Broadway).  Chockfull of inspiring Christmas decorations and amazing gift ideas, the Christmas Shoppe will be open this weekend on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10a-4pm.  Stop by and check it out!

Support:
Mix and mingle with the movers and shakers of the Boston area who are trying to make students’ future a little brighter. The main goal of Operation Progress is to invest in students who otherwise might otherwise be denied an opportunity to succeed.  On Saturday, November 16th, Operation Progress is hosting a special event and fundraiser from 6pm-10pm at Julep Bar – 200 High Street.    There will be a silent auction featuring great items such as sports memorabilia, tickets and gift cards to local Southie favorites like Lincoln, Paramount and Local 149.
