Weekend Picks – January 19th

Get some pizza!
Embark on a culinary adventure through East Boston’s vibrant pizza scene with our round-up of timeless favorites and innovative newcomers! From Santarpio’s iconic Boston-style slices to Woody’s wild Hot Cheetos menu, East Boston’s pizza culture is a journey best taken by the hungry. Check out our National Pizza Week Roundup here!
Brunch in the Neighborhood
From savory meals to sweet surprises (and much-needed hair of the dog), there’s something for everyone! Check out some of our favorite spots in East Boston for brunch here!
Caviar is back at EBO Grocery
After a long wait, EBO Grocery announced on Wednesday that “BOWFIN IS BACKKKKKK 💙” – Evidently, there was a shortage…a very long shortage…of Bowfin caviar! But now it’s back, and the refrigerator at the popular neighborhood spot is stocked with 4.4 oz and half kilo tins. Get the details here.
Detox + Reset
Take a heated infrared sauna at AXL! Create a weekly ritual that incorporates an intentional “reset” using our top-of-the-line sauna rooms and NormaTec Compression therapy available in studio. An infrared sauna is one of the most pleasurable and effective ways to support your immunity, deepen sleep, and boost skin and hemodynamic health. NormaTec Compression Therapy decreases inflammation and muscle tension to help you bounce back faster. It helps reduce your recovery time and increase your flexibility/range of motion.

Cocktails in a Speakeasy
Stop by Next Door – a very cool and chic speakeasy – and enjoy a cocktail or two. Next Door’s cocktail menu features creative and fun drinks, like the Queen of Hearts made with cherry-infused bourbon. You can check out the cocktail menu here!
Warm up with Heated Vinyasa at The Point Barre + Yoga
The studio will be heated to 80 degrees. Just like your traditional Vinyasa Flow, you will move through a series of poses intentionally sequenced to realign the body, reset the nervous system, and settle the mind. This class takes place on Saturday at 8:30am at The Point. You can sign up here!
