Hit Wicket Grand Opening; Boston JerkFest

INMAN SQUARE — It's been softly open for a few weeks now, but cricket-themed Hit Wicket celebrates its grand opening tonight from 5:30pm to 11:30pm. Learn about cricket, eat a free appetizer, and mingle with Cambridge city officials. (Update: This event actually took place yesterday, so go there for dinner tonight, but don't expect free stuff. Sorry.) [Eventbrite]

SEAPORT DISTRICT — Michael Serpa of Neptune Oyster speaks at the ICA's Talking Taste series tonight at 6:30. Joanne Chang, Will Gilson, and Jackson Cannon are on the docket for the rest of the summer. [ICA]

SOUTH END — If you like spicy and/or Caribbean food, you're in luck. The Boston JerkFest celebrates both tomorrow at the Benjamin Franklin Institute Technology, featuring local and international goods. [Official Site]
