DOWNTOWN — Because Wahlburgers wants to be all over television, all over the country (and Canada), and on wheels, here comes a temporary Wahlburgers food truck, popping up between Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on July 26, promoting the new season of the show. There will be free burgers and tots, cornhole, and the opportunity to make a shareable GIF of yourself eating a Wahlburgers burger so that Wahlburgers can be all over your friends' Facebook feeds, too.

ARLINGTON — You can find a beer dinner going on almost any night of the week somewhere in the Boston area, but how about a root beer dinner? On July 27 at 6 p.m., Tryst is celebrating Tower Root Beer, a company founded in Somerville 100 years ago that later closed due to competition from major soda companies. Tower's recipe had been locked up for decades, only to be recently resurrected by the third generation of the family. This is Tryst's fourth annual root beer dinner, and it includes three root beer-inspired courses for $34 (add $14 for optional root beer-inspired cocktail pairings.) Reservations are required; call 781-641-2227. [Official Site]
