- Burn photos of your ex at brunch. Horses Thieves Tavern in Dedham is hosting its first annual Valentine’s Day-themed brunch this weekend. It’s called “Galentines Brunch + Bubbles + Burning Your Ex’s Photo” and participants can do just that — bring a photo of your ex to brunch and they’ll collect them in a basket and burn them in the restaurant’s fireplace. The festivities start at 11:30 a.m. 585 High Street
- Snag a special Super Bowl feast. Regardless of whether or not you’re tuning into the Game, a bunch of restaurants around town are offering fun Super Bowl food packages to jazz up any Sunday night spread. A couple of favorites: The hot chicken experts at Hot Chix are selling party packs of chicken sandwiches, wings, and their fan-favorite sides in bulk; Smoke Shop BBQ is running a four-flavor wing special at $18 per dozen; and Boston icon Slade’s has its famous fried chicken ready to go for takeout or dine in and enjoy live music throughout the afternoon.
