Thursday Sips & Nibbles

I'm back again with a new edition of Sips & Nibbles, my regular column where I highlight some interesting, upcoming food and drink events. I hope everyone dines out safely, tips well and are nice to their servers.
******************************************************
1) Summer in New England wouldn't be complete without enjoying a Lobster Roll or two. Do you prefer warm, butter poached lobster or chilled lobster with a bit of mayo? Now through Labor Day, Banners Kitchen & Tap  has a compelling, and very reasonably priced, lobster roll special. Get one Northern Atlantic Lobster roll and a beer for only $20 or make it a double play and get two lobster rolls and a beer for $35. For the first few weeks, your beer choice will likely be a Narraganset or Gansett Del’s Lemonade Shandy

In addition to the lobster roll, Banners menu features upscale tavern cuisine, classic game-day menu staples, healthy alternatives, a children’s menu, and other dinner offerings. Banners offers 40 tap lines of local and regional craft beer, including fresh IPAs and barrel-aged stouts, which rotate frequently for a new selection upon each visit.

And on their regular menu, you'll find the following:
Connected Lobster Roll: Butter poached on a brioche roll & fries ($15).
Classic NE Chilled Lobster Roll: lemon garlic aioli, claw & knuckle, scallion, brioche bun & fries ($15) 

2) Calling all donut lovers! National Donut Day, with origins extending back to 1938, is approaching on Friday, June 7th, and Kane’s Donuts is ready to celebrate. With a purchase of a dozen donuts, Kane's will offer customers a small cup of Stella Blue Coffee and a donut. This will take place at all three of Kane’s locations. June will also see Kane's new monthly donut flavors.

3) On Friday, May 31, from 6:30pm-8pm, join Commonwealth Wine School as they join forces with Harvard Square's Oggi Gourmet for a spectacular food and wine pairing session. Guests will sample a range of treats created by Chef Steve and his team at Oggi Gourmet, along with matched wines, as participants learn the secrets of food and wine pairings from Commonwealth Wine School's own Adam Centamore. This evening of food and wine pairings will take place at Oggi Gourmet at 30 Dunster Street in Harvard Square, just across the street from Commonwealth Wine School 

Ticket Pricing includes $65 for a variety of wines, tasty treats from Oggi, and wine and food education from CWS. All participants must be at least 21 years old. Tickets can be purchased through Eventbrite
