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) Scores – formerly The Four’s Restaurant & Sports Bar – is gearing up for March Madness with free Smashburgers as well as a collection of food and drink specials available for $5-and-under. Starting on Selection Sunday and lasting through the NCAA championship game, Scores will be dishing out three weeks of specials: a $1 basket of Old Bay chips; a half-dozen wings for $2 in a choice of BBQ, mango habanero or buffalo sauces; $3 Yuengling beers; $4 Narragansett cans; and $5 green tea shots. Scores also will open early at 11am during weekends throughout the tournament.

As the first and second rounds get underway from March 21-23, score big because the first 100 guests through the doors each day will chow down on a free smashburger served with chips. 

Headquarters for any basketball fanatic, Scores’ bilevel 6,300-square-foot space features 50 speakers and 33 big screen TVs as large as 98 inches. No matter where you are in Scores, you’ll be surrounded by an unrivaled memorabilia and jersey collection, including the famous villain wall, heroes from the Bruins, Celtics, Sox, Patriots, and more.

Food & drink specials: Available from March 16-April 7.
Free smashburgers: Available from March 21-23, to the first 100 guests of the day.
Scores will open early at 11am on tournament weekends.

2) On March 26, there will be a collaboration between ZURiTO (a Basque Pinto Bar & Restaurant) and Sushi @ Temple Records offering a unique Omakase dinner, bringing together the Basque flavors of  Chef Jamie Bissonnette, and the Edomae-style sushi of Executive Chef Kenta Katagai.  

The Omakase is available during two seatings at 6 PM and 8:30 PM, and guests will be able to enjoy bites highlighting Basque flavors and Japanese techniques across an eight-course menu, such as:
Tako “a la Gallega” featuring Spanish octopus, Manzanilla olive and yuzu kosho
Oyster Escabeche “Retro” with a sake-pickled oyster, hojicha, yuzu, and grains of paradise
Paella Don made with black rice, topped with uni and Hotaru Ika
Boquerone Nigiri made with white anchovy, wasabi and soy
Carabineiro Miso Sashimi
Zuke Chu-toro Sashimi with anchovy and conserva
And more!

Reservations can be made on Resy
