Sept. 16--Get a $5 lunch and tacos galore the weekend of September 18-20, 2015:
DO MORE!
Taco, burrito! Actually, just the taco part -- but there'll be plenty of them at Sam Adams' third annual Lakeview Taco Fest. About a dozen local restaurants, including Newport Bar Grill, D.S. Tequilla Company, Dive Bar and Beat Kitchen, will hawk everything from pork and steak to goat, tequila shrimp and andouille sausage on a tortilla. Meanwhile, Sam Adams will have at least a dozen beers on tap. Also expect a line-up of live music, a mariachi band and activities for kids. A suggested $8 donation at the door benefits the Lakeview Chamber of Commerce. Sept. 19, 11 a.m. -- 10 p.m.; Sept. 20, 11 a.m. -- 9 p.m. Southport Avenue between Addison and Roscoe streets. www.lakeviewtacofest.com.
SPEND LESS!
Re-fuel with a $5 lunch from Protein Bar. The fast-casual eatery is teaming with UberEATS to preview its new El Verde Bowl before it hits the fall menu. The dish mixes chicken with hemp seed, roasted poblanos, onions and three new sauces: salsa, tomatillo salsa and a chipotle Greek crema. To make the deal sweeter, UberEATS is waving the delivery fee for this item only, with the promise food will arrive within five minutes. Sept. 18, 11 a.m. -- 2 p.m. Order via UberEATS within the Uber smartphone app. www.theproteinbar.com.
