This fall weekend is offering an eclectic group of activities for you Watertownians. I didn’t find any local entertainment on Friday evening, so I suggest going out and enjoying one of our restaurants. There’s a new South Indian restaurant in town, Chennai Eats, on School Street. It looks delish.
Then Saturday you might want to return your overdue books to the Watetown Bookmobile at the Longfellow Rd. Block Party, or finally get yourself a library card. Then head over to Arsenal Yards for some afternoon brews at their Oktoberfest celebration. (Don’t ask why this Octoberfest is in September.) On Sunday morning there is a group bike ride in remembrance of those who have battled cancer or for those whose loved ones lost the fight. If your family celebrates Rosh Hashana, take your kids to a holiday-themed open playground party for crafts, activities and refreshments. Head home after that to relax and appreciate the peace we have in our lovely city.
