Upcoming local dining events


MAY 1-7

A good meal at Lala Rokh (97 Mt. Vernon Street, Boston) is pleasure enough; add to it a good musical performance and you have yourself a great package. From May 1 through 7, the Beacon Hill restaurant offers "Food & Music To Please the Soul," a three-course dinner and reserved seating at the May 7 performance of the Back Bay Chorale, at which the group will perform Robert Schumann’s Das Paradies und die Peri, about Persian culture. The cost is $80, excluding alcohol; call (617) 720-5511 for reservations and information.

MAY 3

Allston isn’t just about students and bars. It’s also got its share of great food. Celebrate the area’s culinary breadth at the eighth annual Taste of Allston Village, held on May 3, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the DoubleTree Guest Suites (400 Soldiers Field Road, Allston). Sample cuisine from restaurants including Aneka Rasa, Big City, Grasshopper, Rangoli, Spike’s Junkyard Dogs, and V Majestic, and enjoy a cash bar, live music, and silent auction. The cost is $25 in advance and $30 at the door, and proceeds benefit Allston Village Main Streets, a nonprofit revitalization effort. Call (617) 254-7564 for information, or visit www.allstonvillage.com/events.html

It’s not only food that can be certified organic; wines can be made that way, too. On May 3, beginning at 6:30 p.m., Blu (Sports Club/LA, 4 Avery Street, Boston) offers the city’s first biodynamic-wine dinner, featuring wines that use organically grown grapes with few sulfites, along with a four-course organic menu from executive chef Tom Fosnot. The cost is $125, all-inclusive; call (617) 375-8550 for reservations and information.

MAY 3 & 5

You don’t have to be Mexican — hell, you don’t even need to know how to pronounce Cinco de Mayo — to celebrate the Mexican holiday on May 5. To get in the mood, head to 209 (209 Columbus Avenue, Boston) on May 3, when the restaurant hosts a pre–Cinco de Mayo Franciscan Wine Dinner beginning at 7 p.m. Chef Robert Martin will prepare an eight-course feast featuring spices and flavors indigenous to his native Texas and the Southwest. The cost is $50, not including tax and gratuity; call (617) 536-0972 for reservations and information.

On May 5 proper, head to the Independent (75 Union Square, Somerville) for the restaurant’s first Cinco de Mayo Tequila Dinner, featuring a margarita reception and four-course dinner. The cost is $35; call (617) 440-6022 for reservations and information.
