Skip the trip down south and get your Fat Tuesday fix at Arlington’s Menotomy Grill & Tavern where chef Greg Boschetti is rolling out a whole menu’s worth of Mardi Gras specials. Swing by between 5:00 and 9:30pm to partake in some NOLA-inspired a la carte treats like fried oysters with smoked paprika aioli and pickled jalapenos, lobster etouffee with lobster, crawfish tail and chorizo and chicken gumbo made with chicken thigh, andouille sausage and shrimp. There’ll be king cake and plenty of sazeracs too to round out (and booze-up) your evening. Scope out the whole spread (which will be available in addition to the regular menu) below and book your table online here or by calling 781.648.1775 for some big NOLA flavor up north.
