Take a spin out to the ‘burbs this weekend for Lincoln’s Winter Carnival, which starts on Friday, January 27th. The weekend-long event includes snow sculpture contests, winter fun at Drumlin Farm, snow shoe tours and community ice skating. Make a pit stop at Aka Bistro – for dinner or weekend brunch – part of your plan to try a little something from Chris Chung and Damian Brockway‘s winter menus and to check out the ice sculpture from their friend and colleague Chris Gould. The Uni chef, who’s got a little time on his hands while he waits for the renovations at Uni to wrap up, is an award-winning ice carver and will be displaying some of his handiwork on Aka’s front lawn. Book a table at Aka by calling 781.259.9920 and see the whole weekend’s worth of festivities here.
