TASTE OF THE BACK BAY
Where/When: Prudential Skywalk, Thursday, 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
Why Go: Um, yeah. An $85 ticket sounds a little outrageous (and they’re jacking it up to $100 if you wait to buy at the door!), but when you consider that a portion of the proceeds goes to benefit Women’s Lunch Place and that you’ll get to sample food, beer and wine from over 30 of Boston’s best restaurants, it doesn’t sound quite so bad. Purchase tickets here.
Pricing: $75 for NABB members, $85 for nonmembers, $100 at the door
FRESH FRUIT IS SPOILED ROTTEN! VARIETY SHOW
Where/When: Club Café, Friday & Saturday, 7:30 p.m., Sunday, 2 p.m.
Why Go: We think Fresh Fruit says it best: “If you have any predilection towards the politically incorrect, over the top costuming, or beautiful women that are really mediocre looking men, then ‘Fresh Fruit is Spoiled Rotten’ was made for you!” Show runs through April 30. Tickets available here.
Pricing: $25
PURSES, PEARLS & BOWTIES TEA
Where/When: Four Seasons Hotel Boston, Saturday, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Why Go: Benefiting Starlight Children’s Foundation New England, this tea offers three of our favorite things in one afternoon: crafts, cupcakes and dressing up for a Victorian family portrait. That one’s going on the mantle. Purchase tickets here.
Pricing: $55 for adults, $25 for children, $500 for table of 10
iCHASE THE CURE 5K
Where/When: The Esplanade, Saturday, 12 p.m.
Why Go: iChase the Cure is 5K walk/run to benefit the PLGA Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for childhood brain tumors. Your registration donation provides you access to face painting, food, drinks and, perhaps best of all, a free American Apparel t-shirt. Nice! Register online here.

POP UP RESTAURANT AT MIZU SALON
Where/When: Mizu Salon, Saturday, 7:30 p.m.
Why Go: Obviously we should have Googled pics of Mizu before we turned our noses up at the idea of dining in a salon. The place is gorgeous and we’re betting Chef Louie DiBiccari of Sel de la Terre will have no problem providing dishes elegant enough to compliment Mizu’s memorable design. Tickets are going fast—buy yours here.
Pricing: $100
