With baseball season underway, restaurants around the city are lining up their own rosters of Red Sox–themed specials.
Todd English’s Bonfire in Park Square loads the bases with items like Sean Casey-dillas ($9), Jacoby Beef Sliders ($15) and Big Papi Poppers ($10) – fried jalapeños with smoked cheddar and lime sour cream – that are offered every game day during baseball season.
Boston Beer Works, at the Fenway and West End locations, hits a line drive with Fenway American Pale Ale on tap ($4.75 for 12 oz., $5.75 for 22 oz.).
And The Bristol at the Four Seasons smacks a home run in the Back Bay with its highbrow take on park treats: blue-cheese-stuffed Green Monster Olives ($15), Papelbon’s All-star Popcorn ($13) and creative cocktails like the Tickle-Ortiz-Me (Bacardi with passion fruit, orange and pineapple juices, and dark rum; $15), the Manny-Tini (Grey Goose vodka, splash of Tio Pepe sherry and olives skewered with a sprig of rosemary; $15) and the Sweet Caroline (Stoli Raz, raspberry purée, lime juice and club soda; $15).
