TRINA'S STARLITE LOUNGE

SCENETRACKER
Going Mental

Yes, we're all feeling it right now—that Monday morning crash. Maybe you were out drinking 'til the wee hours every night this weekend, or maybe you were up reading Mansfield Park really late last night. Whatever it was, if your weekend is hitting you over the head in a bad way, we've got the solution: Tijuana Alarm Clock, Trina's Starlite Lounge's special recovery cocktail. It was offered off the menu last year for a while, and we thought it was discontinued, but apparently, they still serve this strange concoction of blanco tequila, orange juice, Worcestershire, Sriracha, raw egg, and Dos Equis, if you ask nicely, that is.

$50 Date Challenge: Boston Edition

You don't have to sacrifice quality when you head out with your new slim and trim budget for a $50 date. You just have to know where to go and what to get. Whether you like a cocktail, a carafe of wine, or you're "cleansing" your diet of alcohol in the new year, you will find an outing that will suit you. To help offset the cost of a night out, invite your date over for a glass of wine or a shaken cocktail before you head out. You can head over to The Boston Shaker for some cocktail tools and inspiration if you are new to the DIY bartending world.

Newest addition to Somerville's restaurant arsenal, Trina's Starlite Lounge, isn't your run-of-the-mill gastropub. Nothing about the restaurant is average. Conversely, you may drive by it without even noticing. But that's okay, because once you step inside, you will be taken in a time machine to the '50s.
