Wondering what to eat and drink in Boston this weekend? The Dish is a weekly guide to five things in the local restaurant and bar scene that are on my radar right now.Shoot me an e-mail at[emailprotected]to let me know what other dishes and drinks I should check out.

Call it Mamalehs 2.0: The Kendall Square delicatessen opened a second location this week in Brookline, operating daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1659 Beacon St. More Mamalehs, more excellent bagels and lox but also more of their fantastic sandwiches, like this vegetarian Reuben special thats running throughout August. Its got everything that a typical Reuben has rye bread, Russian dressing but the deli uses Mrs. Goldfarbs plant-based cornd beef instead of the usual corned beef. A portion of the sandwichs proceeds will go toward the Anti-Defamation League.

When I chatted with Dan Bazzinotti in June, the chef at Somervilles new Premiere on Broadway ran through a list of Italian-American dishes that he was planning to serve at the restaurant and live music venue. Among the carbonara and fresh pasta and mozzarella antipasti, Bazzinotti told me about his plans for dirty rice arancini, giving the classic Sicilian appetizer a Cajun spin (the chef spent some time cooking in New Orleans). Premiere on Broadway debuted on August 5, so now we can all try these fried mozzarella balls filled with expertly spiced rice.

Its been a while since Ive taken a shot via bone marrow luge, but after coming across JM Curleys new menu addition, I might have to get back in the game. The downtown eatery recently started offering a roasted bone marrow dish for lunch and dinner, complete with onion jam, pressed ciabatta, and decadent garlic butter. After you finish scooping out the rich bone marrow, order your shot of choice or maybe even a small glass of sherry and send it down the luge straight into your mouth.

One look at Lamplighters newest beer and suddenly Im in the mood for a huge slice of watermelon. The Cambridge brewery released Little Slice on Friday, a refreshing ale brewed with watermelon and Hll Melon hops. Its juicy, its sessionable (4.6 percent ABV), and its available both on draft and at Lamplighters retail counter. Bonus: There arent any seeds to contend with.

For the next two weeks starting on Sunday, more than 100 participating restaurants across the Greater Boston area will take part in Dine Out Boston, when multi-course lunches ($15$25) and dinners ($28$33) abound. The list can be a little overwhelming to choose from, but here are a handful of options that caught my eye: 50Kitchen in Dorchester will offer both lunch and dinner, and if you havent had a chance yet to try chef Anthony Caldwells chicken and waffle sliders or chicken satay with peanut sauce, now is the time. TsuruTonTan in the Fenway/Kenmore neighborhood specializes in udon, and during Dine Out Boston you can get a side of udon noodles with both the omakase dinner and the three-roll combo lunch. And because I can never say no to a great taco, Im planning to visit Para Maria, which started popping up at the Seaports Envoy Hotel in May. Both the three-course lunch and dinner menu feature tacos, but also patatas bravas and cheese and shrimp quesadillas.
