EAT
Aug. 29: The Salad Lady Pop-Up
Don’t Know Tavern, 1453 Light St. 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Free.
All summer long, Don’t Know Tavern has been hosting a rotating cast of local eateries for its community pop-up series, but this weekend’s guest chef might be the one to beat. A true staple of the JFX Farmers Market, The Salad Lady will spend Saturday afternoon slinging her homemade seafood, chicken, and whitefish salads out of the Federal Hill spot for hungry bargoers and loyal followers alike. The Salad Lady is known for selling out of everything fast—including the stand’s signature egg and potato salads—so make your lunch plans accordingly.

Old Line Spirits, 200 S. Janey St. 6-9 p.m. Free.
This Friday, Old Line Spirits is throwing a Hawaiian luau in honor of all of the tropical vacations and beach trips not taken during this unprecedented summer. Don your best Jimmy Buffet-inspired attire and head to the Highlandtown distillery for a night of tiki cocktails and fusion barbeque eats from local eatery Jurassic Pork. Pro tip: There is an admission cap to maintain safe social distancing, so get to the luau early to guarantee a Mai Tai or two.

Checkerspot Brewing Company, 1399 S. Sharp St. 7-10 p.m. $12-15.
