Crullers, natural wine, and a dinner combining flavors from Somerville and Cambridge headline a tasty mid-summer week in the Boston metropolitan area. New Yorkers are already fans of Danny Meyer’s Daily Provisions.

Now Boston is taking the first step: the all-day café opens today, Monday, July 21, at 1 Brattle Square in Harvard Square, offering free crullers to early birds who are among the first 100 customers.

Daily Provisions brings beloved New York crullers to Harvard Square today, July 21

Say goodbye to the fear of missing out, doughnut lovers. The shop’s maple and cinnamon crullers share the spotlight with bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches at breakfast, while roast chicken, salads, and stacked sandwiches take center stage until closing at 9 p.m. each night. The Cambridge location is the tenth Daily Provisions in the country and the first outside of New York and New Jersey. Can you taste the expansion?

This Sunday, July 20, at Masseration, there was a four-hour celebration of natural winemakers from the East Coast. Admission was $58 and included tastings from 17 producers, live music, and an afternoon in the countryside at the future vineyard of Marzae Wines, the state’s first natural winery. In addition, Third Time Together offered appetizers to delight the palate.
