Five Things You Need to Know Today: June 25
Aldermen committee meetings, a special beer dinner and info on a Newton restaurant renovating and possibly expanding.
1. O'Hara's closing soon for renovations. FYI: O'Hara's Pub will be closing temporarily the week of July 4 for renovations. In a brief interview with Patch correspondent Wendy Schapiro, Owner Karl O'Hara explained that the restaurant plans to raise and replace the ceiling with new mahogany. In addition, the restaurant will add new lights, a new air conditioner, new TVs for the bar and they're going to "update that pink color a bit," O'Hara said. The restaurant is also planning to expand into the space formerly occupied by Bead & Pearl, O'Hara said, but will not be before the Board of Aldermen for those permits until July 10. Stay tuned for more info!
2. Committee meetings. The Board of Aldermen's Finance Committee will meet jointly with the Programs and Services Committee tonight at 7 p.m. in room 222 at City Hall. To view the agenda, click the .pdf to the right.
3. Harpoon dinner. The Biltmore will hold a special Harpoon Brewery Dinner tonight at 7 p.m. The four-course beer dinner is $55 per person. For more information call 617-527-2550.

To defend my poor, overworked editor that mistake was ALL mine and *I* apologize to both Melanie AND Mr. O'Hara
