Sonny's, the Exchange Street restaurant next to Post Office Park, is turning on free wi-fi tomorrow.
It may be considered rude to poach off your next-door-neighbor's wi-fi, but in its latest newsletter Sonny's is telling everyone hanging out in the park to "go right ahead." They even checked with the city to make sure it was OK.
Sonny's also announced (insert frustrated food writer's groan here) that they have a new, non-traditional lobster roll on the menu. It just so happens that my column in tomorrow's Food and Dining section (which has already gone to press) is about non-traditional lobster rolls and where you can find them.
The lobster roll sounds delicious: Maine lobster tossed with a jicama, fennel and avocado aioli on a homemade brioche bun.
