The Sox are playing in New York tonight, so you know what that means: there could actually be parking spots near Fenway. Ensure that you’ll get a good seat at Cask ’n Flagon (62 Brookline Avenue, Boston, 617.536.4840) by snagging tickets to their Summer Beer Dinner ($60) — a partnership with Harpoon Brewery featuring passed appetizers, a three-course meal prepared by executive chef Kurt Vogel, and Harpoon favorites like UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen and Harpoon Summer. After a dinner of blackened tuna salad, grilled London broil, and chocolate raspberry shortcake, place your bids in a silent auction for Red Sox swag, including a David Ortiz-autographed bat and J.D. Drew-autographed World Series photo. The proceeds benefit Mini Fenway Park — a scaled-down replica of the beloved ballpark for youth baseball and softball in Quincy — so bid like a heavy hitter. The reception begins at 6 p.m.; dinner follows at 7:30. Call 617.536.4840 for tickets.

For some women, their wardrobe staples are pretty basic: the little black dress, the perfect-fitting jeans, and a well-made leather bag. But others scoff at convention and are all about the clothes that make them feel powerful and sexy, without the rules. And that’s exactly why we appreciate Seduce & Destroy, the recently launched T-shirt collection from Todd MacLeod and Kim Harris, co-owners of LAB Boston (113 Brighton Avenue, Allston, 617.395.4330). The line is for confident women who like to rock casual, comfortable clothes with an urban sensibility — and a side of sass. The Seduce & Destroy woman, says Harris, is “one who could walk into a room and command respect, not yearn for it.” The simple-yet-statement-making shirts ring in at $30 each, which means they’re fashion-forward without the expensive pretense. Our personal favorite? The T emblazoned with “Fashion Fades, Only Style Remains.” We couldn’t agree more.
