Polka Dog party
This evening, Polka Dog Bakery fetes its new Jamaica Plain store with a grand opening party from 6 to 9 p.m. Items will be 10 percent off during that time, making it a good chance to pick up some food and treats. We hear there will be polka dancing, too, for those so inclined. Polka Dog Bakery is at 42 South St., Jamaica Plain, 617-522-1931. www.polkadog.com
