Takeout: Ristorante Lucia, with locations in Boston (415 Hanover St. at Harris Street) and Winchester (13 Mt. Vernon St. at Converse Place), replicates the North End’s summertime feasts with take-home kits. They’ll spotlight foods found at each event, from a Santa Lucia Feast with arancini and calzones to a Fisherman’s Feast with fried calamari and seafood salad. Meals are $30 per person; the restaurant donates $5 from each kit to the charitable organization that typically sponsors each feast.
