Cheesesteaks come to High Street Place; Boston Public Market gets a beer truck

Plus ramen, intestines, and midcentury caviar.

A cheesesteak from Hall Pass.

Openings: The breakfast-sandwich wizards behind Mike & Patty’s will turn their stall at Boston’s High Street Place (100 High St.) into Hall Pass each afternoon at 4 p.m., slinging Philly-style cheesesteaks with “white wiz” cheese, using sub rolls from their sister bakery, Newton’s Flourhouse Bakery. Pair your steak with a variety of fries: ranch, garlic parm, Cajun, or bacon cheese.

Dave’s Hot Chicken opens its second Massachusetts location in Woburn (300 Mishawum Road) on Friday, July 29. The California-based poultry purveyor serves chicken tenders with heat levels ranging from “no spice” to “reaper,” plus fries, kale slaw, and mac and cheese. Get your fix Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. until midnight. There’s another outpost in Newton.

From Monday, Aug. 8, until Monday, Aug. 22, try oysters and caviar with potato foam (on the menu in 1935), herb-crusted rack of lamb with poached radishes and pea puree (a favorite in 1938), and angel food cake with vanilla bean chantilly (a 1940 specialty).
