Mon. Jan. 8

Dick's Last Resort may have moved from Huntington Ave. at the Pru (it did so about a year ago), but the attitude and atmosphere has simply been transferred Dick's at Quincy Market at Faneuil Hall. Now, the new Dick's is smaller by about half - it'll fit 140 - but it offers up a sassy, irreverent attitude and generous portions of food that's a whole lot better than you'd expect it to be. (The hidden attraction.) Yes, there's a certain calculation built into this "low brow" alternative to high-priced nightspots, but the late lamented House of Blues could be accused of creating a faux roadhouse, too. Dick's is a reliably fun and friendly place to visit, and, we're guessing, a raucous place Monday Jan. 8 with Elvis impersonator Dana Z and his Band play a "Hound Dog of a Musical Tribute to the King." (Dick's is big on El; they've always celebrated his birthday and the 8th would have been No 72.) Of course, there's some shtick involved: a jelly donut eating contxt, a look-a-like and sound-a-like contest (the winner of each gets $300) etc. For you imbibers, a 16 ounce Dick's Brew is but $2 and a Smirnoff martini goes for a way-low $4. No cover. Starts at 6 p.m. (Get discounted parking at 75 State Street Garage.)
