With cabin fever becoming critical, a Jamaican Night — even if it’s only of the culinary sort — certainly sounds appealing. And on March 14, beginning at 6 p.m., Tremont 647 (647 Tremont Street, Boston) offers just that. Chef/owner Andy Husbands will prepare a four-course dinner featuring such regional favorites as curried goat, jerked chicken wings, and fried tilapia escoveitch; Red Stripes and tropical cocktails will also be served. The cost is $40, excluding tax and gratuity, and reservations are recommended. Call (617) 266-4600.

All the more reason to head over to Les Zygomates (129 South Street, Boston) on March 15, at 6 or 8 p.m., when the restaurant’s weekly Tuesday Night Wine Tasting series continues with a focus on the wines of Piedmont. Sommelier Geoffrey Fallon will provide the wine and related education, while chef/owner Ian Just will offer several matching hors d’oeuvres, as well as a cooking demonstration.

MARCH 15

"Taste of" events are ubiquitous in this town — and for good reason, especially in the case of the Taste of the South End. In this neighborhood ripe with culinary destinations, it’s no wonder the event is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. On March 15, from 6 to 9 p.m., join in the festivities at the Cyclorama (Boston Center for the Arts, 539 Tremont Street, Boston), where dishes from more than 40 local restaurants will be on hand, along with live entertainment, a silent auction, a raffle, and more. The cost is $75, and all proceeds benefit the AIDS Action Committee. Call (617) 450-1526, e-mail taste@aac.org, or visit www.aac.org/taste for information.
