If you're having a hard time, we're here to help you narrow it down.
We've compiled a list of meal deals, special events, and mouth-watering offerings at local eateries and markets to consider when planning your next night on the town, or a quick stop for a tasty treat.
This week, Coffee Milano has rolled out a new way to spread positivity to the community, and pay it forward, with "Coffee & Kindness." Plus, we've got a sneak peek at the Taste of Greater Taunton, which is coming up soon, and will celebrate the diverse local food scene. We've also got flatbread, brunch, and a look at some other weekly specials.
Let's dig in:
Coffee Milano, which has gone viral in recent months for giving free coffee to dancing customers, has introduced a new way to spread positivity in the community.
The cafe at 58 Center St., Middleboro, now has 'Coffee & Kindness,' a way for customers who are short on money to still enjoy something to eat or drink.
Regardless of the reason — it's a judgement-free zone — if you need to, you can grab a Post-It, and enjoy some coffee, and some kindness.
Customers can also pay it forward, and — if you've got a little extra cash — buy a meal or a drink for someone in need. Write it on a Post-It, and put it up on the board.
Coffee Milano made the announcement in a Feb. 20 Facebook post, writing 'Because good food, warm coffee, and kindness should always be shared.'

Positive Points FDJ United (LFDJF) reported a 31% increase in revenues on a reported basis, reaching nearly 1.9 billion. The company aims for an average annual organic growth of around 5% from 2025 to 2028. FDJ United (LFDJF) targets a recurring EBITDA margin above 26% by 2028. The company is committed to increasing its dividend with a minimum payout ratio of 75% of adjusted net income. FDJ United (LFDJF) continues to excel in sustainability, aiming to grow its voluntary contribution to society and the environment from 2.7% of net income in 2024 to 5% by 2030. Negative Points Revenue was down 2% on a restated basis, considering the integration of Kindred. Recurring EBITDA decreased by 10%, with a margin of 23.6%, impacted by a one-off employee share ownership plan. Net financial income was negatively impacted by the Kindred acquisition financing, resulting in a net loss of 37 million. The effective tax rate increased to 40% due to a one-off additional income tax on large French companies. Retail sports betting revenue declined by 6%, mainly due to unfavorable sports results affecting the operator margin. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with LFDJF. Q: Can you provide more details on the top-line momentum in France, particularly regarding lottery growth and expectations for H2? Also, any updates on the regulatory environment in the Netherlands? A: In H2, we expect continued growth in lottery and retail sports betting, with lottery growth between 1% and 2% due to a tax rate increase in France. The Netherlands' regulatory environment remains stable, with no new changes expected. We are working on improving customer compliance with existing regulations. Q: Could you elaborate on the pipeline for lottery products, particularly the impact of new games like Crescendo? Also, any updates on the UK regulatory situation? A: Crescendo is a significant addition to our lottery offerings, launching in Q4, but its impact will be more pronounced in future years. Regarding the UK, we expect to align with the voluntary code by the end of Q3, which should stabilize the regulatory environment. Q: What is the outlook for cost evolution in OBG, and when will the impact of cost-saving initiatives be visible? A: Cost reductions in OBG will become more evident in 2026, driven by the merger of Uni and Sporting offers in France and the completion of the KSP rollout. These initiatives will significantly lower IT and external costs by 2027. Q: Can you provide more details on the deployment of KSP and which countries will migrate by the end of this year? A: We have not disclosed specific countries for competitive reasons, but several major markets will transition to KSP in early 2026. The rollout is progressing as planned, with some migrations expected in H2 2025 and others in H1 2026. Q: What is your perspective on the potential for online casino regulation in France? A: The likelihood of a public consultation on online casino regulation in France is low due to the current political environment.

President Donald Trump signs order imposing new tariffs
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order that set new tariffs on a wide swath of U.S. trading partners to go into effect on Aug. 7 — the next step in his trade agenda that will test the global economy and sturdiness of American alliances built up over decades. The order was issued shortly after 7 p.m. on Thursday evening. It came after a flurry of tariff-related activity in the last several days, as the White House announced agreements with various nations and blocs ahead of the president's self-imposed Friday deadline. The tariffs are being implemented at a later date in order for the rates schedule to be harmonized, according to a senior administration official who spoke to reporters on a call on the condition of anonymity. After initially threatening the African nation of Lesotho with a 50% tariff, the country's goods will now be taxed at 15%. Taiwan will be tariffed at 20%, Pakistan at 19% and Israel, Iceland, Fiji, Ghana, Guyana and Ecuador among the countries with imported goods taxed at 15%. The order capped off a hectic Thursday as nations sought to continue negotiating with Trump. It set the rates for 68 countries and the 27-member European Union, with a baseline 10% rate to be charged on countries not listed in the order. The senior administration official said the rates were based on trade imbalance with the U.S. and regional economic profiles. On Thursday morning, Trump engaged in a phone conversation with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on trade. As a result of the conversation, the U.S. president said he would enter into a 90-day negotiating period with Mexico, one of the nation's largest trading partners, with the current 25% tariff rates staying in place, down from the 30% he had threatened earlier. 'We avoided the tariff increase announced for tomorrow and we got 90 days to build a long-term agreement through dialogue,' Mexican leader Claudia Sheinbaum wrote on X after a call with Trump that he referred to as 'very successful' in terms of the leaders getting to know each other better. The unknowns created a sense of drama that has defined Trump's rollout of tariffs over several months, with the one consistency being his desire to levy the import taxes that most economists say will ultimately be borne to some degree by U.S. consumers and businesses. 'We have made a few deals today that are excellent deals for the country,' Trump told reporters on Thursday afternoon without detailing the terms of those agreements or nations involved. The senior administration official declined to reveal the nations that have new deals during the call with reporters. Trump said that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had called ahead of 35% tariffs being imposed on many of his nation's goods, but 'we haven't spoken to Canada today.' Trump imposed the Friday deadline after his previous 'Liberation Day' tariffs in April resulted in a stock market panic. His unusually high tariff rates unveiled in April led to recession fears, prompting Trump to impose a 90-day negotiating period. When he was unable to create enough trade deals with other countries, he extended the timeline and sent out letters to world leaders that simply listed rates, prompting a slew of hasty deals. Trump reached a deal with South Korea on Wednesday, and earlier with the European Union, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines. His commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, said on Fox News Channel's 'Hannity' that there were agreements with Cambodia and Thailand after they had agreed to a ceasefire to their border conflict. Going into Thursday, wealthy Switzerland and Norway were still uncertain about their tariff rates. EU officials were waiting to complete a crucial document outlining how the framework to tax imported autos and other goods from the 27-member state bloc would operate. Trump had announced a deal Sunday while he was in Scotland. Trump said as part of the agreement with Mexico that goods imported into the U.S. would continue to face a 25% tariff that he has ostensibly linked to fentanyl trafficking. He said autos would face a 25% tariff, while copper, aluminum and steel would be taxed at 50% during the negotiating period. He said Mexico would end its 'Non Tariff Trade Barriers,' but he didn't provide specifics. Some goods continue to be protected from the tariffs by the 2020 U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, which Trump negotiated during his first term. But Trump appeared to have soured on that deal, which is up for renegotiation next year. One of his first significant moves as president was to impose tariffs on goods from both Mexico and Canada earlier this year. U.S. Census Bureau figures show that the U.S. ran a $171.5 billion trade imbalance with Mexico last year. That means the U.S. bought more goods from Mexico than it sold to the country. The imbalance with Mexico has grown in the aftermath of the USMCA, as it was only $63.3 billion in 2016, the year before Trump started his first term in office.
