September itinerary feedback (food/beer)

Since Boston is playing host to the Copenhagen Beer Celebration in September, I'll be coming into town for a few days with a friend of mind. I've been tasked with putting together an itinerary for the two of us. Feedback about places I shouldn't be bothering with, should be moving to a different day of the week or meal slot, or other such tips are welcome.

I haven't booked my flight yet, but I plan on arriving on Thursday the 22nd and leaving on Tuesday the 27th.

Here's what I've got so far:

Thursday:
Lunch at the Boston Public Market
--- Questions:
----- (1) Other than Inna's Kitchen, what else is a must stop? Any specific menu items?
----- (2) I know that there is a beer garden being put through a trial run, though what'll happen to it is unclear. Other than that, I see mention of Hopsters Alley selling bottles. Is on-premise consumption allowed? If so, is that applicable throughout the eating areas in the building?

Dinner at Row 34

Post-dinner drinking at: Worden Hall, Five Horses Boston, and Gingerman (subject to tap list)

------

Friday:
Lunch at KO Pies

Dinner at one of the following: Neptune Oyster Bar, Pauli's, Carmelina's, Trattoria Il Panino, Al Dente, Casa Razdora (specific opinions wanted -- needs to be in walking distance of City Hall Plaza and somewhere that I can sit down around 4 and be out the door by 5:15, carb heavy preferably)

Post-festival snack (11 pm): Double Chin

------

Saturday:
Breakfast at North Street Grille (I don't normally do breakfast, but with two festival sessions, I need a solid food base)

Lunch from one of the food trucks at the festival - I'm leaning towards WarPigs from Denmark, but the local options are Barracuda Tavern, Roxy's Grilled Cheese, Tasty Burger, and Zinneken's Waffles. Any recommendations?

Dinner (between sessions, has to be fast and close to City Hall Plaza): Saus

Post-festival snack: JM Curley

------

Sunday:

My plan is to head into Salem for the day and come back to Boston for dinner.

Brunch/Lunch: Little Depot Diner

Dinner: Helmand

Post-dinner bars: Lord Hobo, Meadhall, Tip Tap Room, Blackmoor

------

Monday:

Lunch: Moldova Restaurant

Dinner: Alden & Harlow

Post-dinner bars: Lulu's, Deep Ellum, Publick House, Bukowski Tavern Cambridge, Five Horses Somerville

------

Tuesday:

Lunch: L’Espalier
--- Questions:
----- (3) The Tasting Journey seems to be $100 less at lunch than dinner, but I can't seem to find a clear distinction as to how the two suffer. Based on the more detailing listings for menu options with fewer courses, the only difference between lunch and dinner seems to be the price, but I find it hard to believe that makes a $100 difference for the Tasting Journey.
----- (4): To those who've experienced it, is the Tasting Journey worth it? If not, what other top tier restaurant should I visit? And assuming your suggested venue doesn't do weekday lunch, when should I visit?

------

Other bars on my radar that I might visit depending on their tap lists: Brewer's Fork, Cambridge Brewing, Picco, Stoddard's, and The Lower Depths.

Bars/tap rooms I'd like to visit but can seem to fit into my schedule: Jack's Abbey and Night Shift
