Learn more in our guide of 7 Things To Do This Week, below.
Happy Hour
Celebrate the beginning of autumn with delicious fall drinks!
1. At Astoria Caffe & Wine Bar, there are plenty of spooky cocktails to try this season. For example, Witch’s 75 is lavender-infused gin with sparkling wine and lime. You can also get the Apple Harvest Mule, made with vodka, ginger beer, and apple juice; Spiked Hot Apple Cider, which is rum-infused hot apple cider topped with homemade whipped cream and cinnamon; and the Seasonal Sangria, which is a layered wine and fresh fruit sangria in the colors of fall.
2. If you are looking for a little caffeine boost to get you through the day, head to Dunn Brothers Coffee. There, you can get the Old Fashioned Latte, Pumpkin Pie Latte, or Brown Butter Toffee Nirvana for a limited time only. Of course, you can always take those home and spike it with something from your liquor cabinet for a cozy nightcap.
Food
It’s a good weekend for pizza! Try these local spots.
3. Thin, crispy, and oh-so-delicious, I Fratelli Pizza is a Corridor favorite. Some delicious options include The Big Brother, made with Italian sausage, pepperoni, bell pepper, green onion, and mushroom; Del Bianco, made with Bianco sauce, breakfast bacon, fresh spinach, and Roma tomato; and The Margherita, made with fresh basil, olive oil, and Roma tomato.
4. Find a fantastic selection of snacks, salads, sandwiches, noodles, pizza, desserts, family meals, take and bake pizzas, and brunch at Zoli’s Pizza. Start with Zucchini Fries or House Meatballs. For sandwiches, you can get Fried Chicken Parm or a tasty Gigante Burger. In the mood for pasta? Get the Spaghetti Bolognese, Rigatoni Alla Vodka, or Date Night Brisket Lasagna. Or, order one of their delicious pizzas for dine-in or to-go. Finish with a dessert, including Gooey Butter Cake, Zeppole, Pistachio Cannoli, or Brookie Sundae.
