The weekend is worth its weight in gold.
This off-the-beaten-path dive known for the tantalizing troika of whiskey, beer and peanuts just added pizza to its repertoire. Every Thursday starting today, you'll find the Pizza Politana guys outside firing up Margheritas and their Artisan Pepperoni for your post-dinner, post-whiskey, pre-calling-it-quits snacking pleasure.
An aromatic Alsatian, lively Beaujolais and spicy Tuscan (we're talking wine) will be on hand at this hot dog shack tonight to help the dogs go down easy. And if a real-life spicy Tuscan happens by, be sure to say hello.
There are only a few more days to qualify drinking stein after stein of beer with reckless abandon in the name of Oktoberfest. And Foreign Cinema is helping out with a three-course dinner paired with your choice of Weihenstephaner Festbier or Franziskaner Dunkel Weisse—if you can say it three times fast, you haven't drank enough.
The official anniversary is Sunday, but in true form, the folks at TA are getting the festivities rolling early by extending today's happy hour through the weekend, culminating in Sunday's tequila-soaked soiree. Between rare tequila shots and $4 margaritas, try Jaliscan favorites like chorizo and Mexican meatballs. Well, favorite after tequila.
Pairing wine with cheese is child's play. You could do that blindfolded. But beer is a whole other matter. Run through meticulously paired tastings of artisan cheese from Bi-Rite and craft beers from City Beer Store—all in the name of education, of course.
