Weekend Picks – October 16th
Eat:
It’s back! Head to Amrhein’s (80 West Broadway) for their famous Pumpkin Risotto. It’s back in all its rich and deliciousness and we guaranteed you’ll feel instantly comforted with the first bite. (Bonus: it’s served in a real hollowed out pumpkin!)
Drink:
Buy the Grape! Social Wines (52 West Broadway) has a new wine online shopping experience for you! Buy The Grape focuses on a different grape each month and the wine experts at Social Wines will give you little lesson as well as curate different expressions of that grape varietal. The first grape is Cabernet Sauvignon. You’ll get 10% off six bottles, 15% off twelve. Wines purchased online can be picked up at the shop (call ahead for curbside delivery!) or you can schedule local delivery ($75 minimum purchase for South Boston, $100 other Boston neighborhoods.) Most deliveries can be scheduled within 24 hours. Talk about making drinking wine even easier!
