Weekend Picks – November 18th

Eat:
Colder weather makes us want to be cozy with someone and share some food!  The Maiden is the perfect spot for that.  Located in the old (non recognizable Triple O’s) this chic and cozy spot offers small plates perfect for sharing.  Feast on BBQ pork ribs, ricotta toast, hush puppies and even housemade chips and onion dip.  The Maiden also has an extensive list for meat and cheese boards!

Drink:
Have it table side! Did you know that Capo offers table side bar cart service post meal?  Well, they do!  Have a cart rolled over to you table filled with magic liqueurs that can help you digest and complete your meal!  We’ll drink to that!
