Weekend Picks – November 11th
Thank you, Veterans!
Originally known as Armistice Day to honor the living veterans of World War I, Veterans Day has transformed into a holiday celebrating all who have served and are serving their country. Here are some things happening in the neighborhood to celebrate. Veterans Day is Friday, November 11th.
Free Lunch for Veterans at Tuscan Kitchen
This Veterans Day Tuscan Kitchen, Tuscan Sea Grill & Bar, and Toscana Italian Chop House & Wine Bar will be serving a family-style meal to veterans and a guest from 11am to 4pm. Since 2010, Tuscan Brands has served over fifteen thousand Veterans, and this Veterans Day owner Joe Faro anticipates feeding over four thousand vets and their guests. Veterans that live in the town/city of each of the Tuscan Brands Restaurants are invited to join other heroic patrons and a guest for a scratch-made family-style meal. Guests can expect a traditional Italian feast starting with Tuscan Kitchen’s signature Penne Bolognese. For the second course, patrons will enjoy a Roast Pork Tenderloin paired with Yukon gold mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. Lastly, for dessert, they’ll enjoy a freshly baked cookie and Italian dark-roasted coffee. Veterans and their guest can RSVP by calling the restaurant located in the town they reside in or online at www.tuscanbrands.com/veteransday

The luminous, open-air market, which debuted in 2021, returns in 2022 with over 120 small businesses to shop from, doubling last year’s lineup.
