From turkey tips from one of Manhattan’s top chefs (see below) to a celebration of our current favorite quaff (apple-based spirits), here are a couple of events going on around town that we think you’ll enjoy. Be sure to check out our events calendar for more suggestions–and don’t forget to mark your calendars for February 28, which will be our first event of 2012: It’s Good Spirits, a celebration of seasonal cocktails and local liquors.
APPLE FEST AT BROOKLYN OENOLOGY– Some say that 11/11/11 is the luckiest date in 1,000 years. Celebrate it with some apples at the Brooklyn Oenology Winery in Williamsburg! From 6 p.m. to midnight on November 11, there will be Doc’s Draft Hard Apple Cider, Cornelius’ Applejack, Eve’s Autumn’s Gold Cider, Wolffer’s Apple Wine, Hot Spiced Cider, and or course, the full line of Brooklyn Oenology and other local wines. Apple pie à la mode will also be available for purchase, and be prepared to play a round of the always popular game, ‘Apples-to-Apples. Call Brooklyn Oenology for more details at (718) 599-1259.
