Blink 182 jokes aside, now that the gluttonous long Thanksgiving weekend is behind us, the city is most definitely slipping into something cozy.
As small press readings, film screenings, lazy walks through galleries, and the warm crackling sound of vinyl dominates our weekend planner, a lot of apropos events are taking place in the city's restaurants and bars: From pasta pop-ups and rotisserie dinners to mini fall festivals and private import salons where you can top your wine rack up for the holidays, it's as slow a burn out there as a chalet fireplace.
Enjoy a relaxing weekend before Halloween hits. ❤️

Activities, parties, points of interest, art exhibitions, you name it: These are the weekend events you don't want to miss.
