    CARVE American Grille: Open for Tasty Business

    This new restaurant just beyond the Oak Hill Y will use live-fire, smoke, and wood-grilling techniques across the menu, pulling inspiration from Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille. That's right, those guys, that's the parent company, which is why this place is worth your while from the get-go. And they'll be dishing up, among a plethora of other culinary delights, new takes on traditional comfort dishes: Meatloaf Cupcakes, Lobster Corn Dogs, Vegan Salisbury Steak. (Yes, that last one is a vegan dish: Just because they know how to sizzle marbled flesh to perfection doesn't mean they can't cater to non-carnivores as well, n'est-ce pas?) Also, the PR blasts we've seen suggest that CARVE will try to one-up Perry's iconic pork-chop-of-the-gods special, pigwise, which we can't even. Check it out, if you will – the joint opens on Tue., Dec. 17, 3pm – and tell us we're not just dreaming here?

    The Eleanor: Miracle on Fifth Street

    The popular yuletide pop-up bar has returned to the Eleanor, and this year you can enjoy even more of it with extended hours (opening at 2pm daily, and at noon from Dec. 19-25). You've heard of "decking the halls," right? Check out all the holiday schmaltz just about dripping like liquid tinsel here, the whole place festooned like Christmas exploded in a somewhat artful manner. They've got an expanded menu of cocktails for you, too, including some specials – the SanTaRex, for instance, and a new Mistletoe shot – that are sure to knock the elf right off your shelf. If you know what we mean, wink-wink, nudge-nudge, mind the reindeer scat.
    Through Dec. 29
