    Rebel Cheese x William Chris Vineyards

    Yes, those local makers of extraordinary vegan cheese have teamed up with the oenophilic savants of William Chris to present a virtual tasting that you'll be talking about long after the pandemic's passed by. It includes a cheese board with four housemade cheeses (enough for two people), jam pairings, and other accoutrements – and two bottles of wine chosen to pair with those cheeses. And Rebel Cheese owners Kirsten Maitland and Fred Zwar will tell you about the cheese, and the winery's Tony Offill will tell you about the wine, and your palate and your belly will be like "Yeeee-haw, it's so good to be in Texas!"

    The Eleanor: Miracle on Fifth Street

    Yes, the beloved Christmas-themed pop-up bar returns to The Eleanor for another year of spirited celebration. Joann Spiegel, the mastermind behind the brand’s cocktail repertoire, has created a roster of delightful, holiday-inspired libations, featuring cocktails that play on classic holiday flavors. New this year: Jolly Koala (gin, vermouth, and pine-cardamom-sage cordial), On Dasher (bourbon, mezcal, sweet vermouth, spiced hibiscus, bitters, and lemon), and a Fruitcake Flip (brandy, Jamaican overproof rum, Amaretto, fruitcake, cherry bitters, and a whole egg). (Our personal fave, the Bad Santa, is likewise among the heady lineup.) Also, the full cocktail menu will be available at the main downstairs and mezzanine bars. Note: This year, all Miracle cocktails can be ordered to-go. Note: This year, all Miracle cocktails can be ordered to-go – and a portion of all to-go sales will benefit the Austin Children’s Shelter and Austin Pets Alive. God bless us, everyone!

    Hopfields: Free School Lunch Program

    You know, parents, that you want to eat at Hopfields anyway, right? Now you can get lunch there … and your kiddos (ages 12 and younger) can get their lunch gratis. It's a middle-of-the-school-day special that features, for the kiddos, choice of a main item with one or two sides and a juice box, plus (studious bonus, here!) school supplies like note pads, #2 pencils, crayons, color pencils, calculators, and glue sticks available on request. Let your spawn work and nom PB&J or grilled cheese or buttered noodles on the extended patio, while you tuck into something more grown-uply delicious. (Note: We personally recommend the avocado tartine or duck rueben for maximum yum.)
    Mon.-Fri., 11am-4pm, until Thanksgiving break

    White Truffle Festival

    We know truffles are a thing, and a much sought-after thing, so we'd be remiss if we didn't tell you that It's Italian Cucina has their fifth annual white truffle celebration going on. You know how good the food is, right? And that it'll be accompanied by Prunotto wines? Yes – and you can get fresh Urbani white truffles on top, too – on top of the tagliatelle with parmesan cream sauce and the sautéed lamb chop, if not on top of the wine). See website for reservations.
    Through Nov. 22. Prices vary.
