Hey, it’s finally getting cool outside!

It’s officially autumn and our friends at District American Kitchen & Wine Bar are whipping up creative comfort food from fall’s bounty to gladden our hearts. And it’s not just produce from their garden or new treats made with Schreiner’s Fine Sausage we can look forward to. It’s the cocktails, people. The cocktails.

The new fall menu selections debut in early November and will be available throughout the holiday season. Complimentary three-hour parking validation is available with an entrée. So bundle up and make your way over to sample their fall offerings. In the meantime, here is a perfect cool weather drink we are dying to try.
