{The Brussels sprouts on the menu at Le Coq, a month-long pop-up restaurant presented by John Perkins of Entre, are divine.

With just two weeks left of the restaurant’s existence, make your reservation soon!}
{Forgive me, but now that I’m pregnant, I miss red wine and cocktails something fierce. Luckily, Straub’s non-alcoholic beverage offerings have proven to be excellent. From GuS’ not-too-sugary sodas to an excessively awesome root beer selection, grabbing drinks to bring to a party is almost fun.}
