After I posted my list of Thanksgiving openings and closings yesterday, Lansky at the Peabody e-mailed to let me know that their stores will be open. Lansky at the Peabody and Lansky 126 will be open 9 AM to 2 PM Thanksgiving Day, and Lansky Lucky Duck Gifts and Lansky Essentials (books, sundries, drinks, magazines, etc.) will be open 9 to 6.
Also, Lansky 126 is doing a special event Friday from 3 to 7 in conjunction with the tree lighting and Santa at the Peabody. Rebecca Belz, a former Memphian who is a jewelry designer, will be at the store to show off her latest collection, Becca Belz Jewelry. Her signature pieces include chains, stones and clustered perals, and are designed to be versatile enough to be worn with everything from jeans to a cocktail dress.
Also today, Circa by John Bragg sent out their holiday e-mail. I already mentioned their updated website where you can buy 50% off gift certificates. Order them by 12/19 to have them delivered by Christmas Eve. Certificates can be used anytime from January 1 to June 30, 2010 except Valentine’s Day. Certificates exclude tax, tips, and alcohol.
I wasn’t aware that Circa does a “Sunday Night Tasting” menu, 3 courses for $35. Here’s the lineup:
Choice of
- Mesclun Salad or Soup du Jour
Choice of Main Dish:
- Beef Tenderloin Medallions – Certified Angus Beef, with mashed potatoes and demi-glace
- Trout “Grenobloise” with fingerling potatoes, capers, lemon, and brown butter
- Roast Ashley Farms Chicken – lemon and garlic, with roasted fingerling potatoes, mushroom cream sauce
Choice of Dessert:
- Crème Brulee with fresh berries
- Chocolate Tart with Raspberry sauce
Two things going on tonight. First of all, it’s the Turkey Tip-Off Party at Kooky Canuck, with 99 cent super cold Bud Light draft. That’s actually going on all day and all night til close, so if you’re off today, what are you waiting for? Get up there.
Secondly, it’s the annual “Turkey of the Year” glass at the Flying Saucer. I’ve heard that this year’s turkey is Bernie Madoff, although I think it should be whichever Saucer manager it is who keeps putting Turbo Dog on Fire Sale. Glasses go on sale at 7 PM.
I’ve heard that this is the second busiest bar night of the year… oh goodness… gonna have to make this a late one. I’ll be bouncing back and forth between Saucer and Kooky, probably, with at least one stop at the Silly Goose as well so I can retain my mayorship of the Goose on Foursquare. The Nuh-Uh Girl has been on Twitter complaining that she doesn’t want to join Foursquare because she doesn’t want everyone seeing where she is at every moment. I think this is because she doesn’t want people to see how many times she checks in at venues that have free food.
Office closes at 3 today, so I’ll be out at the bars early.
