Tavernetta’s backyard patio is the perfect place to spend an afternoon before the snow starts to fall (yikes). Grab a table and order an Aperol Spritz while it’s still technically Aperol season, and play some bocce ball on the lawn.

Let’s face it  — summer is expensive. With all the camping trips, summer vacations, patio drinks and trips to the ice cream shop, our wallets are feeling a bit light by this time of year. Luckily, you can get a heaping bowl of pasta for just $9 on Tuesdays at all four of Via Cibo’s locations. Choose from pomodoro, arrabiata, alfredo, rosé or pesto.

We’ve heard a lot of hype around Bridgette Bar’s banana pie, which comes topped with pretzels, sky-high toasted meringue and rum caramel. Dessert is served here from open until close (as late as 1 a.m.), so your mid-morning or late-night cravings need not worry.
