Our final Sundown Series event for 2014 is a very “secret” affair. The evening centers around author Rebecca Makkai’s new novel The HundredYear House, which tells the story of an old artists’ colony and the many secrets it holds. From 6 to 8pm, prior to Rebecca’s reading, guests are invited to discover WSPD’s best-kept secrets with a free scavenger hunt featuring a $500 prize, live music, yummies from JCT. Kitchen and more.

ODDS AND ENDS SAVE THE DATE On October 10th, WSPD’s biggest fashion event of the year, A Really Good Strut, makes its triumphant return. This year’s event will be bigger and more exclusive than ever, with a limited number of VIP tickets available beginning August 25th through participating fashion merchants.

The remaining VIP tickets, as well as a limited number of standing-room-only tickets will be available to the general public beginning September 8th. For more information, visit westsidepd.com or follow us on Facebook.

BEHIND THE BAR AT ABATTOIR We polled Abattoir barkeep Holly Cromer to ask her about her favorite end-of-summer cocktails, and she had great suggestions for drinks featuring Abattoir’s signature focus— local and seasonal ingredients. For drinkers with a sweet-and-sour tooth, Holly suggests the Summerland Farm Blackberry Bramble, featuring gin, Summerland farm Blackberry Soda and lemon, as well as the lip-smacking Nantucket Red, made from tequila, aperol, grapefruit soda and lemon. Or, for new takes on old classics, try the Maple Perfect Manhattan, made from bourbon, maple water and vermouth, and the Rye Old Fashioned, crafted with Redemption Rye, orange bitters, carpano and brandied cherry juice.
