Sunday is the final day of the season for the B&G Milkyway locations that are still open. The Harmodon Park, Sycamore Avenue and 69th Street will be open until 9 p.m. Stock up on half-gallons of your favorite Avalanche flavors and get novelty bar grab bags to hold you until spring.
Bread & Circus Sandwich Kitchen has reopened its dining room with limited seating and also added overhead heaters for seating on the patio. Winter hours have started: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The restaurant on North Main has stopped using third-party delivery services because of the expense. It’s testing out delivery with its partners at Square. Order from the restaurant’s website, and a Postmates driver will deliver it. “Instead of us paying 30 percent-plus and losing money, we pay a reasonable service fee, and you pay the delivery fee. This will no doubt make your order more expensive, and that sucks. But you get to stay in your pajamas and have your food delivered to your door. If you don’t want to pay the fees, feel free to come pick it up. We’d love to see you.”
Winter hours have arrived at Chef Lance’s on Phillips. The restaurant won’t be open or do family meal deliveries or pickups on Mondays. Pickup hours have been added from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Saturdays for orders placed by Thursday night. And you don’t have to get out of your car! Curbside service is available for restaurant orders and family meal pickups.
