10 new restaurants in the Akron area! Check out what they're serving
Happy Friday and happy weekend. I'm sure most folks are immersed in plans for Thanksgiving and, by extension, Christmas. Here are a couple of newsy holiday bits. ● I was excited to learn last week that Graeter's Ice Cream saw the return of its holiday favorite peppermint stick ice cream. The hand-crafted ice cream is made just 2.5 gallons at a time with Graeter's signature, small-batch French Pot process. The peppermint stick treat can be found at all Graeter's shops, the closest of which are at Pinecrest in Beachwood and Crocker Park in Westlake. Peppermint stick pints also are sold at local Acme, Giant Eagle and Meijer grocery stores. Graeter's is offering three additional, limited-time holiday flavors at scoop shops as well as for online ordering . The holiday creme brulee flavor was released Nov. 9, featuring vanilla custard with a caramelized sugar crunch. Coming Nov. 16 is Cozy Hot Cocoa with rich chocolate and gooey marshmallow, and Nov. 23 will see the release of Spirited Eggnog, infused with notes of rum, bourbon and brandy. ● Cafe Arnone will host a sip and shop holiday wine tasting event from 5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 18 at 2840 W. Market St.

Warm Memories: Russo’s Restaurant
Lucca Russo shakes a pan with Russo’s Restaurant’s Louisiana Sicilian Pastalaya sauce in it before adding in fettucine and topping the dish with seasoned chicken and garnishes. Simultaneously, he spoons cucumber pico de gallo and Tabasco on chilled oysters. Having taken over the kitchen from his dad, Dave Russo, four years ago, the 25-year-old is in his element.
