It’s Spooky Season here in The Heights District and we have some exciting fall events coming up and a wide range of fall-flavored food beverage offerings. So, put on your plaid, grab a pumpkin spice latte, and say, “Happy Fall Ya’ll!”
What better way to start your fall day than with a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Buddy Brew Coffee? After grabbing your ‘fall in a cup’, head over to Frenchies Modern Nails to swap out your summer mani-pedi with the latest fall nail trends or check out the new fall groceries and items that just dropped at Sprouts Farmers Market!
After, head over to the Second Sunday Market + Art Walk at Armature Works and peruse through the different vendors showcasing all their different fall items and goods. Whether you’re looking for a cozy pumpkin candle or Halloween themed treats, you’re sure to find some must-haves through dozens of artists and local businesses this Sunday.
End the night with an autumn-inspired craft cocktail from Strandhill Public or a fall-flavored treat from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams featuring four seasonal flavors, or both!
Also, all month long, every pint of Honey Vanilla Bean purchased from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams will be giving $2 back to Autism Speaks, so be sure to grab one for home. You can indulge in something sweet while helping a great cause!
