Rosie Cannonball's Spritz Patio has received its much-anticipated wintry makeover, turning on November 6 into an Alpine chalet-style hangout. On custom benches, around fire pits in the newly refreshed red and white space, nibble on small plates like mushroom arancini, vitello tonnato, and a pork schnitzel sandwich. You can still get a dozen oysters and a bottle of Krug, but you can also finish your stay with cider doughnut holes and a s'mores sandwich. Cocktails from bar managers Alex Negranza and Sarah Crowl include Irish coffees and an herbal-flavored gin martini. The Spritz Patio is walk-up only.

At last, a storefront that combines yummy bready treats and fashionable facial hair is here. The Bearded Baker, owned by Allan Hursig, will open next week at 518 W 11th St in the Heights. Hursig, who has owned his business since 2016, was awarded first runner-up of the 2019 Food Network Christmas Cookie Challenge. At his new brick-and-mortar, he'll sell iced sugar cookies, drop cookies, seasonal cookies, scones, and personal-sized cakes. The Bearded Baker will only be open for carry-out service with curbside pickup to start. For more, visit the business's Facebook page.
