Does the seasonal change have you craving heartier food and drink? At Townline BBQ in Sagaponack, there’s an option all rolled into one. Called the Hail Mary (a version of a Bloody Mary) and served in and on a glass, this meal-in-a-drink starts with a Bloody Mary. The drink is then topped with a piece of Townline’s barbecue brisket, a St. Louis rib, a hush puppy, a pickle, and an olive. It costs $15.
Prix Fixe, Pizza
Reasons to visit Nick and Toni’s restaurant in East Hampton this fall: three prix fixe specials to choose from, wood-oven pizzas, and “social hour” at the bar.
The pizzas are available on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. During social hour, which is 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays and on Sundays from 2:30 to 6:30, drink specials are offered along with a special bar menu for noshing. Menu items range from pizza to meat or cheese plates, meatball sliders, pickled garden veggies, bruschetta, and truffled polenta fries.
The prix fixes start at $30, which includes “simply dinner” — a salad, pasta entree or pizza, and two scoops of gelato or sorbetto. For $35, a “classic” prix fixe includes romaine salad or penne to start followed by roasted chicken as an entree and tartufo for dessert. The chef’s choice prix fixe for $40 features an appetizer, entree, and dessert of the day. The specials are not available during holidays or for takeout. Nick and Toni’s is closed on Tuesdays.
