October in September
Rowdy Hall in East Hampton is continuing its Oktoberfest tradition this year with special prix fixe menu items through Oct. 2. The pub is offering entree and dessert courses for $35.
Thursday's special is Wienerschnitzel, braised red cabbage, and Halsey Farm apples with German butter pound cake for dessert. Beginning Friday through next Thursday, the menu will be schweinebraten with herbed spaetzle and apple pecan strudel for dessert.
For the final week -- Friday, Sept. 29, to Oct. 2 -- there will be a knockwurst, bratwurst, and bockwurst plate with German potato salad and a spicy beer mustard. Dessert is Black Forest cheesecake with a cherry compote.
There will also be tasting flights of German beer for $16 with three 11-ounce pours of Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen, Radeberger Pilsner, and Hofbrau Oktoberfest beers.
Ruby at Your Door
Ruby Murray's Indian restaurant is offering delivery of its dinner menu to sites outside of third-party delivery service zones, which only span about 7.5 miles from the Sag Harbor store's location. This program will include the entire South Fork as well as areas west of the Shinnecock Canal.
The restaurant's website will publish the dates and times of the weekly delivery service to reserve in advance. Only limited slots will be available for each delivery. To receive notice of discounts and specials ahead of time, registration can be completed on the website. Pickup of orders will continue to be available in Sag Harbor.
Last Pop-Ups
Rosie's restaurant in Amagansett will close out September with two remaining pop-up experiences. This weekend is Wayla, a Thai import from New York City, which is serving dinner from 5 to 10 from Thursday through Saturday. The menu is available as a prix fixe or a la carte.
Little Owl will be in residence next Thursday to Sept. 30. The restaurant is a Greenwich Village institution with a Mediterranean focus and a neighborhood spirit. The restaurant's chef, Joey Campanaro, supplements the menu with his own local catch and dishes he recalls cooking with his grandmother.
Cooking Demo
"Two Jews Making Food" fans can join the pair Friday when they make potato and cheese blintzes, a traditional Yom Kippur dish, at the East End Food Market in Riverhead. In addition to the demonstration, they will offer their signature witty banter, some insights into Jewish tradition, and samples of their cooking. Mocktails and regional wines will be poured.
Tickets, which are $45, are available on Eventbrite.
North Fork Gameday
Sunday outings to the North Fork to harvest pumpkins or sample local vintages can now include football at Corey Creek Tap Room in Southold. From noon to 5 p.m., there will be televised games served up with small-batch wines, Dog Days Riesling Shandy, pretzels made by Newlight Breadworks, and oysters from Harvest Moon Shellfish Company of Mattituck.
