Thursday Sips & Nibbles

I'm back again with a new edition of Sips & Nibbles, my regular column where I highlight some interesting, upcoming food and drink events. I hope everyone dines out safely, tips well and are nice to their servers.
******************************************************
1) Kane’s Donuts is introducing three new "loveable" flavors for the month of February: Chocolate Orgasm, Pink Boa, and Red Velvet Ganache, available February 1st through February 28th, as well as special Valentine’s Day Donut Pops, available February 7th through Valentine’s Day, at all Kane’s Donuts locations. 

The Chocolate Orgasm is a moist chocolate cake donut hand-pumped with a chocolate Bavarian cream, doused in Hershey's chocolate syrup and coated in crunchy chocolate cookie crumbles. The Pink Boa is a brioche yeast donut frosted with a thick layer of strawberry frosting and dusted with shredded sweetened coconut. The Red Velvet Ganache donut is a rich red velvet cake donut dipped in a silky chocolate ganache and finished with a dollop of delicious cream cheese frosting in the middle, topped off with a sprinkle of red velvet crumbs.

The special V-Day Donut Pops are available for pick up at all three locations from February 7th through February 14th. Each heart-shaped box will be filled with six, three-bite K-pops ($15). Available in three flavors: Chocolate, Plain, and Red Velvet, each cake-style K-pop will be hand-dipped in silken white or milk chocolate, and coated in pearly white nonpareils, edible glitter, chocolate drizzle, or sprinkles. The V-Day Donut Pops are available through pre-order only through kanesdonuts.com.

For those celebrating a Gluten-Free Valentine’s Day, there will be Kane’s signature GF flavors festively decorated with pink, white, and red frosting. 

2) Abe & Louie’s, Boston’s Back Bay steakhouse, has officially reopened after being closed for renovations due to water damage caused by a clean-water sprinkler break. Abe & Louie’s looks forward to welcoming back guests to the beautifully warm, meticulously restored, welcoming dining room and bar to enjoy the restaurant’s classically delicious award-winning lunch, brunch and dinner menus. 

“Abe & Louie’s is the heart of the Back Bay dining experience,” said Tom O’Brien, Chief Operating Officer for Tavistock Restaurant Collection. “Getting our team back to work and taking care of our guests as quickly as possible was a priority for our entire team,” added O’Brien.
