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) It’s almost Momosan Boston's one year anniversary. The restaurant will be offering two specialty ramen dishes the week leading up to the big day on October 15. These specials include:

2) The 13th annual global Champagne Day is coming up on Friday, October 28. Champagne Day is a day to celebrate all things Champagne, and the moments worth raising a glass for, big and small. To mark the occasion, retailers, restaurants, bars, clubs, and schools are planning events around the world, which can be found on the Champagne Day website here. If you plan to feature Champagne on or around October 28, remember to use the hashtag #ChampagneDay
