Alchemy is mixing up some delicious cocktails and food specials just for Ladies’ Night when Wicked Peacock will be setting up shop right in the restaurant – with fantastic gift ideas, from stylish bags to statement necklaces and delicate earrings.

Plus, you’ll get a FREE Around the World Card for every $100 you spend on Serenitee Gift Cards. So there’s something for everyone on your list!

The Around the World Card is good for a free appetizer at each of the 10 Serenitee Group restaurants. AKA you can take a foodie tour of the North Shore with this card (worth over $100 in value).

News from Latitude 43 – Outdoor Seating All Year + Seasonal Hours

October 16, 2015October 16, 2015 ~ sam

If you haven’t heard yet, we need to let you in on a little secret: Latitude 43 now has some serious heaters (trust us, these things are legit) so you can dine on their deck all year long. Picture it: Sipping cocktails and enjoying sushi, under the awing, while the snow literally falls around you.

But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves, for now let’s focus on this glorious season: fall. The crisp, fall air, views of the harbor, a tasty beer (like the new pumpkin draft rotation*), all enjoyed while you’re warm and cozy outside on Latitude’s deck. It’s basically perfection.

Speaking of the changing seasons, starting the week of October 19^th Latitude 43 and Minglewood Tavern’s seasonal hours will go into effect. Latitude 43 will be serving lunch and dinner Wednesday through Sunday; Minglewood will open at 4:00 PM Wednesday & Thursday and noon Friday through Sunday; both locations will be closed on Monday & Tuesday.

That said, the restaurants are still going to offer all your favorite specials and entertainment, they’re just shifting days. All You Can Eat Sushi will be available on Sunday at Latitude 43, while Minglewood will have NFL Sunday ticket on down the hall. Stump Trivia and 43 Cent Wings will now be on Wednesday Nights and Tres Tacos is now on Thursday – how’s that for some alliteration!?

A full line up of weekly promo and entertainment:

Wednesday: 43 Cent Wings & Stump Trivia at Minglewood
Thursday: Tres Tacos Thursday, followed by a weekly themed Dance Party at Minglewood
Friday: Live Music at Minglewood
Saturday: Live Music at Minglewood
Sunday: All You Can Eat Sushi at Latitude 43 & NFL Sunday Ticket at Minglewood

*The latest pumpkin beer in rotation is Two Roads’ Roadsmary’s Baby. This ale is aged in Caribbean Rum barrels and has all the pumpkin flavor you want, with notes of vanilla, oak and a hint of rum, making it a strong contender to become your new fall favorite – and there’s only one keg of it, so make sure to come try it sooner than later.

Latitude 43 and Maritime Gloucester have teamed up again for the Second Annual Maritime Gloucester Dinner to showcase underutilized, local seafood. The four-course menu highlights the fresh seafood and each course is thoughtfully paired with “underutilized” wine varietals, to offer new ideas for seafood & wine pairings.

The dinner will be held on Tuesday, May 19th at 6:30 PM at Latitude 43. Please call (978.281.0223) for reservations as space is limited.

A portion of the evening’s proceeds will go to benefit the Maritime Gloucester.

Full menu with wine pairings below…
