2. Ella's in Huntington offers comfort with its Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Cocktail. Looking to try something different in Huntington and get a unique holiday cocktail? Head to Ella's in Huntington Village to check out their Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Cocktail. “The old-fashioned is one of my favorite cocktails,” says Chris Burke, bar manager at Ella’s in Huntington, known locally for its toasty wood-fired pizza and tasty seasonal craft cocktails. “It is simplicity at its finest and most elegant. It also lends itself to other flavors and has the ability to be broken down and remade. So this is our version of an autumnal old-fashioned. Flavors we associate with the holidays, nostalgic memories, and gatherings. It’s comfort food in a glass.” (Long Island Press)
3. ICYMI: The Paramount to host annual blood drive Dec. 26. The Paramount will be holding their ninth annual blood drive today. The event will start at 9 a.m. and finish at 3 p.m. Anyone who gives blood will be given a pair of tickets to a show of their choosing.
