Week of Nov. 25: Thanksgiving, Holiday Market and Movies

Looking to adorn your Thanksgiving table in style? Nightshade Farm + Flowers is teaming up with Really Really Nice Wines tonight, Monday, Nov. 25, 6 to 8 p.m., for an evening of flower arranging and much more. Included in the price is a lesson from Nightshade owner Becca Greaney, including flowers and a vase, two glasses of wine plus cheese pairing. Don’t miss out!

Love cranberry sauce, but want to zhuzh it up? We love this cranberry compote “shortcut” from the queen of hosting Ina Garten. “No fuss!”

For an easy and delicious holiday weekend breakfast or brunch, be sure to load up on bagels and spreads from Flour Moon Bagels. They will be open on Wednesday, Nov. 27, and closed on Thanksgiving Day, so be sure to order ahead. 

Black Friday is coming up, so be sure to get the best holiday deals and support local small businesses at the Urban South Black Friday Holiday Market. This Friday, Nov. 29, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the brewery will host local makers, bakers and artists. Chef Eric Cook of Gris Gris and Saint John will also be signing and selling copies of his new cookbook, “Modern Creole.” Plus, the brewery will celebrate the release of the new 2024 Black Castle barrel-aged stout. It’s a win-win-win-win!

For those not yet ready for Christmas shopping (or are looking for a distraction from family discussions), there’s always the movies! The Broad Theater has both “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” (and more) ready to roll. The Prytania Theater Canal Place is also featuring a weeklong movie marathon event with “Wicked,” “Gladiator II,” as well as “Moana II,” while The Prytania Theater Uptown has a pre-Thanksgiving showing of “The Wizard of Oz” on Wednesday, Nov. 27 at 10 a.m. Buy some popcorn and your favorite cold beverage and support your local movie theater.
