Donuts and mussels. You'd never think that a man who knows his seafood would be into pastry but bam, Chef Zac Young of Flex Mussels really understands his dough!
Starting October 26th, Chef Young brings his doughnut prowess to Grand Central Station. Flex Donuts is popping up to ease the hearts of weary (and hungry) travelers until the new year, with amazing flavors such as Pumpkin Spice with Maple Glaze, Mulled Cider & Blueberry with Chocolate Frosting. Traditional doughnuts retail for about $2.00, while more exotic frosted doughnuts can be purchased for $3.50.
Stop by the Zocalo take out section of Grand Central from 11:30am-7:00pm for freshly made, seasonal munchies. If you can't make it to the pop-up shop, stop by Flex Mussels on West 13th Street and receive 50% off Chef Young's signature donut sampler with the purchase of any entree.
Take advantage of this great taste of New York City and head to Flex Donuts before those seasonal bites are history!

Before pumpkins go out of season and everything becomes peppermint and eggnog, the swanky Kastel Lounge in the Trump Soho is mixing up some festive fall cocktails just in time. Kastel's Pumpkin Punch is neither sweet nor dry, but the aroma and taste sum up the end of autumn perfectly. Whether you savor this on its own or prepare it in a large pitcher for guests on Thanksgiving, this drink will set your palate and your mood for an amazing Thanksgiving with its spicy pumpkin flavor.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 oz. aged rum (We used Bacardi 8 Year Aged Rum)
1 oz. pineapple juice
3/4 oz. lemon juice
3/4 oz. orange juice
1/2 oz. spiced pumpkin purée
1/2 oz. molasses
1 dash sitters
Nutmeg
Preparation:
Add all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously. Serve in a burgundy glass and garnish with nutmeg.
Tip: Grind fresh nutmeg into the spiced pumpkin purée for extra fresh flavor.

As the leaves start changing and the countdown to Thanksgiving begins, it seems only natural that pumpkin would start appearing everywhere— and the cocktail menu is no exception. Pastabilities, an Italian restaurant in Syracuse, New York serves the Pumpkin Hollow, a creamy drink made with Absolut Vanilla, Pumpkin Syrup and Pumpkin Cream Liqueur. The graham cracker rim makes this the perfect dessert drink, but you have our permission to order it anytime.
