The weekend is out riding fences.
Threesome
$3 Champagne at Crimson Lounge
The after-work nosh at the elegant Hotel Sax lounge may be half-off, but what's truffle popcorn without a
little bubbly to go with it? (Or a trio of pulled pork sliders for that matter?) Thankfully, beer, wine and
champagne are now just three bucks.
