New Season, New Menu

La Tavola Trattoria is back for round two of Feature Friday! This may have been one of our most delicious FF sponsors yet.

As we’re (finally) feeling some fall weather, La Tavola is working up a brand new seasonal menu. They’ll still have the staples, so don’t worry about missing out on that wood-fired pizza – it’s just getting revamped with new flavors. Not only does the Hertel Ave. spot have some of the best and most unique pizza in the city, they’re serving up amazing craft cocktails and authentic Italian entrees.

What else could you want as we head into the colder months – bolognese, pasta, and parm? Yes please.

Fall Feature Friday #WIN

As the last FF winner of September, @adventureswithemily just got us stoked for fall. AWESOME job, Emily! The simple framing and vibrant greens make us want to wear some flannel, get outside and go hike a mountain. Keep sending those landscape and outdoors shots our way – we love them. Enjoy your $25 gift card to La Tavola, DM or email us at hey@risecollaborative.com for how you can pick it up!

Today’s weather is an accurate representation of my mood.

Ready for Halloween? We are.

Your Halloween plans are covered – we’ve got your back. We’re throwing the raddest 90’s party this city has ever seen (since 1999…) October 29th’s two-floor party is $45 for four hours of open bar, a buffet, a rock show downstairs and a dance party upstairs. Get your tickets now online or stop at Record Theatre near Canisius College, Record Theatre near UB South or After Dark Entertainment on Elmwood for tickets with a lower fee than online. There are so many options for purchasing tickets, you have no excuse! Support so many local businesses, bands, and DJ’s at once.
