You’ve got a new option for wine and beer starting this Friday, as new neighborhood cafe Cortona (a CDNews sponsor) has had their liquor application approved. The barista there this morning told me that the drink orders have been placed, and they expect to start serving on this Friday.

We also got a note from our friends at The BottleNeck, who are unveiling their new Hair of the Dog Cocktails this Friday, with $1 discounts between 5 and 8pm. The CDNewshound was honored to have been a part of last year’s menu, so we’re looking forward to seeing which local beasts end up on this year’s edition.
