Nothing Wrong With A Little Day Drinking

This weekend's temperatures look much cooler than the scorchers we experienced in the past week. Sounds like an ideal time to enjoy refreshing cocktails on the patio. St. Kilda added summer cocktails to its menu at the Harbach Lofts (300 S.W. Fifth St.) and at the Temple for Performing Arts (1013 Locust St.) last week, including French mojito, espresso martini, raspberry mimosa, rye julep and aperol negroni.

While you're there, the two locations are also offering new summer brunch and lunch items. A few of the standouts: salmon and eggs, bircher muesli (whole oats, almonds, flax and chia seeds, mango compote and maple syrup) and the roasted turkey sandwich.

These new items are not available at the St. Kilda Surf and Turf in the East Village.
