The 30th Street Corridor, I propose, is the best culinary street in the nation. If I'm wrong about that (and I'm open to hearing about other streets), at the very least it's really fun and delicious and has hundreds of taps of local craft beer. See you on the 30th, on 30th!

Summer Cocktails at Jaynes.

If you've been into Jayne's recently, you'll notice that summer has taken over the cocktail menu.  Watermelon and strawberry infusions, mint juleps and refreshing twists on old fashioneds are just a few of our current loves.  Today at Jayne's we have something extra special for you: an orange caipirissima featuring just picked from the tree Valencia oranges from our server Becky's garden.  The white rum, fresh lime and juicy sweet oranges make a delicious and refreshing cocktail that we can't stop drinking.  This drink will be featured for $8 all night long tonight, Thursday. Happy summer! -Sarah!
