••• The famous (in my house, anyway) clam pie leads the lineup for Bettina‘s anniversary specials, available from October 26 to November 1. But wait, there’s more: “We’re leaning into some Italian classics this year with grilled oysters, wings, lasagna, tiramisu, and thin/crispy pies. Pizzas and wings available lunch and dinner. Oysters and lasagna dinner only. Clam pie will also be available at Tina’s Pizza [in Linden Square] all week, all day.”
••• On October 24, Manifattura will be making panini and salads at Aperitivo from noon to 2:30 p.m. Hoping to get the menu soon—and will add it here—but I hear porchetta will most likely be among the offerings.
••• Zaca Coffee‘s cart has left the Funk Zone. New location to be announced soon. —Noozhawk
••• The Goleta outpost of the Urbane Cafe chain opens October 26; it’s near Raising Cane’s and PetSmart.
••• Like Whiskey Richard’s two blocks away, the Night Lizard Brewing Company space at 607 State Street (Ortega/Cota) is available for sublease.
••• A profile of Bombay Station 734, the new-ish breakfast-and-lunch Indian restaurant from Ninder Josan and Kuldeep Singh of Apna. —Independent
••• “Kaz To-Go Japanese restaurant at 3613 State Street (Ontare Plaza) has closed and has been replaced by Bangkok Thai Cafe.” —Restaurant Guy
••• Ordering has begun for Saint Barbara Greek Orthodox Church’s annual Greek Grab & Go on November 7 and 8. I’ve loved the spanakopita, pastitsio, and baklava in years past; this time, there’s also a tempting lentil soup called fakes. Plus, you get the opportunity to take a picture of the photogenic church.
