In observation of October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, local restaurants have rolled out pink menu items. Everything from drinks to dishes benefiting nonprofits and other organizations that support breast cancer research are in the spotlight, and at least one eatery will raise funds for a nationwide health org during its next multicourse feast.
Check out CL’s running list of where to snack and sip now until November while supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
