🧀🥓It's National Quiche Lorraine Day, and we know you're dying to celebrate. The only place to go for today's Where-Should-We-Eat-Wednesday is Patrick's Bakery & Café on West 66th Street!

🥐Patrick's Quiche Lorraine is the real deal, and don't worry...you can offset those calories with the perfect side salad. But we challenge you to leave without one of Patrick's gorgeous French pastries. (Pro tip: It can't be done.)

🍺For next week's Where-Should-We-Eat Wednesday, we’re planning ahead for a cause that’s close to our hearts (and our stomachs). Mark your calendars for Wednesday, May 20, because it’s Pints for Paws at Pizza Lucé on 66th Street in Richfield!

In a partnership with The Rescue Crew and Elm Creek Brewing Co., from 5 to 8 p.m. next Wednesday Pizza Lucé is donating 100% of all sales of Elm Creek's Legalize Mulligans Hazy Pale Ale to The Rescue Crew! The Rescue Crew is a fully volunteer-run, foster-based rescue dedicated to providing homes and medical services to abandoned or neglected animals.

🐕‍🦺🐈In addition to purchasing Legalize Mulligans, you can also help out by bringing donations of pet toys, pet food, blankets, beds, and pet furniture for The Rescue Crew. And the BEST part...? You can meet adoptable puppies and kittens right on the spot!

🍕Probably best to make reservations for this one: https://pizzaluce.com/reservations/richfield . Oh, and go ahead and consider that extra order of garlic cheese toast a charitable donation. 😏
