The Wise Ox, chef Brad Wise's butcher shop and deli from San Diego, opened Oct 22 at UnCommons in the southwest, where his Rare Society steakhouse already lives, and it's the first Wise Ox outside Southern California. The butcher counter carries premium beef, heritage pork, all-natural poultry, house-made sausages and stocks, and dry-aged steaks, cut by a crew of butchers and chefs who can tell you how to cook what you buy. On the deli side, look for a cheesesteak stuffed with shaved New York strip on an Amoroso's roll, a dry-aged burger with bacon and Havarti, a hot honey breakfast sandwich on challah, and fries cooked in beef fat. It's open Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with sandwiches until 5.
Almond & Oat, the Henderson-born coffee bar from the team behind The Coffee Class, is now open at shareDOWNTOWN on Casino Center Boulevard, its third café in the valley. Every drink is built on oat milk, with signatures like the Honey Sea Salt Latte, Oatmeal Cookie Latte, a scratch-made Horchata Latte and Banana Matcha, plus pastries and savory bites, and it's open daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
America Restaurant & Bar at New York-New York is mixing two Halloween cocktails on Friday, Oct 30, and Saturday, Oct 31 only: a Strawberry Devil Margarita with a red wine float and strawberry "horns," and a Zombie Mojito made with dark rum, muddled black grapes and black grape soda, at $16 each. The bakery counter is doing Halloween doughnuts too, and since America is open 24 hours, you can swing by any time those two days.
Jade Asian Kitchen at The Resort at Summerlin runs happy hour Wednesday through Sunday, 4 to 6 p.m. at the bar or out on the waterfall patio, with $9 specialty cocktails like the Lychee Martini and Asian Pear Martini, $7 house wine and $6 beer.
