Dining & Drink Deals for a Wonderful Wednesday

It is Wednesday, my dudes, and the middle of the week ain’t all that bad. There are still food and drink deals and happenings to be found across the city, so, building off our recent rundown of Tuesday deals and Taco Tuesday deals, we move on to Wednesday.

We've also thrown a few events in for good measure, with many of them focusing on wine, since Wine Wednesday is also a thing. 

RMB 15 Square Pizza at La Platea

La Platea leans into the Italian side of their Mediterranean roots with this Wednesday special, a pizza deal that could be like an aperitivo deal, too. Order any drink and you’re entitled to a slice of their square pizza for RMB 15 from 3pm until 10pm.
