News from the heart of Bend! 10/15/2020

View this email in your browser Welcome to the Downtown Bend Newsletter! It was another great week in Downtown Bend.  The weather took to its usual fall temps this week and sweaters, boots, and puffy jackets were seen out on the streets of downtown.  Downtown businesses fired up outdoor heaters and firepits, and walks through Drake Park's fall loveliness became the 'thing' to do.   This week we'd like to recommend hitting some new (and some favorite) outdoor spaces in Downtown Bend.  O'Kanes Whiskey and Cigar Bar is always a must this time of year (of course!), J-DUB just installed new heaters on their patio that you must check out, Bend Brewing Company is a group favorite, and the Jackalope Grill has a patio to die for. We'd also like to recommend Velvet's Frosty Derby (egg white, knob creek bourbon, grapefruit, honey & cinnamon), which is the perfect cocktail for a fall evening.  If you're seeking dinner, we'd suggest the halibut with prosciutto, mango jicama salsa, tostones, mango puree, and braised chard from 10 Below.  Of course, while you're there you can't miss out on their caramelized peach bread pudding with vanilla ice cream!  Shopping, dining, or getting a service (like a haircut or spa treatment) in Downtown Bend means that you are supporting a local BEND FAMILY.  Every dollar that you spend locally matters (now more than ever).  You have the power to keep our community thriving. Featured Product We are in LOVE with these Oregon-scented candles from Lone Crow Bungalow.  Scents come in Oregon, Deschutes, Mt Bachelor, Lava Butte, Mirror Pond, Metolius & Painted Hills.  Buy one for yourself, and several for all those people you love who won't be with you for the holidays this year.   Featured Business A+ Computers in Downtown Bend, Oregon is locally owned and operated by Austin - and we're excited to feature his great work.  All rebuilds and repairs are completed with meticulous detail, resulting in a product that is as good as new.
