Flushing: Joe DiStefano, the foodie behind Edible QueensWorld’s Fare blog, is hosting a Feasting on Flushing food tour of the neighborhood’s most notable Chinese eateries.

Long Island City: The Home on the Grange festival, postponed owing to inclement weather, is now set for tomorrow, October 1 from 4 to 9 p.m. at the Brooklyn Grange rooftop farm. The buffet-style menu (braised beef short ribs, glazed pork belly, artisan cheeses, charcuterie) will make use of seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Tickets are $89 per person and are available online at grangehome.com, as well as in person at the Manchester Pub. [Grub Street]

Midtown: Abboccato, celebrating its seventh anniversary this month, will introduce a new happy-hour menu starting October 3: cocktails for $7, beer for $5, and a selection of small plates, insalatas, primi, and secondi. [Grub Street]

Ciders can be mixed with a variety of spirits, including Rittenhouse Rye, Bacardi Spiced Rum, and Stoli Vanilla. [Grub Street]
