Earn Extra Credit at The Franklin
The Franklin Mortgage and Investment Co. (112 N. 18th St.) just rolled out its happy hour-esque Extra Credit program. Available Monday through Friday from 5 to 8 p.m., each Extra Credit menu (they'll change every two weeks) will carry an educational spin, and all drinks will be priced at a reasonable $9. This week's "You Come at The King, You Best Not Miss" is a study in the evolution of the martini; upcoming Extra Credit themes will include "Yuletide Traditionals," celebrating drinks like nogs and Tom and Jerrys; "Physician, Heal Thyself" will feature hot drinks and toddies. This week also marks the start of the Franklin's small-plate menu, created by chef Mitch Prensky of Supper. Check out both the current Extra Credit menu and the cocktail bar's food menu after the jump.
