Penguins Take on Oilers; Istanbul Sofra a Welcoming Restaurant in Regent Square (Tues., 11/8/16)

1) The Pens return home from a West Coast road trip to face off against the Edmonton Oilers. The puck drops at 7 p.m.. Let’s go Pens! PPG Paints Arena, 1001 Fifth Ave., Uptown.

2) After voting today (and please do vote!) stop by Istanbul Sofra, a welcome addition to that colorful culinary corner on South Braddock and Forbes across from Frick Park. Seinfeld’s Kenny Bania would proclaim their lentil soup the best, Jerry, the best. The falafels, hummus, and kebabs are also hard to beat.  Additionally cool: BYOB; outdoor seating and cay. That last item is pronounced “chai,” but don’t confuse it with those sugary lattés from Starbucks. A dark red tea, cay comes in tulip-shaped glasses and is a symbol of Turkish hospitality. Top off your meal with some Turkish coffee and baklava. 7600 Forbes Ave., Regent Square. (CM)
