Red Hook's Harvest Festival; Weather Up's Ice-Maker

RED HOOK— The Red Hook Harvest Festival takes place this Saturday from 10 AM - 5 PM. Cider press, pumpkin carving, face painting, cooking demos, "farm tours," and all that good stuff. [EaterWire]

TRIBECA——The new Weather Up in Tribeca will have a souped up ice machine when it opens next month. [NYT]

SALARIES—The average Chef de Cuisine makes about $57,000 a year, but when you break it down hourly, they earn as much as your average school bus driver. Good thing they aren't in tons of debt from culinary school, or expected to stage for free! Chow breaks it down in one of the prettiest charts we've seen in awhile. [Chow via Eater National]

TRIBECA—Pelea, the new Mexican restaurant in the old Bar Artisanal Restaurant & Tapas Bar space, offers a happy hour from 5 - 7 PM on weekdays with $15 all-you-can-eat tacos and $8 frozen margaritas. [EaterWire]

GRAMERCY— The Hurricane Club will start serving lunch on October 20. [EaterWire]
