What’s on around town

• Book yourself into Cafe Freda’s on Sunday June 30 for Cooking With Acid a pop-up menu with Chateau Acid. The wine house’s drops will be on pour, and the menu will feature them too. Plus, a hot line-up of tunes.

• Perks & Mini (or PAM) has a knack for curating covetable pieces and designing vibe-heavy capsule collections with other creatives. The latest is with Ace Hotel, and it's a six-piece collection that's available to shop now.

• Capella has kicked off its Chef-in-Residence series with Federico Zanellato, the kitchen talent behind Lode Pies. Until August 8, head in to all-day diner Aperture for a Wagyu pie with mushroom and red wine jus, or a truffle and Comté number topped with potato dauphinoise. (Best enjoyed with the Sandstone lager, the house brew made especially for the hotel by Young Henry’s.)
