Downtown hideaway lounge Vault & Vator announced the release of its Oaxacan old fashioned Nov. 27 with the promise of a new menu roll out to come for the season.
That got us to thinking: What else has begun to roll out with the waning of fall and the waxing of December holidays? Here are a couple more around town:
- Bar Margaret will host its first Winter Market Dec. 6 featuring winter-inspired cocktails and local vendors.
- Sans Souci’s Daydrinkers is hosting a collaborative pop-up with local athletic store Run-In on Dec. 8. The event will feature limited-edition apparel from On, an athletic brand, and a bra and shoe demo. The event will begin at 9 a.m. with a group run.

C & C Italian Deli on Augusta Street announced its closure Nov. 25 on social media.
The business opened Nov. 1, 2023, with a plan to bring a little NYC to the Augusta Street corridor. It’s owners, Christopher Kandell and Christopher Gould – ‘C & C’ – are from New York City. Although the store is closing, the post also noted that Kandell still owns a catering operation with catering hall on Laurens Road.
C & C’s space at 2222 Augusta St. was formerly home to a longtime Greenville mainstay, Mug & Muffin. The breakfast spot was open for 25 years before it closed August 2023. No word yet as to what may enter the space next.

A new Greek and Italian restaurant has been busy. Kouzina, which opened Nov. 4 in the former HabitTap space, now serves beer and wine, including a few Greek selections. The menu now offers:
- Mythos, a Euro pale lager with a light and crispy sweetness
- Fix Hellas, another Euro pale lager that dates back to the 1800s in Greece
The store offers a variety of beer and wine and has begun a partnership with Thomas Creek Brewery. It inherited HapiTap’s 50 beer taps and plans on expanding the menu further.
Kouzina is located at 1325 Miller Road just off Woodruff Road.
