It's the National Holiday! While many of you might have left Beijing for the break, those who are still in the capital have plenty to enjoy! Today, we will explore some events and activities for tomorrow, Oct 7.
**Taco Tuesday at Pebbles**
What better way to take a well-deserved break than with delicious food at a Beijing culinary staple?
Pebbles has been a cherished part of the Beijing dining scene for nearly 16 years, and their Taco Tuesday has been a longtime favorite. It's a fantastic deal: ten of Pebbles’ tasty, authentic soft corn tortilla tacos for just RMB 108. You can choose up to three fillings. Pebbles also offers excellent drinks, making it the perfect spot for a laid-back evening with friends.
Address: Pebbles Courtyard, 74 Wudaoying Hutong, Dongcheng District.
**Veg Out Tuesday at Side Street**
In our recent series about vegetarian and vegan options in Beijing, we showcased the wide selection available at Side Street.
This holiday, treat yourself to something fresh and green! Every Tuesday, all vegan dishes are 20 percent off all day at both Side Street locations.
Side Street’s plant-based menu is full of flavor and ideal for sharing. Look for the double-leaf symbol next to each vegan item and enjoy!

**Tuesday Trivia at The Local**
The Local's regular Tuesday Trivia continues during the holiday. There's no entry fee, and everyone is invited! The quiz is conducted in English, but answers in your native language are accepted.
There's no minimum team size; feel free to arrive with friends or connect with an existing team that needs members.
Prizes are designed for teams of up to six to ensure fairness for smaller groups. If your team exceeds six, consider splitting into smaller groups.
Teams larger than eight will incur a penalty of 1 point per round for each additional member. Large teams can still win, but it will take effort!
Prizes will be awarded each round, as well as for 1st, 2nd, and the second-to-last place teams. Even if you finish last, there’s still something to compete for!
Tuesday Trivia at The Local will take place tomorrow, Oct 7, at 8pm. Reserve your table by adding localKenn on WeChat or by scanning the QR code below.
Address: The Local, 101, 1/F, Southeast of Zone E, Bldg 80, Courtyard No. 4, Gongrentiyuchang Beilu, Chaoyang District.
