The new season brings not only fall foliage, but an abundance of apples, ginger, pears and cinnamon — many of which can be found in fall cocktails packed with color, flavor and spice. Local establishments are celebrating sweater weather by crafting new drink menus featuring a variety of autumnappropriate cocktails. Here are some highlights, with what to order and where to go. Cinnamon Slope Indo, 3295 El Camino Real, Palo Alto Indo’s Cinnamon Slope brings a little heat to autumn by infusing muddled cinnamon with a dash of angostura and angostura orange bitters before incorportating straight rye whiskey, Italian vermouth and apricot brandy. “This particular apricot brandy is definitely the sweetener to the drink,” said bar manager Samuel Nguyen. “This is what is going to add the fall flavor to the drink. A lot of people are going with ciders, apples and pumpkins, and apricot is a fruit that people don’t pay attention to in the fall, so the apricot really stood out to us, and it complements really well with the cinnamon.” The crafty concoction — garnished with a cinnamon stick for a seasonal touch — has a great balance of woodsy spice and slight sweetness Continued on next page The Calafia Cooler, in a sugarrimmed glass, is designed for the warm October days of Indian summer.

Bourbon Baked Apple Steins Beer Garden, 895 Villa Street, Mountain View Steins Beer Garden’s Bourbon Baked Apple combines bourbon, ginger beer, apple juice, lemon juice and spiced syrup into an autumnal drink that will give you an inner warming effect that reminds you of the holidays. The bourbon and ginger beer in the fall-centric drink give it a seasonal punch, but it’s the housemade spiced syrup that gives this cocktail flavors reminiscent of Grandma’s baked apple pie. Autumn Fever Mayfield Bakery and Cafe, 855 El Camino Real, Palo Alto The sweet aroma and flavors of fall are highlighted in Mayfield’s Autum Fever, made with crisp apple, bourbon, apple brandy, freshly squeezed lemon juice, angostura bitters, ginger beer and maple syrup — a cozy and soothing drink perfect for chilly weather.

Calafia Cooler Calafia Cafe, 855 El Camino Real #130, Palo Alto The end of summer doesn’t mean the end of the heat, especially here in the Bay Area, making it a good time to cool down with a Calafia Cooler. The refreshing cocktail infuses muddled pear and ginger with plum wine. Pear juice, soda water and lemon-lime soda is added before it is garnished with fresh thyme. Calafia mixologist Laura Wilson said the cocktail is inspired by “crisp fall flavors and the launch of our new seasonal galette.” Wilson added that she is excited to use plum wine, ginger and pear in a whole new way.

Over the past decade, he has traveled across North and South America, Asia, Africa and Europe, taking vivid photographs that capture the cultures and the people he encounters. Next week, Foothill College opens an exhibition of Crowder’s work from around the globe. Titled “Wanderlust,” the show gives a sense of the artist’s eye for pleasing design and his interest in a range of subjects, from landscapes and seascapes to close-up portraits, street scenes and documentary-style images. “Travel photography is about capturing images that give a sense of place and the people who live there,” Crowder noted, and indeed, most of his images focus on humans or their impact on the landscape. Among the works included in “Wanderlust” is “Blue Dog.” Shot in Havana, Cuba, the image captures both HARLAN CROWDER CALL FOR ARTISTS APPLICATION DEADLINE: October 31, 2014, by 11:00 pm (PST).

Blind Summit Theatre’s ‘The Table’ A grouchy, two-foot-tall puppet with a cardboard head has an existential crisis while standing on a table. That’s the synopsis of Blind Summit Theatre’s “The Table,” a mold-breaking performance art event that won top awards and critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2011, and has since gone on to tour the world. “The Table” may be comical, but this is no ordinary puppet show. Based on the life of Moses in the hours before his death, it’s an attempt to recreate the art of puppetry. Performed in the style of Japanese Bunraku puppetry, the production relies on the talents of the three puppeteers, who are fully visible to the audience throughout the production. These actors must improvise and interact with each other and audience while cooperatively manipulating the body of the show’s star. Blind Summit will perform “The Table” at Stanford University’s Bing Concert Hall Studio (327 Lasuen St.) Thursday, Oct. 30 and 31, at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 1, at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 2, at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $65 for adults and $15 for Stanford students; go to live.stanford.edu or call 650-724-2464. — Elizabeth Schwyzer Weekend QMOVIETIMES QMOVIEOPENINGS Are You Talking to Me? “DEAR WHITE PEOPLE” ADDRESSES THE STATE OF THE DISUNION IN POST-OBAMA AMERICA Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (PG) Century 16: 10:30 a.m., 12:45, 3, 5:15, 7:30 & 9:45 p.m. Century 20: 11:15 a.m., 12:20, 2:35, 4:55, 5:55, 7:15 & 9:25 p.m. Fri & Sat 1:30 & 3:45 p.m. Annabelle (R) Century 20: 8:05 & 10:40 p.m. The Best of Me (PG-13) Century 16: 10:35 a.m., 1:25, 4:25, 7:40 & 10:30 p.m. Century 20: 11:10 a.m., 1:55, 4:40, 7:30 & 10:25 p.m. 000 (Century 16, Century 20) At this point in American history, we’d like to believe we’ve come a long way, baby, on the subject of race and racism. But as “Dear White People” engagingly wades into those still very much roiling waters, viewers will have to confess we’ve still got a long way to go. Set in fictional Ivy League college Winchester University, writer-director Justin Simien’s debut presents a believable school setting (and American microcosm) peopled with colorful characters. Foremost among them is Sam White (Tessa Thompson), the DJ/blogger flogging the titular gimmick “Dear White People” (as in: “Dear white people: The minimum requirement of black friends required to not seem racist has just been raised to two...”). By doling out wisdom and advice to blinkered whites about their racial and cultural presumptions, Sam becomes a campus hero to some and a pariah to others. Meanwhile, plans are afoot among some of the school’s white students — represented by Kurt Fletcher (Kyle Gallner), son of the school president — for a black-themed Halloween party predicated on mocking racial stereotypes. This hotbed of racial tension sets the stage for political, journalistic, romantic and domestic dramas to play out amongst the students and, in some cases, their parents (Kurt’s Addicted (R) Century 20: 7:35 & 10:10 p.m. The Big Sleep (1946) (Not Rated) Stanford Theatre: 7:30 p.m., Sat & Sun 3:10 p.m. Bolshoi Ballet: The Legend of Love (Not Rated) Century 16: Sun 12:55 p.m. Century 20: Sun 12:55 p.m. The Book of Life (PG) Century 16: 10:55 a.m., 4:20 & 7 p.m. In 3-D at 1:40 & 9:40 p.m. Century 20: 11:05 a.m., 1:35, 4:20, 7 & 9:30 p.m. In 3-D at 12:15, 2:50, 5:25, 8 & 10:30 p.m. The Boxtrolls (PG) +++ Century 16: Fri & Sat 11:30 a.m., 2:20 & 5 p.m. Century 20: Fri & Sat 11:25 a.m., 1:50 & 4:35 p.m. Dark Passage (1947) (Not Rated) Stanford Theatre: 5:30 & 9:50 p.m. Dear White People (R) Century 16: 11:10 a.m., 1:50, 4:35, 7:25 & 10:05 p.m. Century 20: 11:50 a.m., 2:25, 5, 7:40 & 10:20 p.m. ASHLEY BEIREIS NGUYEN, COURTESY OF SUNDANCE “Dear White People” is a satire that explores racial tensions at a fictional Ivy League college. friend Troy Fairbanks, played by Brandon P. Bell, is son of the school’s dean, played by Dennis Haysbert). The power struggles allow Simien plenty of opportunity for satire, but also for sincere attempts at personal understanding between characters, and improved self-knowledge for them as individuals. Lionel Higgins (Tyler James Williams of “Everybody Hates Chris”) exemplifies this element of the story in shyly exploring his own homosexuality as he attempts to find his place in campus life, perhaps as a reporter for a school newspaper. For her part, Sam is carrying on a romance on the down-low with a white student (Justin Dobies’ Gabe), race giving both of them unnecessary pause due to their own hang-ups and the school’s charged environment. Inevitably, this intelligent, funny and hyper-articulate campus comedy-drama conjures Spike Lee, whose sophomore feature “School Daze” explored similar territory. Simien’s smart enough to recognize that his film wouldn’t be possible without the influence of Lee, so he has his characters name-check the director and his work more than once. It’s a move that typifies Simien’s light touch even as he serves up tart satire, and evidence that he’s adding a fresh, fearless voice of his own to the cinema scene.

Playing the terrified innocent this time is Logan Lerman (“The Perks of Being a Wallflower”), while the seasoned guide is a weathered but still buff Brad Pitt. Pvt. Norman Ellison (Lerman) has been trained only to type 60 words a minute, but when he’s tasked with replacing the assistant driver of Sgt. Don “Wardaddy” Collier’s tank, Norman finds himself thrown into a pool of unspeakable horrors. Pitt’s Collier oversees a unit that also includes saved evangelist Boyd “Bible” Swan (Shia LaBeouf), wise-cracking Trini “Gordo” Garcia (Michael Peña) and unpredictable Grady “Coon-Ass” Travis (Jon Bernthal). No ordinary sergeant, Collier successfully applies his relatively limited machine guns and tank cannons to his task, while frustratedly acclimating St. Vincent (PG-13) Aquarius Theatre: 2:15, 4:40, 7:10 & 9:40 p.m. Century 20: 11:40 a.m., 2:10, 4:40, 7:20 & 9:55 p.m. The Tale of Princess Kaguya (PG) Century 16: 12, 3:30, 7:05 & 10:15 p.m. The Two Faces of January (PG-13) Aquarius Theatre: 2:40, 5 & 7:30 p.m. Brad Pitt stars in “Fury.” Norman to what he frames as the necessary evils of war. Successfully, that is, until the now-familiar Ayer trope of a hardcore extended climax not guaranteed to end well. LaBeouf again proves capable of conveying emotions that ooze like open wounds (that’s a compliment), while Peña and Bernthal do strong variations on types they’ve played before. The picture truly belongs to Lerman, who maintains a reactive spontaneity as the audience surrogate, and Pitt, delivering the crucial star performance that once would’ve been the job of Humphrey Bogart or John Wayne. Collier’s struggles with “combat stress” (PTSD) and his dueling impulses for sympathy and fury embody the film’s moral ambiguity, though Ayer only occasionally allows viewers to forget they’re watching a decidedly antiwar film. Rated R for strong sequences of war violence, some grisly images and language throughout. Two hours, 14 minutes. — P.C. QMOVIECRITICS S.T.- Susan Tavernetti, P.C.

For Abhita Chugh, who has lived at The Crossings for a little over five years with her family, having the chance to only walk a short distance to get groceries has been a definite plus. The neighborhood’s advantageous location doesn’t end with the stores. The Crossings are bordered by the San Antonio Caltrain Station, which residents use for everything from commuting to work to going to Giants games. Nancy Morimoto, a resident since 1998, said that having a train station nearby makes trips to San Francisco and San Jose much more convenient for her and her family. “We don’t have to pay for a town car,” Morimoto said. Such easily accessible locales are added perks to the warm, tightly knit neighborhood that Morimoto said has grown significantly since she bought her house. “I don’t feel closed in at all,” she said. “I like the close neighborhood feel.” The neighborhood hosts various events throughout the year, especially around holidays. Morimoto said that the neighborhood hosts a Fourth of July celebration and that Halloween at The Crossings is always a sight to see. “Halloween is amazing,” she said. “Whole troops of kids come around.” Chugh also said that Halloween at The Crossings is a spectacle, with even kids from other neighborhoods joining in the fun. She said that for at least the past couple of years the neighborhood has also held a popular Easter egg hunt. When there’s not a holiday, it’s common to see many of the elementary school-aged kids who live in The Crossings playing in the nearby park area or heading over to the popular pool complex within the neighborhood. While The Crossings definitely poses a family-friendly environment, the neighborhood contains a diverse group of residents and is not limited to families with young children, according to Morimoto and Chugh. “They’re a lot of people who have high school-age kids,” VERONICA WEBER Nancy Morimoto, with daughter Lauren, says residents of The Crossings enjoy its great location. Chugh said. “It’s a good mix, I would say.” Morimoto said there are also a fair number of retired residents and that the neighborhood is not strictly for families with children. Despite its convenient setting and inviting atmosphere, The Crossings isn’t perfect, according to Morimoto and Chugh. Morimoto said that parking can be a hassle because residents technically aren’t allowed to park on the street. For Chugh, the small size of the lots leaves more to be desired. Her house might not be big enough for her family in five years. “It’s not a standard 6,000-square-foot lot that’s typical in other areas,” Chugh said of her home.
