Pita Jungle Launches a New Seasonal Kitchen Crafts Menu

Jan 16, 20243 min read

Pita Jungle has recently introduced its newest Seasonal Kitchen Crafts Menu, providing a convenient and delightful way to kickstart your New Year with healthy eating resolutions.

Side note: For the seventh straight year, the Mediterranean diet has won the title of best overall diet in U.S. News and World Report’s annual ranking of best diets. That’s pretty nifty, right? What’s even niftier is that Pita Jungle is all about Mediterranean-inspired dishes.

The new seasonal menu titled ‘International Street Flavors’ features a variety of meals with light, fresh, and unprocessed ingredients inspired by “the celebration of foods and flavors from streets across the globe.” The International Street Flavors menu is available now through late spring for dine-in, carryout, and delivery.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
