STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — A sweet piquanté pepper filled with cream cheese called a Peppadew was a favorite food on New Year’s Eve.
“I think it’s one of most unique things on the menu tonight,” said Tracy Augstell.
It’s New Years Eve and many people in our area will be out celebrating the coming of 2013. The holiday also means you can get a free cab ride home from your party – a cab with fares up to $30.
The annual SoberRide program is organized each year by the Washington Regional Alcohol Program and is designed to curb drunken driving on area streets. To use the service, riders must call 1-800-200-TAXI to order a cab for the ride home.
