Dear Feastlings,
As my mother-in-law used to say, more times than I can remember, “ten cents is ten cents.” To someone who grew up during the Depression with enough siblings you’d need two hands to count them, ten cents made a serious impression. As we’ve all been tightening our belts these days, I’d note that four or five dollars, is, in fact, four or five dollars, and so we’ve instituted, in addition to our happy hour, a little lunchtime prix fixe, whereby you can have a lunch and a glass of wine or a dessert, and round the price of the whole thing down to $25. This month, the menu looks like this:
Lunch prix fixe at Feast
$25 prix fixe, plus tax and tip

It’ll change a bit each month, but it means you don’t have to scratch your chin and waffle before making up your mind about whether you deserve dessert or a glass of wine alongside your lunch. We hope you’ll join us.
