Dear Feastlings,
In this era of hyper-nationalism, we thought that after spending the summer saluting the cuisines of Spain and Portugal, France and Italy, it was only right that we should offer a couple of days’ worth of classic American dishes as well, so on September 29th and 30th, all day long, you’ll be able to enjoy these dishes, and we’ll waive the built-in corkage fee on our in-house wines, saving you a cool $15 a bottle, or $8 on a half bottle. We hope you can join us for the menu below:
