Dear Feastlings,
I once had a guest on the email list tell me that my emails were like drinks from firehoses. While his suggestion that my emails should read like most other commercial emails, which is to say, they should be like an ad.
I’m foolish enough to try to engage our little community, so yes, they get wordy- I’m just talking to you about whatever’s foremost on my mind, but I try to include what’s going on at Feast as well. In doing that yesterday, I buried the lead, as I was too busy talking about- well, whatever I was talking about. Frankly, once I’ve written an email, most of its contents leave my head; if you were heretofore unable to tell, I use these emails largely as a means of getting my weekly angst off my chest.
So whatever I went on about yesterday, I only barely mentioned Mother’s Day and our wine dinner with Giuseppe Sorgentone on Tuesday the 13th. And, as luck would have it, the response has been sparse. Don’t get me wrong, this Sunday’s brunch is filling up quickly, but Mother’s Day dinner is, as yet, a quiet affair, and the wine dinner is thus far elegantly subdued. I’m not hoping for raucous, but if you’re thinking you might join us, livelier sounds good to me. In the spirit of walking the small business tightrope between rising costs and dwindling revenue, I’m knocking a few bucks off the price of the dinner on Tuesday.
You can see the Mother’s Day specials here,
and next Tuesday’s wine dinner menu here.
We’ve lowered the price from $140 to $120 in hopes of spurring interest from those of you who remain on the fence, and you’ll be please to know that the wines are, as yet, unaffected by tariffs. So you’ll further get discounts on wines you purchase from the dinner- 10% by the bottle, and 15% off by the mix-and-match case.
Wordy still, I know, but more of a garden hose than a firehose today. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Love,
Doug
