Published by Andy under Food, Wine & Beer News

According to this story on Crains, the proposed bill that would have allowed grocery stores to obtain a license to sell wine is DOA. Looks like the powerful liquor store lobby won out this time around. I think this is a huge loss for NY wine consumers. I was in a Publix in Florida this [...]

Guess it kind of makes sense for them to have a good deal given its proximity to Essex’s infamous 3-cocktail brunch. The special $18 prix-fixe gets you a choice of an [...]

Cafe Boulud: “Restaurant Week’s Not Over Til We Say So”

Published by Andy under Recession Specials

We just received an email informing us that the $24 lunch deal of the century continues at Cafe Boulud…and it looks like its continuing Tuesday through Saturday all year long. In addition to 3-courses for $24, Cafe Boulud is also offering 4 different bottles of wine for $24. The current menu looks pretty irresistable, with items [...]
