It’s NOT 1992 at Garden Catering

by:

UPDATE: Unfortunately, due to some incorrect information in a press release, it turns out that this special was earlier this month, not this week.

However, the $2 donations to the Junior United Way are ongoing.

The LBC sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience!

This week only, Garden Catering is offering 1992 prices on select “popular items” in celebration the stalwart Old Greenwich deli’s 20th anniversary.

Which raises the question, what did a high school special cost in 1992?

Also this week, the deli promises to donate $2 to the Jr. United Way for each new Facebook fan, Twitter follower or “loyalty member,” a status that begets frequent customers “nugget points” with an “I heart nuggets” card.

Looking to complete the time warp? How about cuing up that ipod to Sir Mix-A-Lot, whose “Baby Got Back” topped the charts in 1992.

The return of Restaurant Weeks

by:

Stamford Downtown is sponsoring its semi-annual Restaurant Weeks extravaganza, with dining deals at more than two dozen of the city’s eateries. This year, the 15-day belly-busting binge will span from this Sunday, Feb. 26 through Sunday, March 11.

During that time, Stamford diners will get to choose from special prix-fixe menus, which range from $10.12 to $20.12 for lunch and $15.12 to $30.12 for dinner.

Here’s the complete list:

$10.12 lunch and $15.12 dinner:

Black Bear Saloon; Kujaku Japanese Restaurant; Picante Fresh Mexican Grill; Remo’s Brick Oven Puzza Company; and Volta Gelateria Creperia.

$12.12 lunch and $20.12 dinner:

BUtterfield 8 Restaurant & Lounge; California Pizza Kitchen (excludes Friday and Saturday); Capriccio Cafe; Grand (Dinner only); Kotobuki Japanese Restaurant; Lola’s Mexican Kitchen (excludes Friday and Saturday); Quattro Pazzi (excludes Friday and Saturday); SBC Downtown Restaurant & Brewery; and Tengda Asian Bistro (excludes Friday and Saturday).

$20.12 lunch and $30.12 dinner:

Aria Restaurant; Barcelona Restaurant (excludes Saturday and Sunday); Bar Rosso (excludes Friday and Saturday); The Capital Grille; Chez Jean Pierre (excludes Saturday and Sunday); Columbus Park Trattoria; Emme of Capri; EOS Greek Cuisine (excludes Friday and Saturday); Ferrante; Mitchell’s Fish Market; Morton’s (dinner only); napa & co (lunch only); Patrizia’s of Stamford; Sam’s American Bistro at the Marriott; Tappo Restaurant; and ZAZA Italian Gastrobar (excludes Friday and Saturday).

Many of the restaurants have participated before (remember Restaurant Week Bingo?). But there are also some new additions, like Patrizia’s, an awesome family-style restaurant that opened up in Market’s old location earlier this winter. If you do go to Patrizia’s, make sure you order the calamari alla Toscana. It’s amazing.

New taste in town with ‘Eating Greenwich’

by:


Time for a little more flavor in Greenwich? The New England Culinary Group thinks so.

The organization has announced a new event on the culinary calendar: Eating Greenwich & Port Chester, a week-long event Oct. 16 through 21. Modeled on the restaurant weeks popular in New York, Stamford and elsewhere, Eating Greenwich & Port Chester strives to go one further, offering more than just prix fixe specials.

Also of interest to Greenwich foodies, though in a more compact setting (Roger Sherman Baldwin Park) and timeframe (two days), Serendipity magazine is planning to kick off the first Greenwich Food & Wine Festival this year, benefiting the Breast Cancer Alliance.

More from the Eating Greenwich organizers:

The New England Culinary Group is gearing up for a week-long celebration of dining in the neighboring towns of Greenwich, Connecticut and Port Chester, New York.

Eating Greenwich & Port Chester is a lead-in to Serendipity Magazine’s Greenwich Food & Wine Festival (October 22-23) and will offer consumers specially discounted prices on prix fixe menus and special offers throughout the entire week, enticing customers, old and new, to visit Greenwich and Port Chester restaurants.

Unlike your typical “restaurant weeks” that have so fabulously been taking place throughout the country, Eating Greenwich & Port Chester will not only include specially priced prix fixe menus, it will also include an array of delicious and fun offers from participating restaurants such as; Family Style Dining, Lunch Buffets, Early Bird Dining, “Ladies Who Lunch”, A La Carte Menus, and even Wine Pairing Menus. Prix Fixe prices are set at:
Mid-range:    Lunch $10.11    Dinner $20.11
High-end:    Lunch $18.11    Dinner $30.11

Restaurant offers can be found at: www.newenglandculinarygroup.com

In addition to the week-long event, a special feature of Eating Greenwich & Port Chester will be a bounce back incentive. Customers who dine at any participating restaurant during Eating Greenwich & Port Chester week will receive a 20% Off Gift Certificate which can be used at any participating Eating Greenwich & Port Chester restaurant before December 1, 2011 (valid Sunday-Wednesday only).
