It’s December! We love you all and hope Mr. Bourdain’s words speak volumes wherever you are spending the holidays! Thank you to our loyal, local customers who have made us their staple for 25 years!

“Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride." –Anthony Bourdain.
