Above is a picture of my sweetheart …and my wife No particular reason, but I really, really like this photo; (and them).
What’s new with the family is that March is birthday month! Both Lisa’s father as well as my own father were born in March; as are multiple nephews and nieces. Kicking off the month is Joey’s birthday. His age is referred to as “over 21”. Happy Birthday Joey! The one that really hits home though, (because he lives there), is my son Tommy’s birthday is also next week. He will be 20, and I am so proud of how my little boy has become a young man. May all of his dreams come true today as well as all of his tomorrows! (March 8th is also the first day of Daylight Savings Time!)
Over across the wall, we are coming down home stretch with our new Speakeasy; The Hideaway. This week the bathroom tiling is being finished and the equipment starts to be moved into place. We continue to hone in on a final draft of the menu which features a plethora of “small bites” selections. On the beverage side, we’ve got classic cocktails and mocktails; but also, nitro-brew and a bunch of specialty coffee/espresso drinks. It is truly exciting to see this dream become a reality. The Hideaway will be opening in mid-March, but in the meantime; stop by our pop-up bar, the Greenhouse Pub before it’s gone. ?
Last, but not least; next week we start our St. Patrick’s Day specials. We’re as excited to eat corned beef as we are to celebrate in the bar at our St. Patrick’s Day Party and likely the first day the bar is open. (The bar will continue to evolve for a month or so with your input; so the Hideaway’s official grand opening won’t be until the fall).
Well, that’s about it for this week, but as always thank you for being a part of us. We truly appreciate your support by being here.
Steven
