July 2, 2009





Fourth of July "Summertime.... and the livin' is easy..." Well, maybe this summer isn't as easy as some in recent memory, but it wasn't really so easy in Gershwin's Porgy and Bess, either! We know things are still tight, but, if the worst isn't yet behind us, at least it seems the adjustment period is over! "So hush, little baby, don't you cry..."

This weekend, we'll be open on Independence Day, Saturday, July 4th, from 11am-10pm. Our vegan kielbasa special will be available all day!

You may have noticed that we did a lot of menu testing in June. We're pleased to announce that some of our test items will be joining our regular menu in July! Calzones are now on the Light Bite menu, Coconut Curry Wrap has joined the Sandwich menu, and Canadian Bacon has been added to the Brunch menu. Pepperoni will be available every Thursday during Beer & Pizza Night, and our pressed Cuban Sandwich will be featured as the Monday lunch special starting Monday, July 13th.

Ever since our Cinco de Mayo celebration, we've been receiving a lot of requests for tacos. Well, good news, taco lovers! We'll be running a three-taco special all day each and every Wednesday! Join our first Taco-Waco Wednesday next week on Wednesday, July 8th. »view flyer
