Settling....

 Honey, thanks for being my best friend these days

I'm back from another vacation to the beach (Sea Isle City, New Jersey) and I'm settling back down into blog writing.  Sorry I didn't have anything posted while I was gone...I'm still not feeling 100% and that means lots of laziness and lots of tea with honey (blueberry honey from Maine!!!) and lots of tv watching mixed with a ton of coughing and throat lozenges:(

Anyway, on to some updates!!!

Today is Bastille day!!!!!  Petit Louis is having a fete of course - $41pp (or $60 with accompanying wines) for the Prix-Fixe menu with delicious items such as scallops and warm tarts and ratatouilles!

Groupon is having a great deal towards Langermann's: $15 for $30 for dinner and drinks, valid for a year.  Wow.  I just scanned this menu and it sounds amazing.  I usually write an ideal meal, but seriously, all of the entrees sound incredible and I can't choose!  Yes please to the short ribs (of course), the sea bass, the scallops, the halibut.  Yum.  Seriously.  Yes to all of them.

All month long, B&O American Brasserie was celebrating National Ice Cream Month by offering some signature housemade creations: Bing Cherry-Corn Cake with Sweet Corn Ice Cream ($7) and The Banana “Split-wich”: Caramelized Banana with Peanut Butter Wafers, Compressed Strawberries, Chocolate & Strawberry Ice Cream ($8).  A portion of each sale went to benefit Dress for Success, an organization which helps women reenter the workforce.  Tomorrow, July 15th, Hotel Monaco is hosting an Ice Cream Social from 5-7PM with ALL proceeds going towards Dress for Success.  Scoops of housemade ice cream will be available for purchase for $3-5 in the lobby.
