Hurricane Benefits Past and Future.

The pic above is of the line up at Seersucker last night and this was just at the beginning of their "Eat Pork, Help New York" hurricane benefit with all proceeds going to RHI.  In addition to pork sliders they had organic caramel corn for $3.  We hope they raised a bunch of money.  From the looks of this pic they did! A couple other area restaurants, including Arthur on Smith who were donating 10% of each bill last Saturday,  have been involved in the Red Hook hurricane efforts and we expect more to join them.  Shake Shack is offering something called a "Rally Shake" and will donate $2 to Red Cross for each one sold. 

Arthur on Smith

Formerly Bino and shortly before that Po, 276 Smith Street has a new occupant. Arthur on Smith. Although we couldn't see inside, the storefront is revamped and they are fast at work on the interior. Opening is set for late March. Chef Joe Isidori has a sustainable seafood restaurant in Long Island called Southfork Kitchen and the menu for Arthur on Smith will have a similar feel with local and sustainable fare. You can see their menu here. Also, you can check out their facebook for pictures of the interior (they have a little ways to go but you can see the progress). It looks pretty delicious and we're definitely looking forward to trying this place out.
