Check out the events page!

Wine, Cheese, and Mediterranean Food Outing in NYC!

OK, it's time for me to organize the 4th outing.

This one will have two parts.

First a glass of wine or two + some cheese at Casellula Cheese & Wine Cafe on West 52nd St off 9th Ave. I say go there first because it will be less busy then later on.

Then a nice short walk over to Gazala Place on 9th Ave and 48th-49th St. For good Authentic Mediterranean Food. They are BYOB and cash only I think? Gazala may hold a table for us but it's VERY small place and there might be a wait. But we will be holding wine and I'm sure we can get a glass.

Please RSVP and let's all have fun, share food, make new friends.

Cheers,
Evan

Dear Very Important People,

Once upon a time, in a land far far uptown, out of the doldrums, desires, humbuggeries and hungers for that grand recognition of the common human experience, came Rentaurant, your favorite, if intermittent, professional eatery and dining experience.

What a long strange trip it’s been.

End hiatus.

We’re back in action and ready to bring you Rentaurant: Tajin.

Sunday June 14th.
6-10 PM
$10 Dinner (suggested minimum donation)
Cheep drinks.

We made rent so all proceeds are to benefit Urban Word and it’s community of extraordinary human beings. See www.urbanwordnyc.org

Please RSVP to rentaurant@gmail.com

In solidarity and chefdom,

Rentaurant Crew
