New Jersey Coronavirus/Covid19 Local Restaurant Specials

I saw cartons email. That is good news for beer fans.

How do they legally do this? I honestly think it is a great thing to do but I thought this wasn’t allowed by law.

I think the state granted an exception for “to go”/carryout liquor purchases as part of the shutdown. The delivery trucks for the liquor stores have been all over the place in my neighborhood last day or two.
Bottle King is a $50 minimum for delivery and Circus is $100 for free delivery.

Yeah, Bond Street is selling bottles of liquor, their first advertised prices were high and the next day they were adjusted.
Bottle of Tito’s was showing $50 and day two it was $30, still high considering it wasn’t a handle

You are correct Sir.

yeah I think they are adjusting - I’ll pay a small markup for privilege of grabbing something with my meal on pickup but not the two three times markup as is custom for dine in. Think they are seeing that is new normal for time being.

My first impression of this menu - doesn’t seem like a $145 menu, especially for lasagna. I missed the “serves 4-6 people”. So I guess pretty in line with what other restaurants are offering. Having a single menu for multiple people is probably much more efficient and cost effective than having to prepare 4 different meals. When I was catering we hated when the client ordered 6 1/2 trays for a large group when it really made more sense to get 3 full trays.

It does look like a nice menu and I can see them getting some business off this. With tax, 39.xx a person for 4 people (not including any type of tip)

Wow really? Didn’t see that coming, perhaps @gcaggiano was correct and his message was more ominous than I read it.

Well, the way they worded their Instagram was a lot more cheerful (they have a top notch social media team at the Creamery-- I felt that way since they opened), but yes, the end result is the same.

Several restaurants offering six-packs of beer included with burgers/meals. Good deal yes, but reading between the lines shows another way to clear out inventory before a closure.

Thank you! My daughter was a part of their social media team for awhile!

Tell her she did a great job.

Honestly, from the very beginning, they were spot on with a blend of fun, funny, quirky, and informative. Other businesses should take note.

I will tell her thank you. Now she works for MGM digital marketing so it was certainly a good stepping stone for her.

Well Nicholas just posted that takeout orders for Thursday and Friday are sold out. So they are keeping it going, only with a dramatically reduced staff.
