News for Foodies 11.03.16
Montauk does not shut down after Labor Day, or even Columbus Day, contrary to the belief of some. The Clam and Chowder House at Salivar’s has decided to stay open for November, and maybe even December, depending on business.
Beginning Friday, Nov. 11, it will serve lunch and dinner Fridays through Sundays. Sushi will be off the menu, but there will be lunch and dinner specials daily.
Thanksgiving Thoughts
It’s not too early . . . the Montauk Yacht Club will be one option for a Thanksgiving buffet, at $39.95 for adults and $15.95 for children. Kids under age 6 can eat for free. The yacht club will also have special room rates for the Thanksgiving holiday.
At the 1770 House in East Hampton, Thanksgiving will bring a three-course prix fixe holiday meal served from 2 to 8 p.m. for $95 per person. Two courses for children 12 and under will cost $40. Beverages, tax, and gratuities are not included.
The menu will include starters such as roasted wild mushroom soup, salad with local beets, fennel, and apple, or Brussels sprouts and roasted cauliflower, spicy Montauk fluke tartare, and Peconic Bay scallops. Turkey will be the main course, with sides, although there will also be fish, meat, and vegetarian choices.
For those having guests, Breadzilla in Wainscott is taking orders not only for Thanksgiving feast items — from turkey and wood-roasted meats and side dishes to pies and tarts — but also for breakfast cakes, muffins, and scones, and egg dishes including Spanish tortillas and quiche.
Dinner and a Movie
Rowdy Hall in East Hampton has reintroduced its dinner-and-a-movie special. Sunday through Wednesday, a beef or turkey burger can be ordered along with a voucher for the East Hampton Cinema, for $22. A beer, glass of wine, or dessert can be added for an extra $6 or $7. On Thursdays, the special choices are expanded to include fish and chips, meatloaf, or mussels, along with burgers. Vegetarian lasagna or chili is always an option.
Page Prix Fixe
A fall prix fixe at Page restaurant in Sag Harbor includes two courses for $29 and three courses for $35. It is offered all night on Sundays and Mondays, Tuesdays through Thursdays until 7:30 p.m., and Fridays and Saturday nights until 6:30.
Making Beach Plum Jelly
Reservations are being taken for a workshop on making beach plum jelly next Thursday night at 6 at the Rogers Mansion in Southampton. Co-sponsored by the Southampton Historical Museum and the Rogers Memorial Library, the session will be led by Elizabeth Yastrzemski, a baker and floral and garden designer.
Each participant will go home with two jars of jelly. Refreshments will be served. Those interested can register by calling the museum. The cost is $35, or $25 for museum members.
