Ring in 2011 with us!

Just a short while ago I was madly rushing around getting things ready for our first night when the delicious, hunger-inducing aromas of Ginevra's chicken stock reminded me of the raison d'etre for THIRSTBARAVIN. This morning, I'm addressing the to-do list and looking forward to celebrating our first New Year's Eve. Emilia's put together a great menu that demonstrates what the kitchen is capable of. There are still some reservations available. Call us at 718.857.9227 to make one.

Shaved Raw Fennel and Radish Salad
Tortellini en Brodo
Bollito Misto (Beef Tongue and Brisket with Two Sauces)

It's a gas, gas. gas...

We're about to take off. The holding pattern, the waiting, will soon be in the rear view mirror, will quickly become a distant memory. We look forward to creating great memories for us and for you.

Hold Up

There's a hold up but we have our license in hand, which is not a bad place to be. We keep attacking the to-do list. Yes, October has escaped our grasp. But we're damn close.

Damn close.

October's here

Who suddenly turned the thermostat down thirty degrees?  A few more hurdles to leap before opening. But it's imminent. Watch this space for details.
