Restaurant week is a clever promotional strategy originally meant to spark business for restaurants in New York City during the slow time of year. The first restaurant week was thought up by Tim Zagat and Joe Baum in 1992. Established to help boost business, restaurant week has grown in popularity since its inception. It offers many benefits for restaurant owners and can help increase sales during otherwise slow periods.

Until We Meet Again, Cheers!

May you raise a glass of “good” wine to celebrate accomplishments and to remember those near and dear to our hearts in 2023. A “good” wine above all is a glass of wine that you enjoy.

City Vino keeps me tastin’
Keeps me tryin’ with some more bubbly

As fast as Santa can circumvent the globe dropping off his packages to be opened wide-eyed children Christmas morning, the year 2022 has gone by and now we have found ourselves at the holidays, yet again. If anything was learned, especially over the past couple of years, it is that time together, with family and friends alike, is precious and truly the best of gifts.
