On March 22nd, Porta will be holding a five course dinner party with a Venetian inspired menu.
The dinner starts at 7pm and is $75/person. Drinks are not included which does make this a fairly expensive proposition. The menu includes:
1st - Arancini Veneziani
2nd - Risi e Bisi (Italian rice and peas)
3rd - Sardines with Polenta
4th - Liver and Onions
5th - Zabaglione Fritters with Fig.
It is limited seating so if you're interested, make sure to reserve your spot.
Yes, this is pricey. So just to be clear....
ReplyDelete$75/pp for a 5 course meal prepared by a established, successful restaurant in Porta including proteins of a popular cuisine is "fairly expensive"....
BUT $70/pp for a vegan cheap produce meal by amateur Chilltown Kitchen and an unknown chef is completely acceptable because it provides a "community feel" and is trying "to be something new"???
Cmon JCE! :-P
I am the manager of one of Manhattan's oldest Spanish restaurants and I can tell you liver and sardines are some of the cheapest proteins I can buy.
DeleteIf you do not like vegan cuisine, this is your choice. But to relentlessly call a vegan meal "cheap produce" just shows your immature bias and lack of culinary knowledge. So please, get educated and get a life.

DeleteThat's stupid expensive for both.
ReplyDeletePorta's always been overpriced, but come on now.
