Important New Rule

Coming into 2013, we need to add a new important rule. We hate having to do this but a few bad apples have been wearing out the welcome for everyone else.
IMPORTANT - NEW BE COOL COVER CHARGE Please be kind to our hosts and come to Breezes for dinner or at least dessert. It's really a great place with wonderful, healthy food. If you don't order anything you will be fined $20 (or more depending on your attitude); dinner or dessert costs less than that. For the most part nearly everyone who comes has been cool, so if you're cool don't sweat it. We don't like narcing on our guests but unfortunately a few squares have been wearing out our welcome.

New New Venue Announcement

Hello GreenDrinksters!

Our hosts at Meiying's Chinese are renovating their restaurant this summer, so we have a new venue:

Breezes Caribbean Cuisine (www.breezesgrill.com). Located at 387 Main Street, it's a little part of the Caribbean right here in Metuchen!

We'll see you there in August and beyond!

New Venue Announcement

Hello Fellow GreenDrinkers,

It is with great sadness that we bid adieu to The Raconteur, which is closing at the end of January.

In February 2012 and beyond, we will be meeting down the street at Meiying's Restaurant. Family owned and operated since 1977, Meiying's is a fixture in Downtown Metuchen and offers a delicious and accessible menu of Asian cuisine.

Cheers!

December 2011 - Special Announcement!

This month we'll have a special guest, Food and Shelter Specialist Ben Walmer, to share his experiences in the connection of food to architecture, and the future of how these systems interact in our society. Ben is a principal at LIMN Architects, chef, and frequent collaborator within the local and slow food movement in the region. Ben has significant experience with natural building, passive solar, and ecological design issues. Recently, he has completed a pumicecrete and adobe project in Taos, New Mexico. He has also designed with traditional local materials while on a project in Nigeria, constructed and lived in a tipi, and, as a teenager, lived for five years sans plumbing in a remote cabin built from natural materials. As a Food specialist, Ben runs an area supper club, has cooked along side an Iron Chef, and has even built a portable wood-fired pizza oven.
