It’s a Halloween and we’ll be taking it in at the Deli with a bit of music tonight courtesy of Wes Jagoe (who is also our music guru, arranging our music nights). Wes will be playing from 8:00 pm till 10:00, (10 is a ballpark estimate). So if you get a chance, pop by. We’d love to see you.

And as a head’s up … Next Saturday (November 7), Terry Whalen will perform beginning at 8:00 pm.

With all these mentions of time, we should also toss out a reminder that tonight is the night we turn clocks back an hour as we go back to Standard Time. So as of tomorrow, mornings shouldn’t be quite as dark. Late afternoon, however, will. 🙂

Finally, there’s a nice article in the Telegraph-Journal about next week’s Chop Chop “Feast”-ival here in Saint John. It’s the one titled Saint John restos want foodies to Chop chop. It’s worth a read.

Hope to see you tonight — and have a great Halloween!

Yes, we’ve neglected urbandeli.ca as we’ve been busily getting the Urban Deli (the actual restaurant) ready for the opening, which we’re hoping will be the end of June. And it will be, barring the unforeseen … You know, like earthquake, alien invasions or similar unplanned for calamities.

It hasn’t all been hammers and nails over here on King, however. A week or two ago Liz and her compadres made a trip to New York City (where her sister, Michael-ann, lives). It wasn’t a pleasure trip (though it was loads of fun). Liz was doing some “research” of NYC delis and picking up some necessities for the restaurant, like a steamer, plates and bowls and other equipment. We’ll do a separate post on the New York trip soon. Today, we’re just letting you know that while we’re working on getting the restaurant ready, we’re also getting our bums in gear as far as the site goes.

By the way, you’ll find a nice piece about us in the June edition of Streetscope, the monthly newsletter from Uptown Saint John. It’s the “New Business Feature – The Urban Deli.” It’s great feeling we’re a part of the city’s uptown!

Lastly, we had an absolutely fabulous time at the Fundy Food Festival here in Saint John last Saturday. We were giving people a taste of our ribs but at the same time we were tasting some of the foods other restaurants and food related businesses were providing. The chefs in SJ are absolutely incredible.

Does everyone in Saint John realize how good the food is here? As the saying goes, “To die for …”
