We were surprised by some of our favorite people a week or so ago! Marcus, Natalie and Joanna were the core members of the original Side Street Crew in 2009. It was fun to show them the changes, to reminisce, and to catch up on each other's lives. Let's face it... this place never would have opened or stayed open without these people :)
A few things you should know:
#1 We have a LOBSTER MARTINI NOW! Crazy, right? Actually, no, the only thing that's crazy is that you haven't tried it! This is a vodka martini with a carefully prepared lobster broth and other "secret ingredients." And did I mention that there it's served with a full lobster skewer? It may be $14.95, but we make it worth every penny!
Thank you Maija Leyendecker for being such a devoted taste tester as we perfected the recipe...
Meet Matt B. and his lovely lady - He was our very 1st Lobster Martini patron. I won't divulge how many of them he drank during his week here, but let's just say that he was a fan ;) We miss you guys already - you are our favorite kind of customers!
#2 WE HAVE A GRILLED FLUFFERNUTTER SUNDAE... 'nuff said. It's everything that you could hope and dream. We're just waiting for a call from The Food Network!
#3 The Bar Harbor Times Best of the Best Ballots are Out and it's time to Cast your VOTE!!!!
Do you have a favorite Realtor (Erica Brooks obviously!) or Home Builder (hello? Jeff Young ;)) This is the place to let your vote be heard. Last year, you all made Side Street feel SO loved - Best Burger, Best Lobster Roll, Best Chef, Best Kids Menu, Best Business Lunch, Best Family Lunch, AND Best Healthy Lunch. THANK YOU for your votes. We have ballots available at Side Street, so stop by during our amazing HAPPY HOUR (Including 1/2 priced WINGS) to try one of our prefect MARGARITAS or MARTINIS while you eat a SANDWICH, BURGER, LOBSTER ROLL, or LOBSTER STEW while listening to LIVE MUSIC on our OUTDOOR PATIO. It's a total coincidence that the words in bold are also categories on the Best of the Best ballot ;)
At the end of the day, the Best of the Best competition and gala are for a good cause - to raise money for Island Connections, so it's nice to keep the whole thing fun! We just love to be a part of it :)
#3 Tuesday is the New Saturday, so mark your calendars! The Larks are playing at Side Street from 8-10 on Tuesday the 26th, yes.... THIS TUESDAY. It's always a fun time to stop in for drinks, food and rock and roll. Let's all admit that by Tuesday night we need a little pick-me up - well, here it is! Come hear one of MDI's fave bands. Stay tuned in August because we plan to have bands equally as fun every Tuesday night.
