New menu items
are "cropping up" all winter long, including a melt-in-your-mouth
grouper with wasabi cream... and a marinated pork chop (bone gnawing
is encouraged) ... your easiest "Public news source" is
our Facebook page, where you'll find a lot of your friends...
Come
enjoy the tender flatiron steak, chargrilled just the way you like it,
and tilapia topped with tomato-caper salsa, or one of Jill's "international"
weekend specials, featuring the flavors of Thailand, the Mediterranean
or India. Our original creative pizzas are as fun as ever and best of
all, you can now dine
in Public Wednesday through Sunday! The kitchen is open until
at least 9 pm on Friday and Saturday — get a taste of Public Restaurant!

Public Lounge was
the "spirited" point of departure to the Great Beyond during
Roxbury's ghoulish Ghost Tours last October. Brave "spectrologists"
boarded the Victorian horse drawn coach for encounters with Roxbury's
most notorious dear departed. First, though, they were treated to scary
mountain lore from "Gory Laurie" McIntosh, food specials,
even some "spirit" warmth before they set out. The Public's
spooky-chic staff was be decked out to startle and amaze and even some
of Roxbury's ghosts came by after moonset to liven up the crowd.

New Year's fun!
The
Public also made quite a splash in 1898 during Roxbury's Turn of the
Century Days with a Beer Garden serving savory sausage 'til the dogs
came home. The old-fashioned fun went on well into the evening and in
the Public during some of the most perfect, balmy Catskills summer nights
we've seen in a century or two. . . . And
don't worry, the 19th century will be coming around again next summer
and will be more "agreeable" than ever... Meanwhile, you can
look forward to . . .
