2009 is all
about change ... and what you want in Public! The new Kitchen is here
and the Public has expanded its lounge and dining area.
New
menu items are arriving daily (The West Indian Pumpkin Soup has met with
bowl-scraping affirmation already... and our popular Mushroom Barley Soup
is completely vegetarian.) Or enjoy a tender flatiron steak, chargrilled
just the way you like it, with one of our fresh new salads. Our original
creative pizzas and quesadillas are still on offer 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 the new Public!

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.

1898 was a good year, too!

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 . . .

and foam.
