| Hey There, Dedicated Eaters! |
| Even though the weather is still slightly schizo, we sent our best photographer (okay, more like our awesome intern Will) to get snapshots of new outdoor dining spaces we can’t wait to hit up this season. And since dining outdoors is nothing without a little booze, we caught up with genius mixologist Katie Loeb to find out about her newest project. Lastly, we introduce a new Restaurant Club feature: Help a Member Out, where you ask us a question, we talk to some experts to get the answer, and then other Restaurant Club members weigh in. Got a PG-rated question about dining around town? E-mail me! |

| We love the crudos — cold, thin slices of simply dressed fresh fish — the most at Old City’s Positano Coast. Restaurant Club members who mention this newsletter will get one crudo-of-the-day per table for free when they purchase an entrée, Monday through Thursday, until June 9th. | ||
