I’m not sure if this event will take place on Fat Tuesday March 1, 2022.
Edit > The party officially starts at 7:00, and ends at 9:00 for all you can eat pizza. We can stay until 10:00, although most people leave after 9:00 ish. Everything is included. Tax. Tip. Soda. Water. Seltzer.
Di Fara’s in Brooklyn is currently closed. If our event takes place, it will be at their Lower east Side (LES) location on Stanton Street. https://www.difarapizzany.com/location/manhattan-lower-east-side/
I’ve asked several past attendees if they’re interested in attending. The responses were mixed. I know it’s Covid times, this is why I’m asking. It’s possible to push back the date. FYI, Covid rates in New York City are dropping. They were hovering at 3% over the weekend, and it’s been dropping dramatically. The other issue (?) is the cost of all you can eat pizza this year is $65 - $70 per person. In 2020, it was $50 - $55. If you think it’s a lot of money for pizza I wouldn’t disagree. Someone told me that while the cost is getting up there, $65 for a wine and pizza dinner with Berserkers is a good idea.
That said, please post here if you’re interested in attending. Our past offline’s were limited to 20 people. Margaret told me that it’s ok if we have less than 20 people. The good news is that I don’t have to guarantee any minimum.
This event is a nice mix of regulars and new folks. Have a question, please ask. You can bring any wine or Champagne. Everything goes with pizza.
If 10 people sign up, the event is on. Otherwise, I’ll talk to them about re-scheduling. Your thoughts are appreciated.
edited Post 54 has the up to date list of wine.
