Dear Telepan friends,
I hope you had a great summer and were able to spend time with your family and friends taking advantage of the wonderful season we've had. I am really looking forward to this fall -- the summer weather has produced conditions for superb Autumn produce.
Our Facebook and Twitter pages include specials and additions to the menu. Or, look to the menus for updates.
September 27th - 30th Harvest Dinner
September is when we say goodbye to summer and hello to fall. This month's dinner will honor all of the farmers at the Greenmarket and bridge the two seasons with a five-course tasting menu (with which you can pair some special wines if you choose). The menu is $85 per person with a portion of the proceeds being donated to Grow NYC in honor of Eat Drink Local Week.
Pre & Post Theatre Special Menu - Mondays through Thursdays
On Monday thru Thursday, if you order before 6:15 or after 9:30, we offer our special $39 three-course tasting menu. As we're just a four-block stroll from Lincoln Center, those going to or coming from the theater can take advantage of our seasonal menu before or after the show. Or simply drop in early or late to join us.
Sunday Burger & Barbaresco Nite!
We continue to celebrate our favorite Italian wines to pair with the Telepan Burger. There are a range of wines offered by the glass and in half bottles that do justice to the big flavors. We will have these wines, from Piemonte and Tuscany, featured on our wine list!
Semi-private room available for up to 20 people
With the holidays fast approaching, please remember that Telepan has a semi-private dining room which will accommodate up to 20 people, perfect for that celebratory or seasonal dinner. Please call Scott Mayger, our General Manager, to inquire.
We will be attending the following:

September is also Back-to-School time and we are working hard at Wellness in the Schools, a not-for-profit organization that is making a difference for children by advocating for and providing access to good food in New York City Public Schools. We will begin training our newly hired WITS-in-Residence cooks, who will be cooking from scratch alongside the NYC public school cooks. And will be teaching kids and parents about cooking and eating healthy. I am honored to be joined by restaurant partners in our schools -- please visit the website for more details and a list of our chef partners.
I look forward to cooking for you soon,
Bill Telepan |
