When Tony Mart's became so busy in the spring and summer
that it was necessary to close and recover in the off-season in the
late 50s and 60s, we had a proud tradition of a grand reopening with
huge hydrangea flowers everywhere celebrating Palm Sunday and the
coming Easter weekend holiday. It was after that time that the
weekend action began building in Ocean City and Somers Point and all
along the Jersey shore.
To help us celebrate this event we will have a
visit from no less than "Tony Mart, Jr." himself sharing the sweet
childhood memories of those sensational good times when we started
another tremendous year of entertainment and "good times" in Somers
Point. We are so pleased that we will be able to commemorate that
occasion with our first event of the year featuring Billy Walton and
Danny Eyer along with "Old-School" Jimmy Glenn, and a fun evening of
entertainment entitled "Danny's Beatles versus Billy Stones" on Palm
Sunday this year!
In addition to hearing the two great guitar players
perform Beatles and Stones classics, we will have a palate pleasing
evening of wine and beer tastings courtesy of our co-sponsor, Circle
Liquor Store.
The donation of $45 on Sunday, March 28th, includes
the show, two beer or wine tasting sessions and an excellent,
high-quality delicious two course meal from Fitzpatrick's Steakhouse
and Deli. As you can imagine, the reservations are moving briskly
and next week we will preview the delicious offerings Chef Billy
will present on the menu.
If you cannot be with us that day please make a donation
to help the performing artists who are urgently in need of support
due to the lack of normal engagements during the pandemic. Please go
to
Tony Mart Cares, GoFundMe or contact
us directly at
tonymartcares@gmail.com to make any donation large
or small.
Danny Eyer will be visiting with us this week on
the show to share his excitement and gratitude to everyone in our
extended family for the support.
We will enjoy a savory review of one of the finest
southwestern restaurants in the United States, El Charro, the oldest
continuously operating restaurant celebrating it's 99th anniversary.
El Charro is one of the reasons our beautiful city of Tucson was
placed on the UNESCO world heritage site as one of the most
outstanding locations for Southwestern cuisine. Thanks to the
finest air dried beef jerky known as Carne Seca; over stuffed
poblano chili rellenos and Nancy's favorite seafood enchiladas with
a mild green chili cream sauce. The sous chef of the Tony Mart
family is here cooking and partying with us in southern Arizona and
"TP" Tony Previti will be joining us for some culinary observations
and fun.
We want to thank the Circle Liquor Store for again
stepping up and offering to donate all the beer and wine as they
co-sponsor the first event entitled "Danny's Beatles versus Billy‘s
Stones." As always we will have some great suggestions for the best
beer and wine bargains at Circle Liquor Store which will not be
beaten by any other competitor. Bring any price, any advertised
special to the Circle and they will meet or beat it! In order to
even better serve the immediate community in South Jersey, Circle
Liquor Store is now delivering to Ocean City, Somers Point and
Linwood. Additionally, you can call in your order and get curb
service as one of the friendly and hospitable Circle Liquor
personnel will actually bring your purchases out to your car. It is
amazing that they have been able to serve the increased demand
with a huge variety of diverse and exotic tequilas, rare and hard to
find bourbons and whiskeys, the very latest and exclusive seasonal
and limited microbrews and craft beers. Seven days a week from 9 AM
till 10 PM with delivery every day but Sunday Circle Liquor Store
remains the best independent liquor store in the world serving and
supporting our own South Jersey community.
