Anthony David’s 20th Anniversary Block Party

September 17, 2018 By

On Saturday, September 29, Chef Anthony and Liz Pino invite you to join them as they celebrate the 20th anniversary of the day that they opened the doors of Anthony David’s (http://anthonydavids.com) at 953 Bloomfield Street, Hoboken, their hometown. What began as a modest gourmet shop became a local culinary landmark and the foundation of Pino Hospitality, a hometown family business that has brought people together for two decades.

Chef Pino

The charming block of 10th Street between Washington and Bloomfield Streets will be set with tables for outdoor dining; along with Anthony David’s renowned brunch, Chef Pino will man a sizzling outdoor grill to serve a 1998 Blue Plate Special: Herb-Roasted Chicken with sides including Dijon Potato Salad, Penne with Feta, or Potato Pancakes. Anthony’s original, famous Crab Cake will also be on the menu, alongside a Sangria bar serving Unionville Wines.

There will be vibrant live music from renowned local band Swingadelic, and fun activities for the kids. An anniversary ribbon-cutting, bringing together 20 years of past and present Hoboken Mayors, Bhalla, Zimmer, and Roberts, will mark the occasion.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Hudson County CASA, a foster children’s organization and longtime beneficiary of the Pinos’ philanthropic efforts. The first 100 guests will receive a goody bag of nostalgic Anthony David’s treats and gifts from other longtime business neighbors.

Brunch reservations can be made by calling 201-222-8399.

Anthony David’s – 953 Bloomfield Street, Hoboken, NJ 07031.

Today is the day. The anticipation is over. Sexy, buzz-worthy Porter Collins is opening tonight to the excitement of diners in northern New Jersey and beyond.

I was at last week’s pre-grand opening party and I can say that Chef Anthony and Liz Pino, owners/founders of Pino Hospitality, have a sure winner on their hands with their newest restaurant project, Porter Collins. The restaurant is designed by Robert Feinstein of Studio One Architects and it is simply gorgeous.

Self-proclaimed as “Hoboken’s go-to spot for classically crafted cocktails and inventive American cuisine”, Porter Collins is located right on Willow Avenue at 15th Street in the up-and-coming uptown area of Hoboken, New Jersey.

The Pinos already own two popular restaurants in Hoboken, Anthony David’s and Bin 14, and with Porter Collins, they will offer inventive American cuisine in an expansive, stylish, mid-century modern space that seats 180 diners. A spacious dining area is flanked by two cocktail bars, a raw bar and a private event space. The kitchen features a wood-burning oven. For now, dinner is available with lunch and brunch to come later.

Welcome to the Garden State Porter Collins!

Porter Collins – 1426 Willow Avenue, Hoboken, NJ.

About HALIFAX
Opened in 2016, Halifax restaurant features North-Eastern farm and coastal cuisine, with an emphasis on local and sustainable ingredients. Most the product served, if not made in house, comes from famers, fisherman, and artisans from Delaware north to the restaurant’s namesake, Halifax – the capitol of Nova Scotia. Executive Chef Seadon Shouse puts his personal touch on offerings by creating house-smoked meats and seafood, authentic vermouth, as well as sea salt, made from water straight out of Montauk.

Cheers,

Veronique
