Greetings!

We had our end of August holidays as planned!  We are very sorry for any inconvenience this caused - I've talked with a number of regular visitors who did not know the dates of our closing, & came for a meal & were disappointed to find the door locked.

Tthe BR had a great old time during the 2 weeks closed-- new floor job, new paint job & many small "updates" that you may notice when you visit.  Several bits were done based on your recommendations.  Thank you for taking time to let us know what would make The BR more comfortable for you.

Now, we are back in full swing & hope to see you again soon if you haven't made a visit since summer.

Our hours of operation:
Monday & Tuesday: 7qm - 6pm
Wednesday - Saturday: 7 am - 9pm
Sunday: 8 am - 2pm


Music @ Dinner: Fridays & Saturdays
A fabulous Chanteur - Paige Stewart & Great jazz

Last spring we tried out music with dinners on Fridays.  It was a great success!  We are pleased to continue traditional, classic jazz on Fridays with Doug Miller & Bernard Geiger. They play from 6 - 9 & their music really suits The BR - our patrons & our space.  If you haven't made a visit for Friday dinner yet, please call for a reservation soon!  It is a great night out.

We are thrilled to have Paige Stewart sing @ The BR on Saturday nights.  She & her husband, Clark (on keyboard) bring us The Great American Songbook & it is such a joy to hear these classics sung by a rich & full voice, late of NYC clubs of renown.  Join us & you will know why I am so thankful that Paige chose the BR as a spot to sing!

Bread Update
Challah on Fridays - braided & so flavorful - it is really flying off the shelves, so call to reserve one for yourself.




Private parties @ The BR
Sundays, Mondays & Tuesdays we are  quite popular for private parties - corporate entertaining, bridal & baby showers, special birthdays & more.  Please call & let us know what you'd like to do -- we are happy to work with you to make the party just what you want!
Thinking about a small gathering?  The BR has 2 private rooms & we are happy to work with you to assure that you have all that you need & want for your guests. 
In the gourmet / gifts area

Think of The BR when you need a hostess gift, a gift for your "foodie" friends or just something nice for someone you know.  From scones & jam to bread & dips - we are a stones throw away & we have the best products going.
We will put a basket together, deliver it & send it along with your card -- easy peasy.

New products:

Muirhead, in Ringoes, NJ is now providing us with their very special pumpkin butter & a range of other butters, mincemeats & special mustards

Our pure maple syrup is a favorite with many.  Now you can purchase a bottle of the same syrup we use - it is New England "gold" & delicious.

One of our favorite partners, School House Kitchen has 4 new products - Anytime Spreadable Fruits.  They will be on our shelves this week.  http://www.schoolhousekitchen.com/AnytimeSpreadableFruits a good soup accompaniment.

Coming soon:  Holiday Petit fours ~ Halloween & Thanksgiving
Holiday truffles ~ pumpkin spice & lovely little halloween special chocolates!
