STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. When an artist spray-painted a “Cinco De Mayo” announcement on the shuttered gates of The Phoenix, West Brighton neighbors buzzed on the future of the storefront. But Burrito Bar satisfied that curiosity by announcing this week that it would be rolling into the space for a one-day gig on Cinco De Mayo.
Burrito Bars owners Kim Beckett and Andrew Greenfield will offer a pop-up restaurant at 382 Forest Avenue. For those 21-plus, eats will include $2 food specials tacos, Mexican rice balls and mini-chimichangas. A $5 menu features quesadillas plus guacamole and chips. Drink deals for May 5, 2021 are $6 margaritas and sangrias along with $5 sangrias and White Claws.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Here we are on the first Sunday in March in our COVID-19 world with no parade and zero crowds anticipated to Forest Avenue. With downplayed acknowledgment of the annual, West Brighton almost-spring rite of passage, the corned beef goodness beat goes on.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Starting out at the Advance, a former editor advised taking a break from a story and coming back to it with “fresh eyes” for a new perspective. That philosophy comes to mind with the reboot of indoor dining as we were reintroduced to such an option this past weekend.

Sue Pellegrito of West Brighton also shared her gratitude for a new take on things. She called out Burrito Bar to illustrate the sentiment. Over the weekend she enjoyed sipping beverages from a glass, dining with actual plate-ware and eating with metal utensils. During various, prior stages of COVID-19 precautions, she said Burrito Bar relied on disposable tableware.
RINGTOWN â The organizer of the boroughâs first Olde Fashioned Christmas event said she hopes it puts the borough on the map.
âIâm hoping it will wake the town up,â said Cheri Linkchorst. âThe town has a lot to offer.â
Several hundred people, most of whom wore face masks, showed up on a snowy Saturday to the boroughâs inaugural event, co-hosted by the Ringtown Rotary Club and Pine Hollow Soaps of Ringtown.
The event kicked off Saturday with a short parade featuring fire trucks, one of which blasted Christmas music, from the Ringtown Valley Fire and Rescue Company, and Santa Claus, assisted by two people dressed as elves, driving down Main Street.
