BIG NEWS!

special note from thomas.

Chef Kyle Smith
Hanger Steak
Ricotta Dumplings
Yes, it's been far too long since we sent a newsletter but 2018 was an interesting year full of change and growth for manhattans.

I'm very excited to formally introduce you to our new chef, Kyle Smith. Kyle joined our team in September and rolled out a new menu on Oct. 17/18. A momentous day and an even more delicious menu. This was a big step for manhattans. Never before have we had a chef-driven kitchen. Our philosophy has stayed the same, fresh, from scratch, and locally sourced food whenever possible. Of course, we still have our delicious designer pizzas with some new toppings to try but we've really raised the bar.  Change isn't always easy but we've learned it can be mighty tasty ;)

Kyle hails from Milton. He trained at George Brown and has worked as a cook in Ireland, Whistler, downtown Toronto (5 yrs) and Guelph, which he now calls home.

Our new favourites include the Mussels, Steak Tartare, Arctic Char, Beef Cheek Pappardelle + Sonny Rollins Pizza.
toque food issue
Manhattans and our new menu was recently highlighted in TOQUE Magazine - The Food Issue. If you haven't already, pick one up! This recycled paper rag is pretty special and we feel so honoured to have been a part of it from the start. Chris Tiessen + Cai Sepulis are the dream team that have worked so hard to make this regional lookbook a reality. It's a source for everything local + fun - a true celebration of community, ideas, and creativity. Inspiring. Truly.
Reserve Now on OpenTable
In addition to a new website, 2018 also brought us into the 21st century with online reservations! If you are a group of 8 or more, it is still recommended that you call to make your reservation but we do hope that you enjoy the convenience of reserving a table online, anytime! You can find a link to OpenTable on our home page as well as our contact page.
NEW WINES!

2016 Giordano, Primitivo Di Manduria DOC
Red and dark berries, vanilla, oak, dried fruit and spice on the nose. Light warm, smooth and rich. Smooth and delicate tannins.

2016 Prinz Von Hessen Riesling
A refreshing, dry Riesling. Notes of tangy citrus fruit, crisp green apple and red vineyard peaches shine through in its bouquet. On the palate, this Riesling is well balanced and harmonious. Simply, an enjoyable, versatile wine ideally suited to top off the workday or savour on the weekend.
Here's what we've got on the go THIS WEEKEND!

The Indonesian Pizza has returned for a limited time. This pizza is the reason this newsletter began as everyone wanted to be notified of when we'd be serving it up. Made with a spicy peanut sauce base and topped with fresh mango, snow peas, mozzarella, and kecap manis marinated chicken - it's a true favourite!

We are the new hosts of momondays - Guelph starting this Mon. Jan. 28. This ticketed event will be the last Monday of every month. 

What is momondays you ask?

"By blending entertainment with personal growth, and by providing a format with real people, real stories and real inspiration, momondays is...a professional platform on which we can...connect on a deeper human level and in some (not so small) way, we increase peace, love and understanding in the world… and have fun at the same time!"

NEW ART SHOW - Nancy Farrell
NEW ART SHOW!

contemporary paintings
by Nancy Farrell
(Jan. 21-Mar. 18)

Nancy Farrell's abstract and expressive contemporary paintings are full of colour + emotion.

Her process: "I enter into the “space” of each blank canvas with no agenda. My painting begins by applying random colours, lines and shapes onto canvas or paper. The painting surface develops slowly with layer upon layer of paint. Personal symbols are often included as imagery evolves. Images flux, and motion becomes visible."
Finally, I'd like to personally thank you for your continued love and support of manhattans. Many of you have noticed my absence from the shop over the course of the year. I've been taking the time to refresh and get my health in order. 25 years is a long time in this business, folks.....but I'm honestly excited about getting back to work, eating all of Kyle's delicious creations, and very much look forward to reconnecting with all of you in 2019.

See you in the club!

Peace + Love,
Thomas
