The Goulash Gauntlet

Gypsy Quickie!
Try as I might, I just can’t seem to get the long-winded Gypsy email you’re all accustomed to written and out the door, so here’s just a little quick how-do-you-do with a wee present for you at the end! Longer letter later, with details of Gypsy’s brush with Hollywood as we (sort of) took part in the filming of “Love and Other Drugs” to come!

Gypsy CLOSED Turkey Day and Friday!
Once again, the immediate Gypsy family and friends who can’t make it home will be having pot luck Thanksgiving here at the restaurant. We’re closed for service, and also closed for service Friday, November 27th for our own Miss Katie’s wedding!

Are you stuck with side dish duty? Chef Jim and I will be here all day Thursday for your Goulash Procurement Needs (see below!)
