“Snowing, shoveling, sledding then dining,” said the email I just received from Brothers Moon in Hopewell, reassuring all that they’re open tonight, They even included their list of specials, below, which sound scrumptious. Great timing Will!
It was a beautiful snow.
Hope digging out wasn’t too bad.
We are open for dinner this evening.
It’s warm inside, the food has been delivered and prepared.
So grab a bottle and come on down.
Enjoy, Chef Will
