We can’t wait to see our Wild Gourmet Food friends, Les Hook and Nova Kim, who will be bringing mushrooms they’ve gathered as part of an amazing vegetarian dinner. We’ve got a few tickets remaining (buy online until 3 p.m. and check at the door – you can call 212-982-3006 – after 3) for tonight’s Wild Mushroom Prix Fixe Dinner and Talk at 6 p.m. Tickets are $25 (plus tax, gratuity and drinks), but the value of a sit down with Les and Nova is priceless. Regular bar/restaurant service is still available, but if you want to join us in the backroom, get your tickets before we’re sold out!

Today’s Thursday Tap™  is a very cool collaboration beer: Evil Twin’s Mini Growler. This amazing Imperial Stout (12% ABV) was brewed by Denmark’s Evil Twin at Westbrook Brewing Company (Charleston, SC). It’s southern flare from Denmark! Or Danish influence in the South. Jimmy taps at 5 p.m., and this interesting and unusual beer will be available while supplies last. As always, regular bar/restaurant service and our Thursday night oysters also available.

As we gear up for December’s Battle of the Belgians and Belgian Beer Vegetarian Dinner, we’ll  be focusing on some of our favorite interesting and unusual beers from Belgium. Tonight we invite you to a special Belgian beer promotion – featuring $6 bottles of Kwak and Tripel Karmeliet – to benefit Rockaways hurricane relief.  A portion of each purchase will go to help our friends in the Rockaways, where the boardwalk concessions (along with businesses and homes) were destroyed in Hurricane Sandy. Regular bar/restaurant service also available.

At Jimmy’s No. 43, we have had a great series of young chefs who “come of age” down in the East Village, and we love it when we can focus on dishes they love or are native to their background. As such, we have a delicious new dish we’re adding to the menu this week: Pastilles! These Dominican tamales consist of curried ground beef, mashed potatoes, and cheese. Think of it as a Spanish shepherd’s pie! Flavors from our cooks’ homelands!

We’ve got guest chefs Cathy Erway and Noah Berland in the house, cooking up a benefit brunch for Hurricane Sandy victims. $20 all you can eat (tax, tips, drinks extra) goes to benefit the Rockaways relief efforts. Until 3 today!
