Thursday Sips & Nibbles

I'm back again with a new edition of Sips & Nibbles, my regular column where I highlight some interesting, upcoming food and drink events. I hope everyone dines out safely, tips well and are nice to their servers.

1) August is packed with reasons to visit The Wellington as the Belmont Center neighborhood spot celebrates National Sandwich Month, and the height of New England's summer with new seasonal menu offerings available throughout the month.

In honor of National Sandwich Month, The Wellington is offering guests even more value during lunch service throughout August. Every Tuesday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., guests who order any lunch sandwich will receive their choice of fries or side salad, plus a complimentary rotating surprise second side.

The weekly rotating bonus side will feature seasonal favorites such as potato salad, seasoned rice, and corn ribs, giving guests something new to discover with each visit. The promotion is available with all lunch sandwiches, including the Caprese Sandwich, Fried Chicken Sandwich, and New York Bodega Chopped Cheese Sub.

As the Dog Days of Summer are amongst us, The Wellington is also introducing new seasonal dishes that showcase fresh ingredients and New England flavors.

New menu additions include:
Caprese Flatbread ($21) – Heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, oregano,maldon sea salt, drizzled with aged balsamic and EVOO
Pan-Seared Salmon ($36) – Pan seared faroe island salmon, sautéed heirloom tomatoes, native corn, potato gnocchi, basil (available gluten-free)
Shrimp & Corn Chowder ($18) – Summer corn and tender shrimp in a rich, creamy broth

Adding to the summer festivities, The Wellington continues to offer live entertainment throughout the weekend. Guests can enjoy Friday Night Live Music featuring Malin & Friends from 8:00-10:00 p.m., Saturday Night Live Music with Morningside Music Studio from 7:30-9:30 p.m., and the restaurant's popular Sunday Live Jazz Brunch from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., featuring live jazz from rotating artists alongside brunch favorites. Whether gathering for cocktails, dinner, or a leisurely weekend brunch, guests can pair The Wellington's seasonal menu with live local entertainment all weekend long. 

"August is one of the best times of year to enjoy everything New England has to offer, from fresh seafood and local produce to relaxing afternoons and evenings spent outdoors," said Joe Arkinstall, General Manager of The Wellington. "We wanted to create a month filled with reasons for both our regular guests and first-time visitors to stop by, whether it's for lunch, happy hour, or dinner. These seasonal promotions and new menu additions celebrate the flavors of summer while giving guests something new to experience throughout the month."
