Channeling Bill Hader’s brilliant Stefon character from SNL , this week’s news has all the bells and whistles from a terrific deal in July that doesn’t require eating at 5 p.m. to fun foodie events celebrating two countries’ independence.
There’s also an announcement about the famous top toque for the Naples Winter Wine Festival’s 25th anniversary and other charitable activities at local restaurants.
A reminder: Prices do not include tax, tip or beverages unless otherwise noted.
Fancy for $35
From July 7 to July 31, The Ritz-Carlton resorts in Naples offer what sounds like summer’s best dinner deal: a “dining passport.” For $35, score three courses at four restaurants. At the beach property, there’s Dusk , the sushi spot; Nolita , for Italian; and Sofra , modern Eastern Mediterranean cuisine. At Tiburón, the golf resort, the Latin American-influenced Ria is participating.
Why is this a great deal? There are ample choices, and it runs until closing time. Reservations are recommended and a dedicated website with more info is at linktr.ee/diningpassport . Bring cash for the valet.
