Santiago $10 per Puerto Rican Dinner Fundraiser

A special report by The Tremonster

Jim Santiago held a $10 Puerto Rican dinner fundraiser after 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 7.  His daughter is going to Europe, so this entrepreneurial Tremonster rolled up his sleeves and threw a Puerto Rican cookout party for his neighbors in the W 14th Street & Bhurer Avenue area in support of the trip.

Santiago charged $10 per person for a share of two large outdoor grills worth of his “West Side Barbeque,” which attracted many customers with an irresistible aroma that filled the streets of Tremont’s lower east side after 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.

If you missed it, don’t worry — Santiago has another $10/Puerto Rican dinner fundraiser planned for after 2:00 p.m. on June 14, in his yard at 1328 Buhrer Avenue. Continue reading

A special report by The Tremonster

Crust Tremont has been closed for the past two days as it installed a brand-new, custom-made pizza oven.  Mike Griffin, CRUST owner/operator, was most impressed with the American company that supplied the new oven for CRUST, Marsal & Sons, Inc., located in Lindenhurst, New York.

Griffin said, “When you order it they start building it from scratch in New York — it comes from Limehurst, New York.  They built this from scratch, and they’ve got stone slabs lining the oven bottom.  This is what we’ve got going at our new downtown location [opening soon — keep an eye on The Tremonster for updates].”

As for why CRUST needed a new pizza oven, Griffin said, “We couldn’t keep up with our pizza orders with that little oven…it was crazy — especially on the weekends — it was too much.”
