2nd Street Market gets into a Mardi Gras mood

By Mark Fisher | Wednesday, March 2, 2011, 06:38 AM

We’ll detail some Mardi Gras special events in this Friday’s Go section of the Dayton Daily News, but the following news release from Metroparks’ Val Hunt Beerbower came in just a bit too late to include in that story. Here’s what she had to say:

The PNC 2nd Street Market is having a bit of an early celebration for Mardi Gras. This week, March 3, 4 and 5, several Market vendors will offer themed menu options for patrons to get a jump start on next week’s Fat Tuesday celebrations. The Market is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays.

Vendors’ special offerings for Mardi Gras

— All Mixed Up will sample and have on sale their Louisiana-style Red Beans and Rice Mix on Saturday, March 5. They will also have featured cocktail mixes.

— All Souped Up offers jambalaya throughout the year and will add seafood jambalaya and vegetable gumbo soup to their menu this week.

— Azra’s Mediterranean Cuisine will have King Cakes with cream cheese, cinnamon, pecan, strawberry or cherry filling available for pre-order, and New Orleans muffletta sandwiches this week. On Saturday, she will have New Orleans bread pudding with bourbon sauce.

— Black Rooster Pasta Bar will offer blackened shrimp or tilapia tossed with Cajun cream sauce served over pasta, and the famous Pane al Sole (stuffed French toast) with bourbon bananas and chicory-chocolate sauce.

— The Chef Case will be have home-style shrimp and grits on Saturday.

— If you need accessories with your meal, Colorful Me! is offering $5 off any beaded necklaces that have a special Mardi Gras purple tag (Saturday offer), and Wegerzyn Gift and Garden Shop has feathered Mardi Gras masks for sale.
