JONES WOOD FOUNDRY on the UES
To provide an authentic and convivial location for watching the historic coronation of King Charles III, New York City's Jones Wood Foundry, the Upper East Side food driven pub that has been a beloved bastion of British fare for more than a decade, will host a breakfast for viewing the live broadcast of all the pomp and ceremony on Saturday, May 6, starting at 5:30 a.m. Complete with limited edition menu mementos, party favors, life-size cutout of the king, the queen, and ceremonially sashed servers, the two-course breakfast will be the centerpiece of "Festivities at the Foundry, a Majestic Celebratory Weekend of Royal Food, Drink and Fun" May 6 and 7.
Throughout the weekend, the evocative of a Cotswold country inn eatery will be kitted out in the regal red, white and blue of Union Jack bunting as the "vedy British" backdrop to the viewing breakfast, as well as for the introduction of new brunch and dinner menus. Captivatingly decorated with coronation-inspired graphics,* they will boast new royal related dishes and be complemented by the inauguration of the bespoke HRH 2003 cocktail.** Live music will add yet another charming note to Jones Wood Foundry's "secret garden." And the restaurant will even jump on the coronation memorabilia bandwagon with collectible a specially commissioned mug featuring a colorful caricature of the king by British artist Robert Lawton on one side and the Jones Wood Foundry-King Charles III logo on the other,
