From the guys who brought you the Velvet Cigar Lounge...

Affettati has announced the grand opening of an Italian Osteria located at 131 East 7^th Street at Avenue A, in the East Village of New York City (212-228-6785).  (We did not go far, only 1 block east of the Velvet Cigar Lounge)  Affettati, which means "sliced" in Italian, will have an artisanal selection of the finest imported Italian specialties.  Aged cured meats, artisinal cheese, fine wine & craft beer.....what else do you need?   

This Friday and Saturday we will be launching our new Italian imported craft beer selection.  Italy is developing some of the most interesting and exciting brews around.  We will be holding tastings both Friday and Saturday.

Over the next few weeks we will be holding tastings as we build our inventory of Italy's finest wine, prosecco and beer.  Mention this email and your first drink is on us. 

We hope to see you soon.
