Joel Harris, already well-versed in the art of making burritos, recently sent his chefs to Brooklyn and West Haven, Conn., to learn how to cook brick-oven pizza.
His goal at the time – and, because his newest vision has yet to open here, one that continues to this day – was to make a pizza that people have wanted but have not been able to find. At least not in the immediate downtown area.
PORTSMOUTH Presenters at an economic forum Tuesday morning were bullish on businesses recovering from effects of the COVID-19 pandemic but said issues that predated the pandemic a need for workers and housing for those workers will persist.
Will Arvelo, New Hampshire’s economic development director, local restaurateur Jay McSharry, and New Hampshire Business Review editor Jeff Feingold shared the stage Arvelo and McSharry in person, Feingold remotely at the Seacoast Repertory Theatre for the forum put on by the Chamber Collaborative of Greater Portsmouth.
The same trio shared the same stage just about a year ago in what ultimately became one of the chamber’s last large public gatherings before the spreading pandemic forced a lockdown that affected businesses all across the economic spectrum.
When it comes to braving the winter chill, hardy New Englanders are up for the challenge. However, while outdoor dining at Seacoast restaurants had diners happily enjoying delicious drinks and dishes long into fall, there was a point at which it just became a bit too frosty for servers and diners alike.
The majority of Seacoast restaurants remain open this winter as the coronavirus pandemic drags on, whether it’s for indoor dining or takeout only. In early December, though, came a series of announcements from some restaurants they were closing until spring, “hibernating” until outdoor dining can open once again.
