‘Big Apple’ Birthday Theme

Cork International Hotel’s New Yorker Bar and Restaurant marked a decade with a Big Apple-themed menu.

Chefs designed dishes with a Big Apple theme which they will serve on Friday, October 4th. Among the specials will be a revisited Waldorf Salad, which was created between 1893 and 1896 at the Waldorf Hotel in New York, and Rigatoni Pasta with Vodka inspired by New York’s  Carbone’s spicy rigatoni vodka. Diners will also be able to enjoy one of New York’s most famous cocktails - the Manhattan.

General Manager of the Cork International Hotel Eoghan Murphy said: 

“Over the last 10 years, the New Yorker has become a popular dining experience for locals, especially the Sunday lunch which attracts many regulars. We are delighted to be celebrating a decade of welcoming customers.”

Locally sourced produce and sustainability have always been a key consideration for the team at the Cork International Hotel. Earlier this year, a food charter was launched to help reduce food waste by 20%, and the chefs are continuing to build and develop the initiative.

Among the 10 commitments outlined in the charter is to monitor all waste and its source and use every element of a product where suitable. They are also designing no-waste dishes by creating specific meals which do not generate organic or non-organic by-product waste.

Head Chef of the Cork International Hotel Paul Ryan said:

“It is important that we continue to change with the times, and while we always opted for locally sourced produce, we have really stepped up our efforts to make the Cork International Hotel a greener hospitality partner.”
