The 20th Anniversary Summer Cookout Series and International Wednesdays highlight the summer of 2009 at Zone 5

With one full summer (and plenty of good food) under our belts, Zone 5 is pleased to announce the return of our Summer Cookout Series and International Wednesdays. And we're kicking it off in style with a barbeque bash: the rumble on the rooftop, the thrilla south of Arbor Hilla (whatever you want to call it), as we celebrate the big 2-OH at 25 Monroe - Zone 5's 20th Anniversary Cookout Festival Party Gala. Festivities start at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, June 12th on Zone 5's rooftop deck. Contact your favorite Zone 5er for an invitation!

Zone 5 staff and guests convene on the rooftop deck roughly every other Friday at 3:00 p.m. for some well-deserved (and often needed) quality eats and R&R. Everyone in attendance enjoys some fine food and conversation after a long work week, while taking in the ambiance only summers in Albany can provide (OK, maybe Troy can provide it, as well. Maybe.)

Also returning to the menu is International Wednesdays, where numerous culinary artists in residence cook, bake, grill and fry delicacies from various ethnic cuisines including Indian, Cuban, German and Italian, to name just a few. This year's calendar will commence with Mexican on Wednesday, June 17th. (Again, contact your favorite Zone 5er for an invite.)

So, get out your stretch pants - it's gonna be a long summer. See you on the deck!
