As I sat outside on the patio of Mesón Sabika this past weekend enjoying some good food and a nice glass of wine while celebrating Father’s Day with my Dad who is currently visiting from England, the chill of winter seemed a distant memory.
But as any long-term Midwesterner can tell you, summer is a short-lived season in this part of America. It seems to arrive in a hurry and then a few months later, disappear as changing leaves and pumpkins take over the local landscape.
So while the warm breezes and the longer days are with us, like many Napervillians I try to dine outside whenever I can. A great way to check out some of our city’s restaurants, many with an outdoor patio, is to watch the “Dine Around Naperville” series.
A collaboration between the Naperville Development Partnership and Naperville Community Television, this series gives an inside look at some of Naperville’s most popular restaurants. From a front-door welcome to a stove-side visit, host Ray Kinney shows viewers why they’ll have a great experience in so many of our local restaurants. In recent months, Ray has dined at Zapatista, Catch 35, Fiamme, and Crosstown Pub & Grill. All have a unique ambience and all have outdoor dining!
This hyper-local marketing opportunity includes production of a two-minute web video, 30-second commercial, and TV air time within NCTV17′ s popular business talk show, Business Connection. The web video is also posted to DineNaperville.com, VisitNaperville.com and NCTV17.com so visit any of these websites to check out restaurants like Mesón Sabika, Quigley’s Irish Pub, La Sorella, City Gate Grille and more!
And if you know a restaurant that should be featured, have their owner contact Erika Iwanski at eiwanski@nctv17.com or (630) 355- 2124 to learn more about the “Dine Around Naperville” marketing package.
