Question

What is the East Side?

Answer

A Bavarian-style restaurant in New Britain, CT, owned by a Polish couple where Emilie's Scottish family used to celebrate Christmas in January. Conveniently, Emilie and Jeff wanted a venue halfway between MA and NJ, so where better than a place of happy memories and silly hats? https://www.eastsiderestaurant.com/

Question

Attire

Answer

Wear a silly hat to the East Side! The Restaurant has a fun tradition of bringing out fun and funny hats for guests, so we want to keep that tradition alive. The wackier the better! In terms of other attire, wear what brings you joy!
