The Plaza and the BID listened to the rave reviews and the many requests from the public, and thus tonight will be the exciting second Bond Street Promenade, complete with dining under the stars at Bond Street's wonderful restaurants.

Elaine's Asian Bistro, Hinata, La Rotonda and Fredericks Café will all be serving your favorites in this much acclaimed al fresco dining experience. In addition diners (and dancers) will once again be treated to musical entertainment by Keith and the Bond Street Gemstones, a six-piece jazz band led by Keith Fishenfeld, and Savannah Sky, a regionally acclaimed country and western five-member band.

And a brand new treat, for this second Bond Street Promenade, artists will be drawing and exhibiting their pieces, stilt walkers will be roaming the street interacting with children and the BID will be offering discount coupons to use in the ensuing two weeks following the Promenade at participating Plaza merchants. The coupons will be distributed to those that come to the event.

Join your friends and neighbors tonight on Bond Street, 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., for another wonderful evening, thanks to the Village of Great Neck Plaza and the Business Improvement District!

See you there!
