Last Call for Emerald Inn; Sliders for Lunch at Slide

GREENWICH VILLAGE ? Slide, the sliders-only restaurant on Bleecker that opened last month, is now open for lunch. It's offered from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. [EaterWire]

UPPER WEST SIDE ? The Emerald Inn will be closing its doors on Tuesday after 70 years of business in its original location. But while the day will be sad, it's not devastating, since the Emerald has already secured a new home just a few blocks away and will reopen in its new location in the very near future. Here's hoping for another 70 years of success. [WestSideRag]

AUCTION WIRE ? That ElBulliFoundation fundraiser at Sotheby's New York last week raised a whole lot of money. $913,605, to be exact. Of note is the dinner for four with Ferran Adrià in Barcelona, which accounts for over $36K of that total. [Eater National]

UPPER EAST SIDE ? Also launching lunch this week is The Pitch & Fork in Yorkville. The restaurant has also added a $27 brunch special with an entrée and unlimited cocktails. [EaterWire]
