SOLVING THE MYSTERY OF 111 MURRAY

ITALIAN RESTAURANT WEEK STARTS TOMORROW AT MAX
Max is extremely proud to have been awarded the Quality Approved seal by Italy-America Chamber of Commerce, which meticulously screens Italian restaurants to make sure they use authentic Italian products: real Parmagiano Reggiano, prosciutto, pasta, extra virgin olive oil, peeled tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala, and so on. And during the IACC’s Italian Restaurant Week (tomorrow through June 9), select restaurants—including Max—will serve a choice of two courses for $28 or three courses for $42, with a wine pairing priced separately. Reserve now. Sponsored.
