After School Appreciation is now in full swing. These specials cover all age groups, but the primary goal is to focus on mid-afternoon reading/studying in our dining area by offering up a complimentary cup of fruit or a cookie to anyone that brings a book with them. Grab a study buddy or a book club friend, and take the mid-afternoon to relax a bit.

Soups also take a price drop after 2:30 (until they are sold out), so be sure to grab those on your way home as a great side to any dinner (even those of you who like to cook your own meals).

Our Sweets Case has been well-stocked, so "buy-one-get-one" afternoons make these treats make a great compliment to any party, as well as a "Light-dessert."

2 smoothies of the same flavor will help you cool off from this heat wave, and maybe force you to try one that you can find a friend to agree with... "What's your favorite Market Street Smoothie?" If two people can't decide, we will flip the coin for you.

Last but certainly not least, it's hard to find any restaurant that offers $2 beverages, and can serve them in a true glass the way that we now do. This switch to glassware has drawn many compliments, and it just looks a lot more professional that most restaurants are able to present alcohol-free drinks. We also changed our sandwich/wrap presentation by moving those onto solid white plates (from Harold's) instead using trays with wax paper. This combination of glassware and solid (historical) plates might sound small, but the presentation is much bolder than we expected. Our customers genuinely appreciate these upgrades.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

This afternoon (Friday 9/4) we will be closing at 4:00 PM, and reopening tomorrow (Saturday 9/5) at 9:00AM-3:00PM. We are accepting up to 24 breakfast reservations between 9:00-10:30AM via our website https://marketstreetcafeportsmouth.com/
Reservations aren't required tomorrow morning but highly suggested if you want to bring a crew in and get out quickly before the parade starts.

We will be closed Monday 9/7, and reopening for normal hours on Tuesday 9/8. Next week will be one of our biggest weeks yet with some new "After School Appreciation" specials, and "Feed The Team" menus that are formatted for coaches to provide a simpler/streamlined ordering setup for large group orders.

We wish everyone a safe Labor Day weekend, and look forward to seeing you.

We will be open this evening (Friday 8/21) until 7:00 PM for those looking to grab a bite to eat and watch the cruise. This is also our first weekend experimenting with our "Table Reservation" platform on our website https://marketstreetcafeportsmouth.com/ Reservations aren't required this weekend, but "you'd be a lot cooler if you did."

You can select a time this evening up until 7:00PM, and we will also have some breakfast reservations available (not required) for Saturday from 9:00AM-10:30AM, and lunch reservations Saturday 11:00AM-2:00PM. We will be open our normal hours Saturday 9:00-3:00PM, but please note that there won't be any parking on Market Street Saturday. You can use our back lot on 3rd St, or the First Presbyterian Church lot on 3rd St.

Small Business Owner Journaling: We don't know exactly what to expect this weekend, but we are here to participate with the best we can offer given the limited parking, and payroll constraints coming off of our biggest couple weeks of summer. As much as we would love to stay open really late Friday, and hope that the Saturday event packs the place (like Octoberfest) we forecast a slight decline in total volume, which presents this cool opportunity to try out this Reservation concept. We are still allocating 40% of our seating as "not-reservable" so that people can come in as normal. There's also a chance that nobody will try out the reservation system, and maybe everything will run as normal. Thank you for being here and supporting us. We are excited for this weekend as a learning opportunity.

Tuesday Jazz has outgrown the building, and the lawn chairs are a big hit on Market Square. Join us this coming Tuesday 8/18 for Nathan Cooper's final jazz night of the summer before he heads back to study music at OSU. We will carry on the Tuesday series once per month for our fall "Tailgate Tuesdays" beginning 9/15.

Nathan Cooper came to Market Street in May starting out as a server. He quickly learned it, and asked if he could start playing some saxophone in the evenings to potentially start up a "Jazz Night." Every 2 weeks the crowd grew, and it eventually hit a point where we had to "Take it to the streets" with lawn chairs so that everyone could get comfortable. Although the evenings were hot, the smooth musicians did their best to cool off the block.

Nathan encouraged another server to sing, who was nervous at first, and quickly became a crowd favorite. Amya Warnock had too much voice inside the building, and once she got outside, the magic really captured the whole neighborhood. Nathan and Amya worked so well together and surrounded themselves with a good team of musicians that the crowd enjoyed.

There is a solid symbolic relationship of jazz and our culinary goals on Tuesdays in Boneyfiddle where we get to create Gumbo with local produce from the farmer's market. The Gumbo turned out amazing on 8/4, and it will be a double batch for 8/18. We look forward to seeing everyone that is able to attend.

Also stay tuned for details about Friday 8/21. We will open up that evening for Reservation seating on our new website, and it will feature our regular menu.

Thank you so much Steve Hayes for helping capture the magic of these moments! We have decided to put out a call for framed photos of Market Street Cafe, customers (with us and passed-away), the Boneyfiddle area, and all things relating to this little slice of heaven we all share today. We want to load-up our walls this fall with these framed photos that anyone can submit, and also you can have them back January 1st or earlier. More details to follow on this art project.
