We've Slashed Our Ad Prices!

If you, or anyone you know, would like to get your word out on The E List, we've cut our advertising prices.
(Please forward this email to someone you know that might be  interested in partnering with The E List).

If you've pivoted your business model to curbside delivery or takeout, launched an online shop, or are re-opening in a careful way, let our 25,000 Shoreline subscribers know. 
With so much confusion about what's open and what's not, it's vital that your customers know what you're up to. Our 25K subscribers WANT to keep their dollars local and are invested in our Shoreline community. And they depend on The E List to find out what's going on.  
Hope you're staying safe and healthy,
Erica

Weekapaug Inn’s New PondHouse is the Ultimate Waterfront Pop-Up Dining Experience This Summer
Ocean House Management Collection announces its newest imaginative culinary concept, The PondHouse at the award-winning, historic Weekapaug Inn. Located on the scenic shores, not far from the Connecticut border, The PondHouse offers an exclusive farm and pond-to-plate waterfront dining experience in collaboration with the world-renowned champagnes of Louis Roederer. 
The private open-air, covered wooden structure is reminiscent of a grounded treehouse, allowing for breezes and expansive views. Its design is stylish and intimate to accommodate up to four people. Reservations are available for lunch and dinner.
The PondHouse features an interactive, savory, locally sourced three-course menu, that guests personally grill themselves on a specially designed tabletop grill, and courses are thoughtfully paired with the iconic Louis Roederer champagnes. The experience begins with a naturalist-inspired introduction about the waterfront’s natural habitat.
