Inside the hotel, the Albert, led by Chef David Danielson, celebrates Italian-American heritage with a three-course marathon dinner for $39.95 per person, available Friday, October 9, through Sunday, October 11, from 4–10 p.m. Whether fueling up before the race or celebrating afterward, runners and their cheering sections can enjoy their choice of:
First course: Caesar Salad Classico or Tuna Crudo with orange, Castelvetrano olive, fennel and basil oil.
Second course: Rigatoni Bolognaise with beef and pork ragù, tomato and Parmigiano; Strozzapreti with Italian sausage, broccoli rabe, garlic and Pecorino; or Tagliatelle with lemon pesto, grilled shrimp and burrata.
Dessert: Spiced Pear Panna Cotta with red wine-poached pear and amaretti crumble, or Cannoli Semifreddo with pistachio, chocolate and cannoli crisp.
