Anniversary
Celebration
In January 2000, we started our Annual Anniversary Parties.
We started serving food on January 3, 1985, so for our 15th
anniversary, we decorated the place with our old menus and
brought back some of our early menu items and the party began....
Mardi
Gras
In 1986, we celebrated our first Mardi Gras. It was a huge
success and over the years it has grown to 26 days. It is
the Grand-Daddy of all our festivals and is recognized as
one of the premiere restaurant promotions in the Hudson Valley
running through Fat Tuesday.
Crawfish
Festival
The Crawfish Festival began as our third yearly celebration
in 1994. Celebrated late April through early May, this Fest
features live crawfish flown in from Louisiana and served
in a variety of ways.
Savannah
Summer
Since 1998, from the middle of June to the end of August is
our Savannah Summer at Spanky's.
We feature dinner specials that reflect the cuisine of the
Savannah and Charleston area, such as low-country cooking.
It's a great celebration, surely one not to be missed.
Catfish
Festival
In 1988, Spanky's was designated as one of 10 restaurants
in New York State to represent the Catfish Institute of Biloxi,
Mississippi. So in August of that year, we celebrated Catfish
month. Then, in 1995, we moved Catfish month to September
and it became another distinctive festival.
Oyster
Festival
In November 1991, we decided to create a second yearly festival
and were quickly led to the oyster. We bring in different
varieties of oysters and serve then in a variety of ways.
Creole Christmas
Christmas took on a southern flair in 1996. The Christmas
decor reflects a more southern holiday style, and the dinner
specials were more reflective of the traditional southern
holiday cuisine. So if you want to do a holiday party in the
gentle atmosphere of the old South, be sure to book early.
