Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment Friday Buffet Features Live Music & Theme Nights



Dinner and a show takes on a musical note with two tribute nights at Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment’s Pink Restaurant. 

The tribute nights kick off on Friday, May 10 with Blues Brothers & Neil Diamond.  A night of great songs, awesome dance moves and high energy is what makes “HATS AND SHADES” the most exciting Blues Brothers tribute in the USA. And as a special bonus, Bob McArthur, well known as a Neil Diamond impersonator, will kick things off rockin’ crowd favorites that are sure to leave you singing and dancing all night.  

Then on Friday, July 19th impersonator, Jesse Posa takes the stage as Mr. Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra.  Jesse Posa is one of the leading Frank Sinatra impersonators in the country and has appeared at numerous corporate events and private affairs. He has performed as “Frank Sinatra” on stage at Radio City Music Hall, in the Off-Broadway production of “Sinatra & Friends” and at BB King’s in Times Square NYC in “Party with the Rat Pack”.

Each tribute night buffet is $39.95 excluding tax & gratuity.  The buffet begins at 5:30pm with the musical entertainment taking the stage at 8:30pm. 
“After the success of our Elvis Night in Pink Restaurant, we knew we had to add more dinner and show nights,” said Jason Settlemoir, COO & GM of Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment.  “We are always looking to give our fans some additional entertainment while here and these tribute bands are a perfect complement to our races.”

The always popular themed night buffets return to Pink Restaurant on May 3 and are $29.95, excluding tax & gratuity.  Every buffet features appetizers, soup, main courses, side dishes and dessert.  The themed buffet schedule is as follows:
