Neighborhood Notes

There is a really creative new dinner series launching on March 5 at local favorite, The Daily Cafe. If you like food, wine and art, then you'll enjoy what I bill as a feast for the senses.

Daily Café and Caplan Art Designs will debut the “Cooks, Corks and Co-Conspirators” monthly dinner series on Wednesday, March 5 at 6 p.m. Held on the first Wednesday of every month, this event will feature a unique pairing of wine, food and art.

On March 5, meet artist Peter Miller, view his collection of urban landscape photography and enjoy a three-course wine dinner playing off Miller’s New York origins. The concept is old world/new world meets east coast/west coast. Music provided by High Tone Duo. The dinner is $60 per person, including wine. Gratuity not included.
