Upcoming Events- April 2014

Spring is officially here! The 50 degree weather in Cleveland today actually helps us feel like this statement is true. With warmer temperatures starting, sunshine peeking through the clouds, and promises of longer days, that means that event season picks up in our city. Everyone is ready to get out and about!

Here are some fun, tasty, and interesting events happening in April:

April- Table 45: The restaurant is offering a fun special just in time for April Fools’ Day. The mixologists are introducing a new novelty to guests called the “miracle berry” which plays a tongue trick; the berry actually changes the way flavors taste! After tasting the miracle berry, flavors that are normally sour will taste sweet. Cocktails include: Meyer Lemon Martini, Vanilla Citrus Martini, and Tangerine Martini. One berry per guest.

April 5th- Culinary Vegetable Institute: Earth to Table Dinner. Featuring Chef Ryan McCaskey from Acadia in Chicago. 8 courses. $85 per person plus tax and service fee (gratuity is not included).

Any great April events that I missed? Please share in the comments!

Disclosure: I was asked to promote each of these events. I will be receiving two tickets to the Earth to Table, Wine Dinner, and Chef's Fantasy Dinner. I would not promote these events if I did not want to share them with you. All opinions are 100% my own.
