takes to the streets. At the Old School at 32 Prince St., guests will
pick up a lightweight portable camping table, table settings, camping
cutlery, and a 3-course tiffin dinner prepared by Vandaag Chef Phillip
Kirschen-Clark. And then they'll set off to build their portable
restaurant wherever they choose, whether out in the wild city or in the
building and courtyard adjacent to the pick-up location. Beverages are
included, including extraordinary cider by Farnum Hill Cider and a
wholly original elderberry drink from Enlightenment Wines. Tables for
2, 3, or 4 people are available for purchase, $80 per person. http://www.ourotherlocation.com/
