The City Grit Fat Tuesday dinner
If you enjoy adventurous and out-of-the-box dining experiences, as well as talking about food (among other things), City Grit's culinary events are for you. At these dinners, held weekly, founder and chef Sarah Simmons creates a tasting menu around a theme or ingredient. Guest chefs are often brought in, too. On Fat Tuesday, Simmons will throw the ultimate feast. Considering her southern influences, it's sure to be creatively authentic.
The five-course meal will feature New Orleans classics like oyster po'boys, etouffé, gumbo and more. Oh, and there will be beads. Feb. 12 at 7:30 p.m., 38 Prince St., $65, beer and wine available for purchase. Tickets: citygritnyc.com.
