CONVO
CONVO returns with an elevated 12 course dining experience, 2 rooftops w/Jazz and Salsa and CONVO w/ Grammy winner Juan de Marcos Gonzalez
On Saturday, May 13, 2023, the next installment of CONVO features a culinary adventure utilizing ingredients and recipes which reflect global influences of the African Diaspora combined with Latin Caribbean flavor profiles. These African influences will be highlighted in the dishes and cocktails from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Both our chef and sommelier will share the backstory for each of the 12 courses and drinks that they will curate. The 12 course tasting menu will include one main dish.
Our evening’s conversation will be led by Tomas Algarin former host of Latin Aura (WCLK) and Grammy Award winner Juan De Marcos Gonzalez (founder, musical director, A&R and co-producer of the Buena Vista Social Club session albums, and creator of the Afro-Cuban All Stars).
