Downtown debuts ‘Appe-teaser’ event

Get a taste of what’s to come during downtown’s annual Restaurant Week with this new “Appe-teaser” event.

The Washington Pavilion’s Visual Arts Center will host the event from 6 to 8 p.m. March 31, giving attendees a preview of the featured dishes available April 2-10 during Restaurant Week.

The experience will include connecting with local farmers while visiting different restaurant stations to sample the featured teasers.

• Chef Lance’s on Phillips
• Crave Food & Drink
• DaDa Gastropub
• Minervas
• Ode to Food & Drinks 
• Parker’s Bistro
