While you’re waiting for Super Bowl Sunday, here are some events to keep you occupied ’til then. It’s going to be a jam-packed weekend with Chinese New Year and football. But, lucky for you, you don’t have to choose. You can do it all.
FRIDAY
Scardello Artisan Cheese will be hosting a fondue night tonight at 8 p.m. Go with an empty stomach, and be ready to fill it with an amuse-bouche; salamis, bread, and fruit ready to be dipped into a three-mountain cheese fondue; and a green salad. Dessert (re: chocolate truffles) is included, of course.
The Holy Grail Pub’s 3rd annual Chili-Pa-Looza will take place today and tomorrow starting at 11 a.m. Get ready to indulge yourself in four types of chili. There’s smoked brisket, green chili chicken, white turkey hominy, and vegetarian three-bean chili.
SATURDAY
