Rock, Roll & Stroll: Tastemakers at Mizner Park
There’s really nothing nicer than a beautiful October night, wandering from nibble to nibble while drinking some good wines or beers. Your chance to get in on the action is Oct. 13 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Ticket booklets for the 3rd Annual Tastemakers at Mizner Park are $30 per person (VIP is $49), and include a tasting and beverage at each restaurant. That’s a good deal because here’s the lineup: Dubliner, Kapow, Max’s Grille, Racks, Ruth’s Chris, Tanzy, Truluck’s, Uncle Julio’s, Villagio and Yard House. The booklets to a fun night are available at each restaurant, and a portion from ticket sales benefits the American Cancer Society.
