On this food + drink experience, discover the best dishes in the East Village with a complete, 4-course progressive meal and optional beverage pairings.

Our 4-course progressive meal visits 4 restaurants – two appetizers, one entree, and one dessert, with a sprinkling of culinary history and stories in between.
