Dinner With An Architect, April – August
Well, we aren’t all architects (which is good, if you prefer dinner conversation to cover a broader range of topics.) But we are all enthusiastic about sharing our love of architecture with you.
From April through August, we offer a list of dining experiences from which you can choose. We are happy to announce the 2010 line-up of dinners. Check your calendar. And give us a call, send in your form, or register online.
