In a dueling Cider Week event, Buttermilk Channel will be offering a Cider dinner on 17 Oct. (see 61 Local for a cider tasting that same evening) with Andy Brennan of Aaron Burr Cidery. Though it’s the restaurant’s first cider maker’s dinner, we’re sure they have their ducks in a row.
An autumnal five course meal will be paired with these gorgeous hard apple drinks for $75 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Space is limited so call 718 852 8490 or email at doug@buttermilkchannelnyc.com to book now. Here’s a peek at the full menu:
