Meal Magazine is pleased to announce our first official event: Eastern Promises. This is an underground cocktail party in an undisclosed NE Mpls location, with one-of-a-kind drinks created and poured by Marco Zappia, Dustin Nguyen, and Adam Witherspoon, collectively known as Tres Leches -- you know them as the acclaimed alchemists behind the bars at Minneapolis restaurants Martina and Colita. Alongside the drinks will be meticulous hors doeuvres from chef Rick Didora of Houndstooth Mpls.

Inspired by the venue -- a 1902 building that was once a Ukrainian family-owned butcher shop and grocery store -- this party is inspired by the history and flavors of Russia, Poland, Bosnia, and Ukraine. Capacity is limited to 45 people.
