KCPT’s Night On The Town in the Crossroads District
Our members and corporate partners joined KCPT for the April 10, 2012 Night on The Town. The festivities began at the Webster House with an introduction from Doug Frost and the Webster “House” made buttermilk & chive biscuit, white cheddar and jalapeno crostini, shrimp and grits “spoon” and ’09 Parducci “Small Lot Blend” Pinot Noir were served. Next stop was Snow & Co where “moonshine” was the topic and beverage of the night. Snow & Co served Scimeca’s meatball sliders on Farm to Market ciabatta with housemade vodka tomato cream sauce, portabella & sundried tomato pizza on lavosh and the drink was Purple Rain Frozen Cocktails.
The group marched down the street and around the corner to Nica’s 320 where Flamenco dancers and guitarists entertained the group. The menu at Nica’s was Sesame Encrusted Tilapia, Broccoli & Roasted Pepper Mac-n-cheese, Octopus Ceviche and featured beverages included Shanghai Lemonade and Velvet Rooster Tripel Belgian Ale. Our final stop was at the Croosroads Coffehouse. The evening ended with Raspberry Cream Cheese Turnovers and freshly brewed coffee.
