Cincinnati EATS: Cumin

From my press release inbox (plus I truly believe in the mission of the FreestoreFoodBank).  If you haven’t done a Cincinnati EATS event, you should– I’ve attended several and had a great time at every one.

Please join Cincinnati E.A.T.S. for our Fall 2009 event Thursday, Nov. 19, at Cumin in Hyde Park for cocktails, socializing, and great food – all for a great cause.

Similar format, different location: You pay a discounted flat fee (that includes tax and tip) in advance for your meal. There are no table reservations and everyone eats together at the same time. It’s a party with great food!

Drinks at 7 p.m. Come enjoy Cumin’s Lounge while listening to the musical trio “Souls of Orange.” Guests will be seated at approximately 8 p.m. for dinner. Cumin will offer a three-course menu with accompanying wine pairings.

To register, please visit www.cincinnatieats.com and purchase your ticket via Paypal. Tickets are $38.00. You will make your course selections at the time that you purchase your ticket. On the night of the event, just bring your receipt with you. Drinks will be handled individually at the event.

Cumin, which opened in September 2006, presents world fusion cuisine in a chic, contemporary, and cozy dining space. And the upscale bar area with one of the coolest illuminated walls in Cincinnati is the perfect spot to try one of Cumin’s signature cocktails or its extensive wine list. Cincinnati Magazine has named Cumin as one of Cincinnati’s top-25 restaurants every year since it opened and a top-10 restaurant in 2009. For more information, see http://www.cuminrestaurant.com

PLEASE NOTE: The evening will benefit the Freestore Foodbank. Unlike previous events, there will be no cash donation included in the ticket price. But please bring canned goods for a donation at the door. Thanksgiving is the following week and the Freestore Foodbank will have tremendous need this year.
