Bon Appétit in January

This January, Dream Midtown and Dream Downtown‘s food and beverage scene has a lot to offer. Keep up with us on our blog and social media for updates on launch parties, new menu items, limited-time offers, and weekly parties and events. Cheers!

Last week, we kicked off an exciting new night coming to Dream Midtown every Tuesday evening. With all of the buzz around PHD Terrace’s Midwinter Night’s Dream installation (featured in Town & Country, USA Today, Forbes, BRIDES, and NBC New York to name a few…), we couldn’t help but create a winter-themed version of our favorite after-work party. Enter Cortina Edition, our latest happy hour inspired by life on the slopes and après ski.

Fan favorites introduced during our Midwinter Night’s Dream launch are making a return, like the S’mores Tini, Love Potion No. 9, and our warm, boozy gingerbread cookie skillet with rum-infused vanilla ice cream, as well as some new surprises. Come judge our latest treats for yourself, and don’t miss the chance to try your hand at our shot ski. Cortina Edition will take place every Tuesday starting at 5 p.m. To reserve your spot each week, email aperitivo@taogroup.com.

In addition to new specials at Dream Midtown, tonight marks our first-ever Taste of Bodega Negra at Dream Downtown, an exclusive culinary experience paired with a Don Julio tasting. The six-course tasting menu will exhibit food that highlights the flavors of Jalisco, Mexico. Seated in our private dining room in Bodega Negra, the intimate night will feature dishes from our chefs that have not yet been introduced to the public. Didn’t get your tickets this time around? Don’t worry, we have plenty more tricks up our sleeve for next month…
