Downtown Progressive Dinner
The Tucson Downtown Alliance will host the return of the Downtown Progressive Dinner on Tuesday, Oct. 24. Enjoy one night of cocktails, dinner and dessert at three different downtown restaurants. This month's dinner features a cocktail and appetizer at Central Bistro, an Italian dinner at Enoteca Pizzeria and Wine Bar, and a Spanish dessert with coffee or tea at Casa Vicente. Diners have a choice of food and drink items at each restaurant, and transportation will be provided between venues. The cost is $50 per person, which includes tax and gratuities. Participants will automatically be entered into a drawing to win two tickets to a theater or symphony performance. The evening begins at 6 p.m. and ends around 9:30 p.m. Reserve your space by calling 547-3342. Reservations must be made by noon on Monday, Oct. 23.
