A Tropical January! (Thursday 1/4)

Ciao Amici!

Hopefully now we are fully excited about the winter spirit, high off of the holidays, and ready to play in the snow....for the next 3 months! Well, maybe 5 months.

But! Maybe to welcome the winter right, we need a night of tropical fun. In January! So, dress in your Hawaiian best (or just wear a bathing suit), and come to Strega for an evening filled with umbrella drinks and tropical dishes.

Instead of just one region, we've decided to take a progressive journey through some of our favorite destinations and culinary memories. Think Punchy Ceviche, Hawaiian Squid Luao, Jerk Chicken, Coconut Rice, Passion Fruit Sauce, Ginger-Lime Umbrella Drinks, and more....

Derek Auston, an original Nonna at the Strega Kitchen comes from Caribbean roots. Bermuda, specifically. He has been sharing stories of his time there, and the best Jerk Chicken in the world. We can't wait to invite you all to be a part of it.

Aaron Nordman, everyone's favorite ball of energy, has been enthusiastically planning his outfit for this dinner for months and has some tangy tropical cocktails up his sleeve.

Rachael has spent a lot of time in the Caribbean, in Mexico, in Hawaii, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Central and South America, West Africa, ...in the tropics. While her heart space is usually occupied by bella Italia, once in a while she shares her tropical inspiration too. Don't miss the occasion!
