CL's annual Holiday Auction for The Children's Home has returned, and food- and drink-obsessed Loafers shouldn't miss out the first round's one-of-a-kind items. (Remember, new auction items appear every week until Dec. 20.)
Haven, Bern's Steak House's younger SoHo sibling, is auctioning off a cocktail party and wine dinner for six that features passed appetizers and a five-course, wine-paired meal in its private dining room. Master mixologist Dean Hurst will be present to discuss his creations, and sommelier Gregory Mayer will take guests through the wine pairings.
Accompanied by the owners of Casa Tina's, bidders have the opportunity to lead Dunedin's yearly Day of the Dead street parade, as well as judge the beloved restaurant's Dia de los Muertos Wearable Art Fashion Show. They'll also take home a $100 Casa Tina gift certificate to celebrate.
And from South Tampa's Dough, there's a create-your-own doughnut or ice cream offer, valued at priceless, up for grabs. The winning bidder will also be able to invite nine friends to partake in the concoction's special release reception.
