Party at the museum
This afternoon I talked to James Canter, the chef at the MFA Cafe. He was helping me out with a chile pepper story I'm working on. In passing, he told me that tomorrow night (Friday), the MFA Cafe launches its first jazz night, sponsored by Peroni beer. Pay $20, and between 6 and 9 p.m. you can enjoy the scat stylings of Lounge Kitty, two complimentary Peroni beers and free hors d'oeuvres (white anchovy bruschetta with preserved lemon, etc.). Canter and staff are also offering dinner entrees tomorrow for those who want something a little more substantial: a Spanish-style shepherd's pie ($16), herbed chicken breast with braised artichokes ($16), a saffron seafood risotto ($17) and more.
Hopefully, this will be the first of many evenings at the MFA. (255 Beach Dr. NE, St. Petersburg, (727) 822-1032)
