'Dine Around Downtown Naperville' with the mayor
On Wednesday, Feb. 22, the Downtown Naperville Alliance will host "Dine Around Downtown Naperville," featuring Naperville's Mayor Steve Chirico and Naperville Community Television (NCTV17). Diners can enjoy a delicious adventure at some of downtown Naperville's finest restaurants, all while supporting a great cause.
Tickets are on sale now for "Dine Around Downtown Naperville with the Mayor," an event where attendees will enjoy an open bar and heavy appetizers at Elements at Water Street for the first hour before heading off to one of 10 participating downtown restaurants for a three-course meal with drinks.
However, a fun twist to this event has ticketholders in suspense on which restaurant they will be heading to until they arrive at check-in.
A balloon wall will be set up at Elements at Water Street and diners can throw a dart at the wall to pop a balloon to reveal their restaurant for the evening hidden inside the balloon.
Tickets for this charity dining experience are $150 per person (sold only in pairs) and do not include tip at check-in or at the restaurant.
All profits from ticket sales will go to Naperville Community Television, a charity personally selected by Mayor Chirico.
"I'm thrilled to take part in an event that will treat attendees to a great meal for a great organization," Chirico said. "This is an entertaining and unique way for participants to have the chance to revisit a favorite restaurant or maybe discover a new downtown dining destination for future nights out. Showcasing our world-class restaurants fits perfectly alongside NCTV17's work to highlight the local events, people and places that make Naperville a world-class city."
"NCTV17 is thrilled to be part of this inaugural event," said Elizabeth Spencer, executive director of Naperville Community Television. She continues, "As Naperville's hometown media outlet we think this event is fun, innovative and helps bring even more life to Downtown Naperville. Thank you to Mayor Chirico for choosing NCTV17 as the nonprofit to benefit from this new initiative."
Participating restaurants include: Allegory, Bev's, Catch 35, Hugo's Frog Bar & Fish House, GIA MIA, La Sorella di Francesca, Rosebud, SixtyFour - Wine Bar & Kitchen, Sullivans, and Vasili's Mediterranean.
In addition to alcoholic drink options, each restaurant will offer the following courses: soup/salad option; choice of beef, chicken, fish, or vegeterian main dish; or dessert options.
