Diner en Blanc

from: http://paris.dinerenblanc.info/media

Ok, this is kinda cool.

Ever see photos/video of a Diner en Blanc dinner party? It started in France more than 25 years ago and involves people dressed in white dining at white-decorated tables. It's a high-class picnic idea that's spread around the world, and now we're having one in Baltimore.

The Lord Baltimore Hotel's restaurant, The French Kitchen, will host this special "Picnic le Blanc" at Center Plaza (222 N Charles St) on Saturday August 22nd from 7-11pm. There will be a cash bar and DJ, and maybe even food. I say "maybe," because it's up to the diner. For $50 a couple, guests can bring their own food* (it doesn't have to be white). For $100 per couple, guests receive a picnic basket with a roast chicken, couscous salad, fruit and cheese, baguette, and petit fours). All tickets include white-covered tables and chairs...but the guests are expected to bring their own white tabletop decor.

The best-dressed couple and the couple with the best table decor will receive $100 gift cards to The French Kitchen.

If you want to attend, tickets will be available starting August 3 via eventbrite.com. For info, call 410-659-5257.

*No outside alcohol will be allowed into the event.
