SATURDAY STROLLING

The Brewery Art Walk

It's that time of year again. More than 100 resident artists in this sprawling loft complex open up their (often brightly colored) doors so that you can peruse and/or purchase their work while silently judging their personal belongings.

Sunday

SUNDAY SUPPER

Savor the Season

Sure, you're attending this tasting to support a worthy cause. But since you're there, you may as well enjoy the wine—and the food from BIN 8945, Water Grill and Violet. You'll also want to say "bonjour" to lovely participant Madame Chocolat (pictured).
