Dining in Dark at Nubar
Friday, January 27th at 7:00 p.m.
Bill Flumerfelt invites you join him for his “first time” ever Dining in the Dark at Nubar, 16 Garden St Cambridge, MA The concept of eating in complete pitch-black originated with Jorge Spielmann, a blind clergyman from Zurich. When guests ate at his home, some would wear blindfolds during their meal to show solidarity with their host and to better understand his world. What his guests, and others around the world have discovered, is that blindfolds heightened their taste of sense and smell, making their dining experience more enjoyable. Founded by David Goldstein, the creator of Boston Chocolate Tours, Mystery Café, and the award-winning TeamBonding, Dining in the Dark provides New England with its first taste of this new dining concept. Reservations are to be made through Nubar. The price per person is $65 and the capacity is 35 attendees.
