Three enticing menus allow you to (re) connect over food
Karen Gin, chef de cuisine for MARKET by Jean-Georges and her brigade have channeled their culinary passion to create a ‘Date Night’ series. Three distinct prix fixe menus, each menu available Sunday through Tuesday, give couples the option of lingering over dinner, heading off to a movie or taking the elevator to their room.
The First Date menu available beginning October 30th and priced at $99+ for two, including wine, is designed to have you laugh and linger over food. The following Sunday, the team introduces the Seriously Second menu at $124, which includes two tickets to a movie of your choice at a near-by theatre. Finally, the Tempting Third debuts November 13th for $349, and includes accommodation at Shangr-La Hotel, Vancouver.
“Food connects people like nothing else I know,” said Gin. “This really is about getting couples away from some of that daily responsibility and enjoying one another’s company. We designed this as a progressive dating and menu opportunity, giving couples three weeks of ideas. But if any couple wants to start with option three, we will certainly make that happen.”
