A favorite Out East, the Old Stove Pub launched a multi-course dinner series with Pop Up Nation on Tuesday nights with a different celebrity chef each week until Labor Day. Each Tuesday will be a singular experience, there is nothing Out East like it as Pop Up Nation (P.U.N) is the first of its kind experience. Each week different drink specials are provided by partners in this venture.
Pop Up Nation offers subscription options for those who want to be in the know. Each dinner event is curated by a celebrity chef so instead of traveling far and wide to enjoy chef creations, they come to you weekly. It’s a very special concept. This year they have had Jonathan Waxman, Joe Campanero, Leah Cohen, Franklin Becker, Alex Guarnaschelli and coming soon will be Michael Simon, Amanda Freitag, Josh Capon, Marcus Samuelson and more. Check in on their website. Subscriptions (popupnations.com)
Featured cocktails include Roku Gin, Canard Vinyard, Maker’s Mark, Tres Generaciones, Pellegrino and Acqua Panna
