These experiences teach the young ones about new tastes, the importance of local products, and grass-roots marketing. And, for city kids, there’s a whole new world of lessons from the growers they meet.
In restaurant news, Zahtar by Fhima at Life Time Fitness is up and running in Eden Prairie and at the Grand Hotel in downtown Minneapolis. Both locations feature private-dining rooms and plenty of healthy eats on the menu.
Looking for your next party venue? Anna and Lazaros Christoforides of Gardens of Salonica New Greek Café (19 Fifth St. NE, Mpls., 612-378-0611) turn over their kitchen and restaurant to private dinner parties on Sundays and Mondays. gardensofsalonica.com
