River Feast

I am all a-board for this one.

I have a certain attraction to the idea of floating down the river while snacking on fine foods. I think it goes to the dream of a lazy summer evening, one in which I am continually served bourbon and branch cocktails by someone I refer to as “Sugar”. If there are chaise lounges and pretty dresses involved, so much the better.

The Taste of the St. Croix Cruise might just fit the bill. As a kick-off for the week-long Taste, on June 21 you can board the Grand Duchess and cruise the St. Croix while noshing on treats provided by the valley’s tastiest restaurants: Bayport Cookery, Lake Elmo Inn, Confluence, and San Pedro Cafe to name a few. Plus, 10% of ticket sales go to benefit the Perspectives Kids Cafe which is a phenomenal program that feeds hungry kids.

Reservations required, so pick your dress, get a date, practice your drawl (thahnks, shuggah) and get on the list soon…
