Check Out the North City Jazz Walk and Jazz Bites, Tuesday Night

Listen to great music; grab something good to eat.

The North City Jazz Walk is just around the corner.  Tuesday, August 14th the music starts at 7 p.m. for an evening of live jazz in ten venues. 

When you arrive grab a map, a line up, and a guide to something new,   Jazz Bites – food and beverages along the way.  This year’s participants offer an array of delectable small plates, finger foods, and desserts, plus a wide selection of beer, wine, and soft drinks.

Come at 6 p.m. when the street closes to have supper before the music begins. Your choices include a spaghetti dinner at the North City Lounge, cheesy parmesan bites at Dominos, brats and burgers at Brown’s Coffee Shop, an array of small plates at the North City Bistro, a warm pretzel at the  Eagles Club, more small plates at Laughing Ladies Café, or a Mike’s Dogz. The Rain City Rotary staffs its annual Beer and Wine Garden with the Shoreline Breakfast Rotary offering complimentary snacks nearby. Enjoy cold drinks and treats at the North City Theatre and do not miss the fabulous brownies with strawberries and whipped cream at the St. Mark Social Hall.
