ONCE in Valhalla at The Center for Arts at the Armory
7 – 11 p.m.
Cuisine en Locale invites you to “feast like one of the honored dead in Odin’s great hall Valhalla!” This ten-course locavore feast will feature many vegetarian options, Pretty Things Beer and souvenir Viking hats. There are tiered-price tickets: peasant (Viking hat not included), a brute squad, and lady/lord. It’s like a locally sourced, vegetarian friendly Medieval Times that serves good beer is setting up shop in the Armory for a night, or maybe a Renaissance Fair without the larpers. Neat. Tickets range in price from $55 – $85 and can be purchased here.
