The Newark Wine and Dine is a culinary and wine extravaganza featuring a dazzling array of tasty delights prepared by the chefs of downtown Newark’s very own restaurants complemented by fine wines from around the world.  Seventeen of downtown’s restaurants have selected wines to feature and created a menu to showcase their culinary abilities.  Restaurant-wine pairings will offer a $2 per 2 oz. taste of wine!  Premium tastings and flights may also be available at varying prices.  (You can buy beer at all of the restaurants, if you don’t want wine.)
