2nd Annual Burns Dinner at Aperitivo


If you'll remember, last year at this time Aperitivo (279 Fifth Avenue) hosted a Burns Dinner, celebrating poet Robert Burns, Scottish culture and food. The dinner was so popular that it returns again later this month, with Premium Single Malt Scotches, Prime Rib and Haggis.
