Twelve Recipes Cookbook Event @FiNNBAR
One Saturday night many years ago at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, where Finnbar's Cal Peternell was the chef, a call came in for him just as guests were arriving and orders coming in. He wouldn't have taken it - really not the time for phone calls - but it was from his kid, Hop and it was urgent: Bolognese sauce and the fate of dinner were involved. To find out what happened next, join us at Finnbar on Thursday, April 24th for a happy hour-ish of that and other stories, with recipes and delicious bites from Twelve Recipes, Cal's New York Times bestselling cookbook. Books, beer, wine, cocktails, and soft drinks will be available for purchase. $25 7 Bridge St. FRENCHTOWN INN & BAR New Jersey

An Evening with Fran Lebowitz, McCarter Theatre
Fran Lebowitz brings her signature wit and razor-sharp commentary to McCarter Theatre. In a cultural landscape filled with pundits and talking heads, she remains one of the most insightful social critics of our time. With her acerbic take on current events, the media, and everyday absurdities, she spares no one—including tourists, baggage-claim areas, aftershave lotion, adults who roller skate, children who speak French, and anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review hails Lebowitz as an “important humorist in the classic tradition,” while Martin Scorsese captured her sharp-tongued brilliance in the HBO documentary Public Speaking.
