'Allure of Flowers After Hours' at Charlotte Mint

Tickets just went on sale for the Mint Museum's "Allure of Flowers After Hours," a five-course, food-and-art-themed dinner riffing on the Mint's "Allure of Flowers" exhibit and coordinated by Jill Marcus of Halcyon (at the Mint) and Something Classic. The Mint hopes to be able to serve it on the outdoor terrace -- that would be a first for the place. Also worth noting: Marcus is bringing in Maggie Ruppert to create the cocktails. Last year's food-and-art dinner sold out. Tickets ($120; $105 for Mint members) and info: here.
