Cleveland Stories Dinner Parties

With Cleveland Stories Dinner Party, a weekly series that pairs fine food with storytelling, the folks at the Music Box Supper Club hope to help raise awareness of the mission of the Western Reserve Historical Society’s new Cleveland History Center. The club’s owners consider the Cleveland History Center to be “one of the most interesting museums in Cleveland” and “an unknown gem that Clevelanders should know more about and support.” The goal of the Cleveland Stories Dinner Party is to “bring to life some of the fun, interesting stories about Cleveland’s past – from sports, to rock ‘n roll, to Millionaire’s Row,” as it’s put in a press release. Each week will feature a guest speaker and a custom Prix Fixe menu – a full three course meal for only $20. The weekly series will be free to attend. There will be no cover charge. Dinner will be served at 6 p.m., and the storytelling will start at 7 p.m. Tonight, storytellers Ryan Rezner and Greg Deegan talk about how Cleveland helped invent professional baseball. The featured three-course dinner for the evening includes meatball soup, All-American fried chicken and mac & cheese and a homerun sundae. (Niesel)
