Everyone will cheer for pop tarts too flaky and sophisticated for the toaster, as this hands-on class creates exciting variations of both sweet and savory pastries. Join Louisa Wimmer in the kitchen to make strawberry pop tarts, blueberry-bacon pop tarts, chocolate chip cookie dough pop tarts, Moscow Mule pop tarts, plus caprese pop tarts and jalapeño popper pop tarts.

Grab your partner and join us for a unique experience of dancing and dining. The evening begins with a one-hour tango dance lesson with dance instructor Tal Stein, then waltz into the kitchen with a French 75 champagne-cognac cocktail. This hands-on class will create beet-goat cheese salad with champagne-shallot vinaigrette and gruyère gougères, boeuf bourguignon with potato gratin dauphinoise, plus almond pithiviers with fresh berries. Put on your dancing shoes! Please do not wear rubber-soled shoes. We recommend closed shoes with a flat leather sole or medium heel.
