A seasonal tasting menu that's not to be missed! East Meets West, one of Boston's most distinguished caterers, has put together an incredible menu with passed and stationary hors d'oeuvres and several special food stations throughout the venue. Preview the menu here.
A unique opportunity to browse handmade handbags from Kent Stetson; jewelry and accessories from Kendra Scott; gourmet chocolates, desserts, and gelato from Dulce D Leche; all-natural dog treats from Polkadog Bakery; and apparel, gifts, and goodies that help change lives from the NEADS Shop.
