MY NAME IS: Shira Blustein.

I'M KNOWN FOR BEING:

Founder/owner of The Acorn Restaurant in Vancouver—Canada’s preeminent vegetable-forward restaurant.

I'M LAUNCHING:

The Acorn Restaurant in New York for 5 Nights in February.

YOU CAN FIND IT AT:

7pm on Wednesday, February 3 - Sunday, February 7, 2016 at Exhibit C (88 Eldridge Street). Tickets at ExhibitC.co

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL IS:

The Acorn is coming to you! We’re hosting a five-night pop-up restaurant, bringing the best of the Pacific Northwest to NYC. Our chefs are preparing an innovative five-course plant-based tasting menu that highlights the best vegetables this season has to offer. No meat substitutes, just refined and imaginative plates that will bring your senses out of hibernation.

ONE THING YOU CAN'T MISS IS:

You’re already at the dinner; say “Yes!” to the optional wine pairing! Kurtis Kolt, one of Vancouver’s top sommeliers, will be pouring five distinct wines from British Columbia’s best wineries.

YOUR BODY WILL THANK YOU BECAUSE:

Treating yourself nourishes the soul. Connect with others, dine together, slow down, awaken your senses. This is plant-based cuisine at its best.
