Benefit at Two Steps Celebrates FIRST NIGHT Danbury's 25th Anniversary!

BENEFIT AT TWO STEP DOWNTOWN GRILLE CELEBRATES FIRST NIGHT DANBURY'S 25TH ANNIVERSARY

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13TH

This year, First Night Danbury  will celebrate its 25th anniversary in spaces throughout CityCenter Danbury on New Year's Eve, Wednesday, December 31st, 2014.  The event theme this year is fittingly chosen: "Make New Friends, Keep the Old." The Auld Lang Syne maxim continues with, "These are Silver, Those are Gold." Appropriately, we are inviting the participation of past First Night performers as we reminisce and herald a new 25 years. Tom Devine's popular Two Steps Down Grille (5 Ives Street) will celebrate the milestone by hosting an evening of delectable dinner and raucous laughter that's sure to make your sides split (dreadful pun).  The fun kicks off on Thursday, November 13th at 7:00pm. 

With his uncanny magical, juggling skills Boston’s Robert Clarke, who first appeared at First Night in 2004 and has been invited back to host this year’s vaudeville at the Palace Danbury. He'll also share his talents at the benefit evening, providing a roller coaster ride of cheers, smiles, and 100% entertainment.  Since 1991, "LuckyBob” has amazed international audiences from Harvard Square to Singapore, and forty-plus US states. 

A four-course dinner is sure to also elicit its share of applause:

  • 1st Course:   Risotto Fritters in a fresh basil tomato sauce drizzled with a basil aioli
  • 2nd Course:  Mixed Field Greens with dried cranberries, apples, bacon, red onion and crumbled feta in a white balsamic vinaigrette
  • 3rd Course -  Braised Short Rib sauced with an adobe pinot noir demi-glace, or Lobster Crusted Cod sauced with a delicate lobster bisque; both served with fresh roasted asparagus and whipped potatoes

4th Course - Flourless Chocolate Torte with a cappuccino caramel and mocha whipped cream

The cost is $58 per person, including drinks. Funds received, tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law, will support First Night Danbury. First Night Danbury is sponsored by Family & Children's Aid, All About Kids Pediatric Dentistry, and the Danbury Cultural Commission, with additional support provided by Union Savings Bank, Ventura, Ribeiro & Smith, Danbury Parking Authority, and the City of Danbury, as well as generous local businesses and individuals.
