Last month, we opened up our exclusive R&D Dinner to everyone and we had such a great time getting to know you that we decided to do it again!

Next week at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 6, you’re in for a special treat because even though HUB Restaurant & Ice Creamery is still closed for renovations, we’ll get to taste dishes from their new menu on Playground’s rooftop.
