March First Friday Stirs up a Culinary Tour 

Take part in a Culinary Tour of downtown Greenville during March’s first Friday on March 1. Eat and sip your way through the urban spirited district that is on the rise of a new generation of entrepreneurs. The tour will consist of several small groups guided by energetic foodies & connoisseurs of downtown highlighting amazing gourmet offerings one would not know existed in Darke County. 

Sponsored by Jim Buchy, the two and a half hour guided tour will start promptly at 6:00 pm leaving plenty of time at the end of the tour to take in other fine establishments in the historic business district. Businesses participating in the tour include:  Montage Café, Romer’s Catering, The Coffee Pot, D’Alessios, The A&B Coffee & Cake Co., Candy Bouquet, Brenda’s Beanery, Third Street Market, KitchenAId Experience, Ozro & Rays and Janet’s Broadway Bakery. 

The Culinary Tour is a ticketed event with only 100 tickets available. Tickets are $10 and available at The Coffee Pot and on-line at www.DowntownGreenville.org. Tickets go on sale February 11 until February 28 or until sold out. 

As with every ‘First Friday’, downtown is open late!  Downtown businesses staying open are: Artifacts, Ink., The A&B Coffee & Cake Co., The Bistro Off Broadway, The Bootery, Brenda’s Beanery, The Coffee Pot, Candy Bouquet, D’Alessios, Danny’s Place, Double M Diner, The Ivy League, KitchenAid Experience, Montage Café, Pamela’s Intimate Apparel,  Readmore’s Hallmark, Sadie Grace, Third Street Market, Wayne Cinema and Youniques. 

Each first Friday of the month from February to December, downtown businesses extend their hours to embrace the evening atmosphere much like a dense urban center–making downtown the place to be on ‘First Fridays’!  ‘First Fridays’ is presented by Main Street Greenville, a non-profit organization committed to stimulating and supporting revitalization efforts, historic preservation and economic growth in Historic Downtown Greenville.
