Food and Drink, November 2017
Characters and Cocktails
A book club for adults. Join Columbus Public Library Staff to discuss books written by and about interesting, funny and fascinating folks. This week’s book is “White Trash,” Nancy Isenberg’s groundbreaking history of the class system in American. Drawing from colonial times to present, Isenberg takes on our comforting myths about equality and uncovers the crucial legacy of the ever-present and always embarrassing “poor white trash.” Participants are responsible for their own food and drink.
Nov. 3 & Dec. 1, 6 – 9 p.m., Sapo’s Mexican Cocina & Bar, 3033 Manchester Expressway, Columbus
On the Table in Uptown Columbus
What would you like to see in Uptown in the next year? What about three years or five years? What is our community missing? What can we do to put our big ideas into action? Join Uptown Columbus with Nonic Bar & Kitchen, and residents of Columbus and the surrounding area for a forum designed to elevate civic conversation, foster new relationships and inspire collaborative action across the region. Share a meal and discuss ways to improve our community. Dinner will be provided, but guests are encouraged to bring an appetizer to share for up to 12 people as well as beverages; non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages will also be available for purchase.

SUDS = StartUp DrinkS for Entrepreneurs
A social club with a StartUp problem. This group of creative minds comes together to socialize and develop entrepreneurship networks. Just like a child, it takes a village to create startups. The group has fun, builds relationships and changes the world, one drink at a time. Also, water is a perfectly acceptable drink, and quite literally the most efficient one our body chemistry and biology was designed to process.
Nov. 14, 5:30 – 8 p.m., Nonic Bar & Kitchen, 1239 Broadway, Columbus
