Dinner in the Garden Series
Om
OM’s new chef Youssef Boujana will match a three-course dinner tasting menu with four mojitos (created with herbs from OM’s garden). Among the pairings are Korean beef skewers with the classic mojito, prosciutto wrapped halibut or the Asian vegetable lasagna with a lychee mojito, and crème brûlée with a strawberry and coconut mojito.

Running of the Bulls Party
Toro
Sorry you have to skip the trip to Pamplona this year. But you can still run with the hipsters for Toro’s version of the Fiesta of San Fermin. Scenes from the spectacle will be projected on the walls, while tapas, cava, and sangria will be attacked by all. Guests that wear a red sash will get a glass of sangria on the house. Just don’t all charge the bar at once.

Mon.-Fri., 6-8 p.m., from July 10-Aug. 28
