FIRST EVER MWPTA PROGRESSIVE DINNER: SATURDAY, MARCH 24TH

Join us for an intimate evening as we tour and dine our way through some remarkable Mt. Washington homes.  Four select families have graciously opened their doors & will be serving a delightful four course dinner.
1st Home: Appetizer - Fondue & Swedish Meatballs, drinks
Step back in time in this Original 1965 Mt. Washington West home. Learn more about the Ray Watt Designed community development dubbed “the island in the sky”. The Thomas-Staley Residence is a place where you can return yourself to a time when the livin’ was easy and life was a party.

2nd Home: Pre-Dinner - Shrimp Bisque, Tomato Cheddar Basil & Carrot Dill accompanied by homemade Parmesan Thyme Discs, drinks
Come spend a relaxing moment sampling delicious soups at “Casa PC”, the Palmer-Carter House. This Mediterranean home has been featured on TV, commercials & film. Living in the Italian Countryside is how you’ll feel in this graceful home set in the hills of Mt. Washington.

3rd Home: Main Course - Cochinita Pibil & Rice from the Yucatan region of Mexico, drinks
The Feinberg Residence was designed & built by Mark, including all the cabinets, furniture & architectural woodworking. With its’ terraced gardens and 180 degree views from ocean to mountains, this uniquely warm & simple house expresses the career of a cabinetmaker and embraces the beauty of Mt. Washington from the top of the hill.


4th Home: Dessert - Sweets from LA Baking Co. & a special “PD” Coffee roast from Antigua Cultural Coffee
The Austria’s House is a remarkable blend of recycling and beauty. Come see how recycled windows, a found kitchen island and an acquired folding glass wall bringing the outdoors in, all come together with a dynamic view and family garden to make this house the light, bright, comfortable home it is today.
