Night Of Art And Cuisine Planned At 1776 In Morristown

MORRISTOWN, NJ — David Burke's latest eatery, 1776, continues to revolutionize the dining experience with its next event "1776 SuiteArt" and "Enchanted Garden" one night two amazing experiences.

The immersive art experience will take place at 1776, which is located on the first floor of the 1776 on the Green office building, on Thursday, July 28 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

"1776 SuiteArt" is an art exhibition featuring works by international artist Jonas LeRiche, who is originally from Belgium and now lives in Morristown and New York City, as well as other notable artists. Patrons will be able to enjoy specialty cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres during the exhibit, which will be featured in the 1776 Topgolf Swing Suite.

Tickets cost $76 per person and can be purchased online.

The art-themed evening will weave throughout the restaurant and onto the patio, where artists will be creating art all night for a unique, in-the-moment art and dining experience.

Following the initial art show, there will be a second event, "Enchanted Garden," which will feature a themed special a la carte menu, and cocktails.

Chef Burke's special a la carte "Enchanted Garden" menu will feature peak summer fare from the Garden State, including Jersey tomatoes, local fluke, Sandy Hook clams and tangy seasonal scapes.

"A special 'Pick Your Potion' cash bar on the Patio sponsored by Hendrick’s Gin is where bartenders will be working their enchanted magic using special house-made mixers, boutique bitters and edible flowers to create unique cocktails according to guests’ preferences," 1776 said.

Kathleen Palmeri, the artist behind the prominent seven-foot Lady Liberty displayed in Liberty Lounge and the inspiration for PassthecrownNFT, will be painting live for all to see. Mustart, a visual artist known for his unconventional freestyle approach, will also create an "Enchanted Garden" themed painting to be displayed in the 1776 restaurant.

All attendees will also receive complimentary admission to the SuiteArt exhibit in the Topgolf Swing Suite.

"Enchanted Garden" and "SuiteArt" are taking place in conjunction with Meet Me in Morristown, a promotion of arts and culture as well as the downtown economy hosted by Morristown Partnership and Morris Arts.

Meet Me in Morristown is held on the last Thursday of each month during the summer.
