Catering Works

🌿🍽️ Dinner and a show? Make it unforgettable.

Before Lala Tamar & Friends take the stage, join us at the NCMA Café for a special pre-concert dinner inspired by the vibrant flavors of West Africa and the Middle East. Our wonderful head chef has created a menu full of bold spices, fresh ingredients, and signature favorites that set the tone for an extraordinary evening.

Then, let the music transport you as Lala Tamar & Friends weave together sacred songs rooted in Jewish tradition with the rich musical languages of West Africa and the Middle East.

✨ Come hungry. Leave inspired.

The wait is almost over. There's just one more week until our next After Hours event at the NCMA!

Join us for our now-monthly celebration on Thursday, August 13, from 5:30 pm-9 pm. We'll have music from Magic Al, gallery tours with artist Luke Buchanan, art activities designed by the Museum's interns, and more.

NCMA Café will be open for dinner reservations, and Catering Works is offering a special pie and beverage tasting featuring a variety of mini pies, tarts, and Ella's Popcorn!

After Hours entry is free, and you don't need to register to attend. If you'd like to make reservations for dinner or the beverage tasting, click here ➡️ https://bit.ly/4xblTiU

Some works of art belong on the gallery walls. Others belong on your palate. 🍷🥧

For one night only, step inside our Wine & Pie Pairing Experience at NCMA After Hours on August 13.

For $25, you'll gain access to an exclusive VIP tasting where each handcrafted pie and carefully selected wine has been thoughtfully paired to create a masterpiece of flavor. Rich textures, vibrant notes, and unexpected combinations come together in an experience that's as artfully curated as the museum itself.

Because at the NCMA, inspiration isn't just something you see—it's something you can taste.

🍪 Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! 🍪
There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh-baked cookies straight from the oven. ❤️

Catering Works Cookie Tip: Want bakery-quality cookies at home? Scoop your cookie dough into portions and freeze it before baking. When you’re ready for a treat, bake the dough straight from frozen—just add an extra minute or two to the baking time.

✨ Why freeze your cookie dough?

• Cookies spread less, creating thicker, chewier centers.
• Flavors have more time to develop for an even richer taste.
• Fresh, warm cookies are always just minutes away—perfect for unexpected guests or a last-minute dessert.
Whether we’re baking for hundreds or you’re baking for your family, a little planning goes a long way. Here’s to celebrating one of life’s sweetest traditions!

Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day from all of us at Catering Works! 🍪💛

Lights dimmed. Clues uncovered. Glasses raised. 🤠🔍✨
