Cleveland Stories Dinner Parties

Cleveland Stories Dinner Party is a weekly series that pairs fine food with storytelling. The goal of the Party is to "bring to life some of the fun, interesting stories about Cleveland's past — from sports, to rock 'n' roll, to Millionaires' Row," as it's put in a press release. Admission is free, with no cover charge, although a prix fixe dinner, designed to complement the night's theme, is $20. Tonight, Greater Cleveland Film Commission president Ivan Schwarz will discuss the ins and outs of getting such big-budget flicks as The Avengers, Captain America and Draft Day to film in Cleveland. To eat, the menu includes The Hulk, Chicken Schwarma (get it?), and Superman Ice Cream. Doors open at 5 p.m., dinner is served at 6, and the storytelling starts at 7. (Jeff Niesel)
