Tasting the Town (August 24, 2016) A new series of food adventures has popped up in B-more. Three local Instagram food bloggers – Jordan Zelesnick, Andrea Samlin and Rachel Lipton – created “Tapas in the City” where they set up “pop-up” dining experiences at various restaurants around town – like this particular night at Cava Mezze. Guests first socialize, then sit – to enjoy a meal made up of samplings from the menu.
