Six New Fall Plates to Share at Vidrio on Glenwood South

Last week we got to have a sneak peek at the new FALL menu at Vidrio on Glenwood Avenue. Vidrio is a gorgeous restaurant and bar with several dining spaces upstairs that are perfect for special events. Their food is Mediterranean style shared plates, and features simple cooking methods like a wood fired grill and stone hearth and always fresh seasonal ingredients.
Vidrio is an open window into the Mediterranean. Sharing plates both large and small are made with the freshest ingredients allowing the flavor to shine. Handcrafted seasonal cocktails with exotic spirits are exciting and delightful. The vibrant, modern environment is visually mesmerizing and filled with warm, personal hospitality. These touches speak to the patience, creative vision and hard work of Lou Moshakos and his attention to detail to bring this ode to the Mediterranean to Raleigh. Gather at the table with us, where we encourage you to savor every sip, every bite, every moment together.
Doug Frates is one of the leaders in the glass-blowing art industry and is the creator of the awe-inspiring
and vibrant glass wall at Vidrio.
The focal point of the 13,500-square-foot space is a stunning dining room wall that features 350 glass bowls and orbs. The eye-catching creation covers the two-story wall in a kaleidoscope of colors, and “A moment for the time being” is painted underneath, inviting guests to forget their worries and savor the present. Vidrio means “glass” in Spanish, and they wanted something spectacular to reflect that theme. Doug Frates, the artist behind the glass masterpiece, used silica from Italy to craft the vibrant orbs, which are designed to inspire visions of Mediterranean sunrises or sunsets over crystal-blue waters. 
UPCOMING EVENT THIS WEEK
Vidrio is hosting a wine dinner featuring Bedrock Wine Co. on Thursday, November 8th, at 6:30pm at hosted by Vidrio and Taylor’s Wine Shop. Bedrock is the brainchild of Morgan Tawin-Peterson (his father is Joel Peterson, founder of Ravenswood) and works with some of the best old vine vineyards in California. Meet Morgan’s business partner Chris Cottrell and try their wines paired with fresh and seasonal chef-inspired dishes at Vidrio. Tickets are $100 per person, all inclusive.

INSTAGRAM: RDU BATON Day!

CARRYING THE RDU BATON

Yesterday, I got a turn at carrying the RDU Baton on Instagram! If you haven't heard of them or don't follow them already, RDU Baton is a collaborative photo project to show off the Triangle through the eyes of local residents every weekday. You don't have to be a professional photographer, just have a passion for where you live.

Anyone can sign up (there's a bit of a wait list so it will take a while to get your turn) but it's fun to share a bit of insight to life in every corner of the Triangle...Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and surrounding areas.

Below are the places I featured on my turn yesterday! If you want to sign up go to http://www.rdubaton.com/join and they will contact you when it's your turn!


RALEIGH

>

Good Morning! My name is Chana and I’m excited to hold the baton on this beautiful Tuesday morning! I love Instagram and all things local. I started my own account @raleighwhatsup to help inspire + bring more awareness to fabulous local businesses in Raleigh + the Triangle area. I am from VA, moved to Sydney Australia before landing in Raleigh 17 years ago. Raleigh has grown a lot over this last decade and I’m excited to showcase a small part of all the cool things happening here. ******** First stop! @solacoffee , one of my very favorite places to hang here in North Raleigh. Jeanne + John, the owners have done amazing things with Sola and the community ~ speaking of which today 50% of their revenue will go to Red Cross to help the cities affected by Hurricane Florence. I am grabbing my coffee to go! Let’s get this day started! #ibelieveinraleigh #solalove #rwufav #raleighnc #solacoffee 📸: @raleighwhatsup
