Upcoming Events

From live music and vinyl nights to wine and craft cocktails, a visit to North Block is as much about enjoying the property as it is venturing outside of it. Our restaurant and courtyard host a variety of happenings throughout the year. 

Amy Donaldson North Block Hotel Exhibition

A Living Canvas
Art at North Block

The Restaurant at North Block becomes a living canvas with the launch of a new ongoing art and retail series in collaboration with SLATE Contemporary Gallery and Erica Tanov Atelier. The series continues with paintings by Amy Donaldson, whose sensory-driven work reflects our shared values of craft, care, and intention. The exhibition will be on view in the hotel lobby and dining room through September 27th.

A Class for the Senses

SAVE THE DATE
Beginning May 9th
Monthly at 1:30PM

Blend a perfume. Shuck an oyster. Leave with both. North Block’s monthly sensory experience pairs the craft of custom fragrance-making with a hands-on oyster tasting,  exploring how scent and flavor tell the same story differently. Three oyster varieties, one you built yourself, and a mini menu on standby if you want to keep the afternoon going. Starting May 9. Monthly at 1:30pm.
