\"Preview<\/a>

Preview food from soon-to-be-opened Assembly at a Feb. 6 Santa Cruz event<\/p><\/div>\n

There is a fabulous collaborative event in the Santa Cruz community next week; tickets are selling fast for this \u201cSpinning Plates\u201d evening of film, food, and wine.<\/p>\n

As you may recall from my article earlier this month<\/a>, the team behind Santa Cruz\u2019s The Penny Ice Creamery and The Picnic Basket\u2014Zach Davis and Kendra Baker\u2014are about to open their first full-service restaurant, Assembly, with Executive Chef Carlo Espinas. On Thursday, Feb. 6 you can preview Assembly\u2019s food and watch an award-winning restaurant-related documentary film, \u201cSpinning Plates.\u201d The event will also include samples from The Penny Ice Creamery and The Picnic Basket, and Vinocruz is pouring wine that evening.<\/p>\n

When you purchase a ticket online (see information at The Nick\/Del Mar web site<\/a>), you can choose to buy a ticket that includes the film, food and wine ($24) or just the film and food ($18). You also select which time you\u2019d like to enter for the refreshments: 6:30, 6:50, or 7:10 p.m. The movie will be screened at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n

Ike Jablon, Director of Marketing & Special Events for Nickelodeon Theatres (this encompasses The Nick, Del Mar & Aptos Cinema), is excited about the event and the community\u2019s response to it (as of press time, the 6:30 & 6:50 admission times had already sold out and the last time is quickly approaching sell-out status). \u201cI\u2019m looking to have our three theatres collaborate as much as possible with other locally owned businesses in the area. When we found out about the film \u2018Spinning Plates,\u2019 it seemed like a perfect fit for us to work with Kendra and Zach.\u201d Jablon adds that since the film is about the creativity and perseverance it takes to own and run a restaurant, it aligns perfectly with the team that has worked so hard and opened two Penny Ice Creameries, the Penny Kiosk Downtown, The Picnic Basket and soon Assembly.<\/p>\n

Davis shares Jablon\u2019s excitement. \u201cWe’re huge fans of The Nick\/Del Mar and thrilled to be putting this event together with them,” he says. \u201cIt’s really special to be bringing The Penny, Picnic Basket and Assembly together under one roof. The Assembly portion of the food will be indicative not only of Carlo’s menu and style, but also of his excitement about getting involved in the community outside of Assembly’s four walls.\u201d<\/p>\n

An update on Assembly<\/em>: As of January 30, 2014, the opening date of this highly anticipated restaurant (it\u2019s going to be the largest in Santa Cruz, seating 100 diners!) is set for February 25th.<\/p>\n
