The next Peabody rooftop party is tomorrow night, May 5 – hey, that’s Cinco de Mayo! The Peabody is celebrating with a Cinco de Mayo-themed party. The buffet (included in the price of admission) will feature a nacho bar with seasoned ground beef, shredded cheese, guacamole, diced tomatoes, sour cream, salsa fresca and jalapenos. There will also be chicken empanadas, Mexican rice and refried beans on the buffet.
For those with VIP passes, there will be an additional buffet with tamales topped with chili and cheese, and a make-your-own fish taco bar.
It will be a Crown Imports fiesta featuring Corona, Corona Light, Modelo Especial, Negra Modelo, and Pacifico. Entertainment will be Kevin & Bethany Paige, along with house DJ Mark Anderson, and party hosts Maney, Drex and Riley from Q107.5/96.1. $10 cover includes first drink, ladies free before 7.
Due to weather and friends in town, I missed the first three rooftop parties, but this week I intend to be there. I’ll drink some Mexican beer and see if I can make a fish taco as good as the ones I used to eat in San Diego. I plan on being there fairly early, because by 8 or so, the Nuh-Uh Girl will leave the buffet in the same state of devastation that the tornadoes did to Tuscaloosa.
What other Cinco de Mayo parties are going on Downtown? Let me know (paul@paulryburn.com) and I’ll try to do a follow-up post tomorrow.
