It will be a four-course meal created by Peabody Executive Chef Andreas Kisler. Cost is $85 with an optional wine pairing for $35 meal. Cost includes valet parking and a take-home treat. 901-529-4188 for reservations.<\/p>\n<p>In the news: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/memphis\/news\/2014\/03\/20\/starbucks-will-add-alcohol-at-thousands-of-urban.html\">Starbucks will add alcohol<\/a> at its coffee shops that are in urban locations. The one across the street from the FedExForum seems like a perfect fit.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of news about development on Union today. Yesterday, the Memphis Daily News tweeted that the Greyhound bus station across from the ballpark has been sold. It will become a Hilton Garden Inn, set to open May 2016. The buyer, Turkey Creek Hospitality, owns an adjacent parking lot and plans to build a Holiday Inn Express there. More hotel rooms Downtown makes Memphis more appealing as a convention site, so this is good news.<\/p>\n<p>A few blocks down the street, DeSoto Collision Center will move into the space at 440-444 Union previously occupied by Madison Automotive. Details <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/memphis\/news\/2014\/03\/20\/desoto-collision-center-plans-downtown-memphis.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Max&#8217;s Sports Bar has tweeted that they are open early for NCAA tournament watching.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now.
