Harbor Magic’s BEST OF BALTIMORE FOOD & WINE DINNER was a great success!

Harbor Magic’s Culinary Events Series launched in style amidst a ton of media buzz!

The Baltimore Sun’s TASTE section featured Chef Bryan Sullivan and the new series on its front page (click here to read the story!) and WBAL-TV 11 broadcast live from the lobby of the Pier 5 Hotel the Monday before the dinner (click here to view the segments).

With all the media attention focused on Harbor Magic’s BEST OF BALTIMORE FOOD & WINE DINNER it was no surprise that the event turned out to be a HUGE success. Dinner guests began the evening in Baltimore’s premier boutique hotel – The Pier 5 Hotel’s three-story atrium lobby, which is beautifully decorated with gem-toned walls, vibrant colors and plush velvet couches.

After an hour cocktail reception guests enjoyed stunning panoramic views of the Inner Harbor from The Pier 5 Hotel’s Harbor Club during the sit-down portion of
