Sunday Salons
ust about every Sunday beginning in April, our Sunday Salons at the River House Inn on the New River are patterned on the famous international "salons" of the past. While we were never invited to those heady Parisian parties of the twenties and thirties - to hobnob with Hemingway and Gertrude Stein (not to mention Alice B. Toklas!) - the idea of such literary and artistic gatherings sounded appealing. Drop by at 4:00 for food and wine, music and conversation, perhaps a poetry reading or a short play, a book-signing, an exhibit of art or pottery, or an occasional film. Dinner, usually a four-course set menu, follows about 6:00.
If you can’t make dinner, you’re welcome to come for the entertainment in the North Carolina mountains and a libation with hors d’oeuvres! But please call 336-982-2109 to reserve.
