On Sunday, October 26th, the fire returns. 🔥🔥🔥 Colonia Verde
For our next #SundayAsado, we’re teaming up with @wearekarakterre for a third year in a row and the only way we know how...grill-side and glass in hand. 🍷
Chef @giulaco, fresh off his @michelinguide Young Chef 2025 award, is back on the fire with us, and the night’s all about smoky air, natural wine, and that Brooklyn chaos we all know and love.
This one is going to be a TIME, and tickets will sell out quickly.
