I am a big fan of the Canal Club’s happy hour and just recently noticed a new market across the street called Robins Nest.

I found out Shari Robins who was a former chef of James Beach and Canal Club opened the market as the first in a chain of stores that will open across the city. Robins Nest is full of all kinds of international goodies and pre-packaged items – perfect for those last minute beach picnics .

If you are in the Venice area May 27th check out a tasting by Chef Shari and Bill Wofford from 12-2 at the market.

Be sure to sign up for updates on other Robins Nest events and check out the store if you are in the area.
