The tour of a lifetime is here! The Murder Mystery Cocktail Tour merges a progressive dinner, craft cocktails, history & intrigue and brings an actual unsolved murder to life. There are no actors, no costumes and definitely no bologna! This tour takes you to some of the best kept vintage restaurants & culinary gems where we pair a decadent meal and mind-altering drinks with some of the darkest stories of old New Haven.
New Haven, 1880s: The scene of a murder. A fisherman finds a young woman’s clothed body floating lifeless in the constant ebb of the summer tide, a life taken too soon, but as evidence reveals, a life taken by force. Her plight from a frolicking dame enjoying the revelries of youth to the twisted thoughts of the person who cast her earthly twinkle into the great abyss, detectives begin a wide search for a vicious murderer . But the prime suspects hide behind lie after lie, witnesses go missing and a team of high profile lawyers and powerful businessmen push the case and the people around it to the edge. In a series of twists, this Victorian murder proves to be one of the longest and most infamous mysteries in New Haven history. But we may uncover the truth, if we put our minds together!
The culinary trial starts with a selection of Pan-Latin guacamole, chips & yuca frita along with a palette cleansing Aperol Spritz at Downtown mainstay Pacifico. Deliberations continue at the storied Old Heidelberg in the Graduate Hotel where we examine bruscetta, pita, veggies, hummus and Bavarian pretzels filtered with an Old Fashioned for the ages. Our next culinary crime scene takes us to the legendary barroom at Ordinary where we investigate a succulent grilled cheese, skillet seared cheeseburgers & a masterfully crafted cocktail. The final verdict shall be read out loud at the Anchor Spa with peach cobbler empanadas & a powerful rum punch, because a murder mystery always has a painful punchline!
