Studio Ghibli Brunch Club

Studio Ghibli Brunch Club

There is something special about the food in Hayao Miyazaki's movies. Join us for a Studio Ghibli-Inspired 4 course brunch and mocktail pairing, while watching food-filled clips from classics like Spirited Away, Ponyo, and Kiki's Delivery Service. Please come in your favorite PJs or loungewear for the brunching.
