The Mystic Santa Fe Marries Food and Art

It’s a night like no other – a two-and-a-half hour immersive evening of Native American food, dance, and storytelling that takes place every Thursday, through the end of October at The Mystic Santa Fe. It’s the brainchild of husband and wife Mystic owners Rick Goldberg and Amanda Tucker who welcome guests to the hidden garden at their boutique hotel for Mystic Echoes: A Sacred Feast of Flavors & Dance

Nicole Appels, formerly of the Compound, serves up an incredible five course meal with recipes created by James Beard award-winning Sean Sherman, chef, educator, author and activist. In keeping with the evening, all of the dishes feature pre-colonial ingredients, starting with Bison Sliders and then finishing with a Smoked tobacco ice cream with a corn cookie and puffed rice.  

In between each course, there is also storytelling and dance that explores the rich traditions of Native Americans, all under starry Santa Fe skies.
