International Trip Around the Triangle
You are invited join the International Trip Around the Triangle Group. We explore local international restaurants as they transport us to different countries through delicious cuisines. Participants will visit and support local international restaurants, meet the owners, learn about the country and culture. Get to know others as we “break bread” together.
Held on the last Wednesday of each month from 6 - 8 p.m., this event invites food lovers to visit a different restaurant each month, offering a taste of authentic dishes from various global cultures. It’s a fun and flavorful way to explore international cuisines, meet new people and celebrate the rich cultural diversity of the Triangle region.
