Discover the diverse cultures and cuisines Boston-area restaurants have to offer at Cultural Café, hosted by Hostelling International USA.  On the first Tuesday of every month, enjoy a meal with members of the community, learn about a new culture and help support Cultural Kitchen, HI-USA’s premiere educational program for inner city youth.

Cafe Brazil in Allston is our one-night-vacation destination for April, on Tuesday April 6th.  Cafe Brazil has been serving classic "home-style" Brazilian food since 1986 (bad year for the Sox - good year for eating!).  The family-style meal will include many of the restaurant's specialties including rice and beans, fried plantains, special mixed grill, and vegetable dishes.

Please RSVP by March 31st for this affordable and fun event.  Please e-mail Karin at kturer@usahostels.org if you are a vegetarian or have other dietary questions or needs.  You may also sign up directly with Karin by calling her at 617-718-7990 ext 23.

***more about Cultural Kitchen and Cultural Café***

As an afterschool activity, Cultural Kitchen teaches Boston and Somerville youth about culture and diversity using cooking as the primary vehicle - just like travelers at our hostels learn about one another while cooking together in the hostel kitchen.

Cultural Café gives us a chance to experience something similar to what the students experience in our program.  The setting is informal as we gather to build community, share a delicious meal, learn a bit about Brazilian culture, and support a great cause.
