Elmwood Village Tour of Kitchens

If you think Garden Walk is fun because it affords a glimpse into strangers’ backyards, go out for this tour of kitchens, where people will not only invite you into their homes, they’ll even share their recipes with you. Twenty of the most fabulous kitchens the stylish Elmwood Village neighborhood contains are on display, some designed by well-known architects or interior designers, and some built by the creative homeowners themselves. You’ll see a variety of styles, from French provincial and “Arts and Crafts” to thoroughly high-tech modernity. And some kitchens boast the environmentally friendly renewable materials we’d all aspire to use for flooring and cabinets, if only we could. But that’s why, at each home, gracious hosts and volunteer docents will be available to answer questions about materials, design and cost-efficiency, and also hand out a booklet of favorite recipes made in those very kitchens. The tour starts at Buffalo Seminary (where maps will be provided) and leads through some of our city’s finest neighborhoods: Bidwell/Chapin, Ashland/Norwood and Bryant/Summer areas are all covered, as are Lafayette, West Ferry, Oakland Place and others.

Sunday, October 1 from 11am–4:30pm. Buffalo Seminary (205 Bidwell Pkwy.); $18-$21. Contact Forever Elmwood at 881-0707 or www.foreverelmwood.org for advance tickets.
