Maia Is Finally Coming

We first mentioned Maia back in September of 2006. Well it looks like the Villanova mega-restaurant is finally going to open. They’re even hiring.

May 3rd, Patrick and Terence Feury will open the doors to their 22,000 sqft restaurant, gourmet market and espresso café with a $100 per person open house benefiting several charities.

One thousand tickets to Maia Cares are for sale. In addition to live music visitors will also have a chance to check out many of Maia’s hors d’oeuvres along with selections from Maia’s bar, wine cellar and craft beer list.

Tickets are available through Deb Connor Events (dsconnor@comcast.net).

List of the included bites and more information on the charities after the jump.
