NOTES: A Culinary Tour - Destination Mexico
NOTES: A Culinary Tour – Destination: Mexico
Wednesday, May 21st
Featuring Symbiosis – Live Jazz Duo
Join us for the debut of NOTES: A Culinary Tour, a one-of-a-kind dining and music experience where every Wednesday night becomes a passport to another place. For our inaugural journey, we're headed to Mexico — a land rich with bold flavors, vibrant traditions, and rhythms that move the soul.
Chefs Ash and Haze have crafted a menu that reimagines Mexican street food with elevated flair. Think crispy ground beef tostadas, melt-in-your-mouth pork belly pineapple tacos, fire-kissed pineapple chili wings, and sweet churros dipped in rich chocolate sauce. Pair your plate with a regionally inspired cocktail, and let your senses roam.
As you dine, the sultry sounds of Symbiosis — with David Wintermute on bass and Orion Weaver on sax — will fill the room, blending modern jazz with echoes of Latin soul to set the perfect sonic backdrop.
From Afro-Mexican street corn to the slow, smooth groove of saxophone melodies, this is not just dinner. It’s an immersive experience. A celebration of culture. A night to savor.
Let your palate explore. Let the music move you. This is NOTES.

VIN - Biggie VS Nas Listening Session
The three keys to the night:
Wine & Luxury Vibes – Enjoy a sophisticated evening with wine bottle specials all night in Missy Lane’s upscale cocktail bar, creating the perfect atmosphere to sip and unwind.
Vinyl & Live DJ Experience – Bring your own vinyl records and let Fin the DJ spin them alongside his curated collection from 7-10 PM, blending personal favorites with timeless classics.
Remix Record Boutique Pop-Up – Discover unique and rare vinyl finds at the Remix Record Boutique pop-up shop, adding a crate-digging experience to the night’s soundtrack.
This week at VIN, we’re doing something different. Two albums. One night.
We’re putting Biggie’s Ready to Die and Nas’s Illmatic side by side in a Versuz-style session that’s all about the music, the moments, and the impact.
Both dropped in the 1994. Both changed hip-hop forever. But they hit in completely different ways. One was cinematic and gritty. The other was sharp and poetic.
We’re going track for track and breaking it all down. No debates. No rankings. Just real conversation about two of the most important albums in hip-hop history.
This week’s session includes:
• Side-by-side album breakdown
• Stories behind the records
• Open convo on legacy, influence, and impact
• Drink specials
• Vinyl for sale
📍 Missy Lane’s Assembly Room | 310 E Main St, Durham NC
🕖 Wednesday, 7 PM to 10 PM
🎟 Free with RSVP
If you grew up on these records or came to them later, this is the night to pull up. Let’s talk about why they still matter.
