Ecco is giving spring a proper welcome by grilling in the great outdoors with "Beer Meats Grill" on Thursday, April 28 at 6:30 p.m. Guests can enjoy Executive Chef Micah Willix’s homemade sausages grilled-to-order beneath the warm glow of Midtown lights and a tasting of ice-cold domestic and European beers to wash it all down.
