Description

Pick up desserts to pair with the classic film Casablanca. Complimentary discussion and tasting notes with the chefs. Join us for Valentine's Day desserts inspired by the classic film Casablanca. Released in 1942 when the outcome of WWII was still unknown, Casablanca portrays the beauty and complexity of love against the backdrop of a chaotic and changing world order. Pair our desserts with a cozy viewing of Casablanca or let the flavors transport you to life in Morocco's teeming metropole in the 1940s... The dessert menu is inspired by the cast of characters that frequent Rick's Café—a meeting place of refugees, resistance fighters, criminals and Vichy sympathizers from across Europe—and features sweets ranging from Moroccan and French classics to favorite desserts of the Czech Republic and Rick's own New York City.
