Blind Date With A Book

Ready to fall in love with a story you haven’t met yet?
Join us for a cozy Blind Date with a Book evening
January 31. 2026
The Hidden Cork – 54 Pulteney Street, Hammondsport, NY
7:00 PM
Here’s how it works:
Bring a book you’ve enjoyed—wrapped in brown craft paper or tucked inside a plain brown paper bag. On the outside, write 3 intriguing sentences about the book…No title, No author, Just enough hints to tempt a fellow reader!

The experience includes a beautifully arranged grazing table featuring seasonal bites and artisanal nibbles, one complimentary signature drink (alcoholic or mocktail), and live music by Joe Lamanna, whose soft winter acoustics set the tone for an intimate and inviting atmosphere. Whether attending solo or with friends, guests are encouraged to slow down, savor the moment, and rediscover the joy of reading as a shared experience.

Invite your book club. Rally your friends. With limited tickets available, this is an evening you won’t want to miss.
It’s low-pressure, high-fun, and filled with the kind of bookish magic that makes winter feel a little warmer.
