The Design Museum Boston has paired with seven Downtown Boston restaurants for the exhibition "Design for Dining," now open through November 11th. This week we're featuring MAST' and Nelson.  The Design for Dining exhibition showcases installations demonstrating how designers shape the dining experience. Nelson's Boston team created a steam punk-inspired chef's table complete with interactive technology and iPad interfacing. The restaurants were paired-off with seven leading design and architecture firms: Legal Crossing with Bergmeyer Associates; BONAPITA with Soldier Design; jm Curley with Jaywalk Studio; MAST' with NELSON; The Merchant with Payette; Silvertone Bar & Grill with Silverman Trykowski Associates; and SIP Wine Bar and Kitchen with Gate 3 Design. Each team designed and produced a new dining experience that will pop-up in each restaurant. There will be special menus and drinks that accompany these newly designed experiences from June to November.

Tickets are now available for Design Museum Boston's Downtown Table Tour on the evening of July 23rd. Sign up for one of two different, immersive experiences in which you'll sample appetizers, sip on custom cocktails, and hear from the design teams behind the Design for Dining exhibition. Member tickets are $50 when you enter your membership number as promotional code at checkout; Non-member tickets are $75.
