Strega Nonna hosting WNMU Public Media benefit concert with Loudon Wainwright III
We recently welcomed Rachael Grossman, the self-described "lead Nonna" and owner of Strega Nonna, to discuss the restaurant's upcoming summer collaboration benefiting WNMU Public Media. Located in an historic, delightfully whimsical 1800s building in downtown Negaunee, the eatery is hosting a special outdoor concert designed to bring the community together for a vital cause.
