Daredevil dining

The top gimmick for this summer in Vilnius is without a doubt the “Dinner in the Sky” on Rotušės aikštė – town hall square. The event ran for only five days, between 3-7 August and a sunset dinner would have set you back 99 euros per head, while the pleasure of sipping a cocktail suspended 50 metres above anything solid would set you back only 29 euros. The concept is in its fourth year running in the Lithuanian capital, so clearly people are up for a memorable meal served up by star chefs Giulio Terrinoni, Deivydas Praspaliauskas or Josué Vergara. The one question I still have is: after a couple glasses of bubbles on the ground, an agonisingly slow ascent and a full dinner up high, strapped into a seat with heavy duty straps, swaying gently back and forth in the breeze, what do you do if you start feeling the urge to go for a tinkle?
