In preparation for the New York Food Book Fair [4], the Garden Gather Dinner [5] invites local foodies to experience a private dinner of local fare [6] at the new Wythe Hotel [7] in Williamsburg. This Friday, guests can partake in a unique dinner honoring co-founder of the New York Mycological Society, John Cage, and benefitting GrowNYC’s New Farmer Development Project [8]. Guests will enjoy a freshly gardened and foraged dinner by Chef-Artist Leif Hedendal [9] and Mark Andrew Gravel [10].
The intimate dinner invites guests to preview a private, subterranean space in the new hotel on Williamsburg’s waterfront. The Wythe Hotel [11] has transformed an abandoned red bricked factory, originally built in 1901, into a gorgeous new property and restaurant, run by Marlow and Sons.
The Garden Gather Dinner will feature a six course tasting menu, with incredible dishes made from local ingredients, such as braised heirloom red cowpeas with roasted pheasant’s back mushrooms [12] and ramps. Beverages will be provided by the nearby Brooklyn Brewery.
Guests will also have the opportunity to chat with co-president of the New York Mycological Society [13], Eugenia Bone, and Gary Lincoff, author of The Audobon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms [14]. Aside from incredible fare, a preview of Wythe Hotell and featured guests, the $150 tickets will help support GrowNYC [15]’s New Farmer Development Project. Foodies of New York, get your tickets here [5], and kick off the New York Food Book Fair will incredible food and conversation.
