Deets: On September 14th the world’s largest urban picnic Dîner en Blanc returned to New York, the city that jumpstarted a global phenomenon, in spectacular fashion!
Four thousand people, dressed in elegant head-to-toe white, came together in the heart of the Meatpacking District for a one-night celebration of food, wine, and friendship. The location for Diner en Blanc set a precedent for New York; it is the first-of-its kind collaboration with the Meatpacking District Management Association and the Street Activity Permits Office.
With co-founder and President of Dîner en Blanc International Sandy Safi at the helm, the French-inspired urban picnic Dîner en Blanc has become THE culinary event of the year in the U.S. and cities around the world. Launched in France 35 years ago, the one-of-a-kind global phenomenon has become a beloved tradition across 6 continents, with each location injecting its own culture and culinary voice. There are more than one million people on waiting lists worldwide.
Over the course of the evening, guests dined and danced under the stars, entertained by Broadway soloists Margot Siebert and Allison Blackwell, a quartet on stilts, a DJ and more. New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams stopped by to enjoy this remarkable event that has been embraced by New Yorkers for over a decade.
