Dinners

  • Meals feature four seasonal dishes, two nonalcoholic beverages, and two desserts. We create recipes that highlight seasonal ingredients and can be easily recreated by our guests at home. 

  • We begin our dinners with food trivia relevant to that night’s theme. Guests are broken into small randomized groups and given a short quiz to answer together. This doubles as a palatable vehicle for food education and a natural ice-breaker. Questions cover a variety of terrain– botany, history, nutrition, sustainability, etc. 

  • All of our events are solo friendly, and we heavily encourage cross-pollinating among guests. Guests are required to wear name tags and provide a short introduction. Additionally, tables are lined with conversation prompts to facilitate discussion about life outside of food. 

TRansparentSOURCING

When you attend a YSAT event, you are directly supporting local producers who invest in sustainable farming practices. Ticket prices reflect the cost of these high quality ingredients.  

We source produce locally from GrowNYC Greenmarkets and local co-ops, and we source our dry goods from bulk refilleries such as Maison Jar, Precycle, and 4th Street Food Co-op.

Reviews

  • "Come for a thoughtfully prepared, delicious meal. Stay for excellent conversation amongst the warm community drawn to this unique experience. At YSAT, I’ve learned about food systems and made new friends! And I never leave hungry."

  • "My experience with your seat at the table was unforgettable. I oved learning about herbs and then seeing the various ways they can be incorporated across different types of meals. We learned herb care, herb history, and herb genealogy all while enjoying a multi-course meal. If that’s not enough, you also get to meet a group of very amazing people from different walks of life, adding a very valuable community aspect to this whole experience. 5/5 stars, will come back every time."

  • "I love Your Seat at the Table because the event program has given me the opportunity to eat delicious food while learning so much about sustainable food practices and meeting new people! I leave the dinner parties feeling inspired to make new dishes and incorporate different homegrown herbs and produce in my weekly meal rotation!"
