An absolutely epic collection of photos from an unforgettable night with chef Connolly, Plate to Gate, Brooklyn Grange, Red Newt and Tuthilltown Spirits, and all of our lovely guests. It’s possible that it was the most beautiful night ever, in that part of Queens, though it was without doubt one of the most delicious. There’s two more Plate to Gate dinners at the Brooklyn Grange rooftop farm Thurs Aug 4 & Thurs Sept 29. Check the blog for details! Thank you everyone who joined us, and everyone who helped make another movable feast possible!
Chef Patrick Connolly’s Plate to Gate series of dinners is all about living the eat/drink local ethic. Helping us bring the drink part to life this summer is Red Newt Cellars. We’ll be pouring their Cabernet Franc and Riesling all summer. Red Newt is definitely living the dream. Want to know more about where and when you can get these delicious wines with our movable feasts? Here’s where to look.
Kicking off this summer’s Plate to Gate series of locational feasts is Brunch at Neversink Farm. Located at 641 Claryville Road in Claryville, NY, Neversink is the embodiment of sustainable farming, Catskills lore and summertime al fresco dining. Check it out on facebook and give us a call here at Bobo for info and tickets!
UPDATE! The brunch at Neversink has been postponed. We’re aiming for a June 25th reschedule. Give us a call (212-488-2626) for any more info or updates.
