Feeding the Future: A Celebration of Place with Open House New York

Open House New York Open City Benefit | Hosted at GLDG 303 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard | Menu by Great Performances | Senior Event Director Morgan Golumbuk

Our founder, Liz, has been on the board of Open House New York since 2020, and I have been lucky enough to partner with them on two of their annual events (the Open City Benefit in the spring and the OHNY Weekend Launch Party in the fall) since the following year. 

This year’s Open City Benefit was held at BLDG 303 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and brought together 400 design and civic leaders in a celebration of the power of place and new possibilities for our city. We called on our Culinary Director, Andrew Smith, to curate a highly seasonal family style menu and partnered with Kings County Distillery to serve a delicious, classic Penicillin cocktail at the bar.

From the initial walkthrough in December to the event in April, we collaborated with the Open House New York team to bring their vision to life. They continue to open doors for New Yorkers, and we will always be ready to feed them.
