Philo's Feast with Friends x Gina Bruno: GATHER
The first leaves are falling, and it’s already that time of year to start cozying up, and celebrating with friends & family around food. Join Philo and Gina Bruno for a fall Feast with Friends, where we’ll share traditions and “Why we Gather” over delicious seasonal bites prepared by Chef Gina Bruno. Feast with Friends is Philo’s signature gathering series connecting you to new friends and incredible tastes from NYC’s most inspiring chefs, brands and makers.
Expect heart & belly-warming dishes, a CHANDON Sparkling Wine bar, a live “harvest market” where you’ll be able to fill your basket with goods from Row 7 Seed Co., Graza, Bright Farms, The Great Chestnut Experiment and more, and of course, moments to connect with gratitude and community.
In the spirit of the season of giving, we’ll also be partnering with an organization near & dear to our hearts: One Love Community Fridge. We can’t wait to see you there!
