Diwali Sundowner Potluck

​UPDATE: date changed to Nov 7, Saturday

​The Diwali Sundowner, with a twist! ✨

​An Indo-Mexican potluck celebrating Diwali, right here in Brooklyn!

​Whether you’re feeling homesick for Diwali back home, curious to experience it for the first time, or just here for good food and great company, come hang!

​Almost a decade into our relationship, Rio and I still stand by our belief that Indian and Mexican food belong together. So, we’re making it happen! 🇮🇳🌮

​The plan: Bring one dish to share, Indian or Mexican inspired. No MasterChef pressure, I promise! Your favorite restaurant or Trader Joe’s are fair game. We’ll bring the apps, curated cocktails, and games. You bring the good vibes!

​Think festive, cozy, a little elevated, and a little taste of Diwali back home, with a New York twist.

​A few things:

• ​RSVP only if you can make it, as spots are limited!

• ​Once you RSVP, drop the dish you’re bringing in the comments.

• ​Bonus points if your dish has a story behind it, whether it’s something your mom makes, a favorite takeout order, or just something you love.
