Your Neighbor's Table: A Sustainable Global Culinary Bazaar & Tasting

The future of sustainable eating isn’t new — it’s something we can rediscover by learning from one another's food traditions. Drawing on New York City’s incredible cultural diversity, Plant Powered Metro New York invites community members to gather around your neighbor’s table for Climate Week NYC which coincides with UN Week. Meet community chefs representing cultures from around the world who have prepared dishes made of whole plant foods, rooted in their heritage. Rotate from table to table sampling flavors, collecting recipes, hearing the stories behind each dish, and learning the powerful benefits of plant-based eating for environmental and human health. Along the way, you’ll discover that while every culture has its own unique culinary traditions, many share a common thread of delicious, nourishing plant foods and meals. Plants have nourished communities for generations, and the cultivation of plant foods has a dramatically gentler environmental footprint than large-scale animal agriculture. Your Neighbor’s Table is a celebration of the many ways plant-powered eating has long been woven into cultures from around the world, centering beans, grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, herbs, and spices. We invite you to rediscover the wisdom found across cultures and leave with delicious and practical strategies (and recipes!) to support your health and the health of our planet for generations to come. Stay tuned to learn more about our featured guests and chefs! This is a family-friendly event — kids are welcome to join the rotation to meet chefs and taste dishes, and there will be a kids’ corner with complementary child-friendly activities. Doors open at 5:30 PM, and the program will begin promptly at 6:00 PM.
