Last night…

…my husband and I had the most wonderful dinner, part of a series of coast-to-coast outdoor events put on by Outstanding in the Field. They stretch their long, white-clothed tables through some of the most dramatic landscapes around North America. This one being in the middle of New York City, they set up camp in a community garden on the Lower Eastside. Even though it lacks the wide-open spaces of some of their other dinners, they still managed to make it look so magical that I forgot it was 90-somethingº outside!

Or maybe it was really all the Long Island wine that made me forget the heat!

The locally-sourced food was cooked by Chef Bill Telepan, and we shared it family-style. I’m sorry I didn’t get any pictures of the food, but I was too busy, eating drinking and making new friends!

I’m so very jealous! I tried to go to one of these while they were out here on the Left Coast, but just couldn’t squeeze it in. Sounds like it was an amazing time!

Oh, that looks like so much fun! I noticed the spicy melon, cucumber, and radish salad on the menu–what a fun flavor combination. I’ll have to try it at home.
