Le Dîner en Blanc has become a worldwide epicurean phenomenon and after a brief breaking due to that virus we won’t mention, is returning to the big apple. It’s one of our favorite experiences to attend. Le Diner en Blac is roughly attended by over 5000 guests dressed Head-To-Toe in white to experience the Culinary Event of the Year.
Over the course of the evening, the diners eat and celebrate amid live music, and dancing, complete with festive white balloons. Many spend weeks in advance planning their menus. Guests also use the venue to express their unique fashion and design style; the often elaborate and creative outfits, fantastical hats, and decorative table settings are always a fabulous spectacle.

Invitations to the party are the most coveted on the New York social calendar, and for good reason, it is a fabulous experience. To be surrounded by like minded individuals focused only on merriment is a rare occasion and one we should all take advantage of. Adding the appeal is the exclusivity of the guest list.

If you are fortunate enough to be extended an invitation you won’t know where the party is until the last possible moment. The party’s location is a closely guarded secret and it differs each year and is only revealed to reveler hours before the kickoff. Diner en Blanc is like no other as the guests provide their own atmosphere. Each table setting is curated by the attendees, who bring their own tables chairs and centerpieces. This concept allows for a tremendous creative effort as guests build elaborate setups complete with lighting and luxurious plating.
