This Sunday, August 9, join us for the next event of our special Family Dinners with Mario Batali’s Chefs! Bring the kids to enjoy a warm summer evening with outdoor dining in the green oasis of the Garden, all prepared by leading chefs from the Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group‘s acclaimed restaurants.
NYBG provides a family-friendly fine dining experience in the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden, the future center of the Edible Academy and the perfect setting for a freshly prepared, garden-to-table meal in the open-air dining pavilion. Kids ages 4 to 12 can enjoy fun and educational outdoor activities in the hub of our organic vegetable gardening program as visiting chefs from the Batali & Bastianich restaurant group come to lead a live preparation of an exclusive tasting menu featuring healthy and delicious options. Continue reading for details, including the exclusive menu that will be prepared for guests on August 9.
For the next Family Dinner on August 9, we welcome Chef Mario LaPosta from Babbo Boston and Chef Jon Katz of Tarry Market as they prepare a very special three-course menu. Begin with a salad of summer squash, sungold tomatoes, fiore di zucca, herbs, homemade stracciatella, and aceto manadori. Next up is a main course of Tarry Market porchetta with summer vegetables and fresh herbs alongside tri-color bean salad with Coach Farms goat ricotta and candied pistachios, and roasted heirloom and Yukon Gold potatoes with rosemary and garlic. Cap it all off with a dessert of polenta budino with berries, whipped cream, and a cherry. The last menu was a resounding success with those who joined us for dinner, and this one is bound to be equally delicious. Both red and white wine will be made available for parents!
Tickets are $85 for adults and $35 for children. Price includes the entire prix fixe dinner menu for the whole family, and access to the hands-on gardening and craft activities for kids.
