Destination Dining - Helsinki x Harlem Nordic Fusion Dinner

Kota Alliance’s annual fundraising event, Destination Dining is back!

Destination Dining - Helsinki x Harlem presents some of the most talented chefs from

within the New Nordic culinary movement in the European Nordics teaming up with a

local super talent to create an unforgettable evening in a historical setting in Harlem.

Back for a second time around at Destination Dining, are the award-winning head chefs

and owners of restaurants 305 and Wellamo, Janne Keskevaari and Dani Hänninen from

Helsinki. Joining them is the celebrated Bronx-based chef Lana Lagomarsini, most

recently known for her appearance in season 1 of Netflix’s new show, the Pressure

Cooker.

The evening will start with cocktails and a small bite at 6:30 pm, followed by a sit-down

dinner. Tickets are priced at $250 with the possibility for an additional donation to be

made. Corporate sponsorships are welcome, from $2500 and up, please inquire at

jaana@kota-alliance.org. You can also help us invite some community members by

purchasing an extra ticket for $150.

A ticket includes a 6-course dinner created in collaboration between the chefs, and a

beverage pairing, including cocktails inspired by the Scandinavian summer designed by

internationally awarded bartender Daniel Woodward. Weather permitting, we will enjoy those

in our back patio.

Please let us know about any possible dietary restrictions and/or allergies at least one week before the dinner by emailing us at daniel@kota-alliance.org.

All proceeds from the event go towards Kota’s programming in health and wellness,

healing arts, and economic empowerment for women in our community.
