Join YAANY for our Second Annual Foodie Networking Dinner at the Natural Gourmet Institute in Chelsea. Over a 3-course meal and free-flowing wine, we'll discuss the future of food, and hear from students in the Yale Sustainable Food Project about the educational projects they're working on, and how Yale is helping shape the future of food sustainability.

The Natural Gourmet Friday Night Dinner is a New York Magazine Critic's Pick, a Time Out "Best of New York" and one of CBS New York's "Best Things to Do in NYC". Our candle-lit private room will be filled with new friends, conversation and lots to eat!
