"Clear your calendar, grab your casserole dish and prepare to dine al fresco under one of New York's most iconic landmarks. On Saturday, October 18, Gotham Park will transform the space beneath the Brooklyn Bridge into one uninterrupted, communal dining table for the first-ever Longest Table at Gotham Park , a free afternoon potluck where the only ticket required is something to share."
"From noon to 3:30 pm, the park's north side will transform into a four-acre public space filled with tables, chairs and neighbors, all gathered to celebrate connection through food. Guests are encouraged to bring a dish, a drink or even a decorative centerpiece to add to the mix. After lunch, the festivities will continue with a performance by Teatro Grattacielo's opera ensemble and a guided conversation on community, culture and creativity."
