New York dinner parties are the subject of lore and legends. With incredible trends, amazing food hubs for inspiration, and many different ways to host a successful dinner party, it is one to remember. Keep reading to learn about the hottest New York dinner party trends for your upcoming hosting season.
1. Learn with Each Other at a Group Cooking Class
Group cooking classes can either be the event or the event precursor. Depending on how intimate the dinner party is, the same group can attend a group cooking class and relive the fun memories while sharing that dish you’ve perfected in your home.
2. ‘Murder In New York’ Murder Mystery Dinner Party
A murder mystery party is a fantastic dinner party theme for both old and new group members. Add some extra flair with a specific dress code for the theme of the murder or characters. While this leaves interpretation open for the menu, think about pairing it with the storyline somehow. The limits are boundless!
3. Dress Down with Barbecue Dinner Party
For those who need an excuse to get outdoors, consider having a barbecue night. Whether on a NYC venue rooftop, in the local community garden, or in a larger park, a low-key cookout is a great change of pace. Guests can bring additions and sides potluck style to really have that home-grown feel. Barbecues are also a classic summer staple that never goes out of style.
4. Dinner and a Game
Game nights are a fantastic way to reconnect with friends after a busy week and decompress. Go for the mentally stimulating classics like Scrabble, or pick a more risky bluffing game to blow off some steam. Dinner and drink menus can reflect the roster of games for the night or be elevated to a classier version. Charcuterie boards, personalized pizzas, or ordering in from some of New York’s finest takeout places can all help curate the evening.
5. A Trip Around the World for Dinner
New York has an array of culinary cultures. Celebrate diversity, cultures, and the innovative aspects of New York with a spread of dishes from each continent, major countries, or even ones you and your guests haven’t ventured to try yet. Culinary accomplishments are as rampant as the classics in cultural food in this city. Take a chance and explore a more intimate aspect.
