For as long as the Hudson River has flowed, shadows and spirits have haunted its shores.
This Halloween, The Culinary Institute of America is welcoming in the dark and those who dare to greet it with a dinner party, of course!
Enjoy the spoils of the Hudson Valleys harvest paired with spirits, both in your glass and perhaps in the ether, for Shadows and Spirits: A Hex and Harvest Supper Club.
The evening will be hosted by the club's own Mrs. Lenora Van Alstyne and her cousin Mr. Percival Finch, whose fascination with the region's folklore tends to test her patience.
General Admission Tickets Include:
A four-course dinner drawn from the Hudson Valley's harvest
Wine and spirits pairing throughout the evening
A Hex on the Rocks cocktail hour
Special VIP Tickets Include:
Premium seating in Farquharson Hall with Phantom Service
Tableside immersion featuring bespoke storytelling and folklore narration
Exclusive wine and spirits pairings throughout the evening
Exclusive access and early arrival to the "Hex on the Rocks" cocktail hour
Tangible keepsakes that will serve as a reminder of the Gilded Age
Between courses, expect close-up conjurers, cartomancers, and a few secrets the room will need to piece together before dessert can be served. What exactly is hiding in Farquharson Hall this Halloween? That's up to you to discover. Dont be haunted by missing out; some evenings dont come back around...
