Means of Production: Shaken or Stirred

in collaboration with Suite ThreeOhSix and Feastly
Means of Production is an experiential cocktail that explores the relationship of mixology, movement and making. Guests will enter another dimension of time and motion, where shaking, stirring and smashing are transformed into an experimental choreography.
Stimulating all the senses, Means of Production engages 3 of New York City’s top bartenders to mix, shake or stir their respective, classic cocktails while under blacklight motion capture.
with:
Chris Lowder (Nomad and Amor y Amargo)
Jack McGarry (Dead Rabbit and Tales of the Cocktail International Bartender of the Year)
Dessert Menu by Calva
Part contemporary dance, part cocktail party, guests will not only witness a ballet of mixology, but, in their drinking, become part of the performance as their consumption becomes the background of this otherworldly tableau vivant.
Dress code is strictly limited to black.

The Recipe Project

The Recipe Project (presented in collaboration with Roulette)

One Ring Zero

With a special, live addition of The Food Seen on Heritage Network Radio, hosted by Michael Harlan Turkell.

A unique, recently published book and CD project presents recipes by top chefs scored by Brooklyn based, indie rock band, One Ring Zero.  Lead by composer Michael Hearst, the band experimented with a variety of musical styles according to each chef’s vision. The lyrics were contributed by Mario Batali, Tom Collicio, and David Chang, among others.

In the spirit of the project, this event brings together live music, delicious food and drinks, and some personal reflections on both. This final component will be presented by food writer and photographer Michael Harlan Turkell, hosting a special addition of his talk show The Food Seen on Heritage Network Radio from Roulette.
