Join New York Adventure Club as we uncover how the American Gilded Age gave rise to a new elevated dining scene throughout the country, from private social clubs and restaurants that became the nexus for business deals to banquet dinners that could make or break a family's societal status.
Join us for a four course luncheon featuring dishes from the Gilded Age Cookbook artfully crafted by Chef Adam Diltz, whose recipe for Rabbit, Hunter Style is included in the book! Books will be available for purchase at a 20% discount.
