It's summertime, so all we ask for is a cold drink and an invite to the cookout. This Prospect Heights eatery is doing both (and then some), by taking over a rooftop in Manhattan for an all-out BBQ bash this month. Even better? It is all for a very good cause.
On July 24, Leland Eating and Drinking House is popping up at Heritage Foods' rooftop in Chelsea for an all-you-can-eat BBQ benefit. Unlimited eats include an oyster shucking bar with bivalves sourced fresh by Greenpoint Fish, swordfish, and arrosticini skewers, plus crudites and charcuterie for noshing. But don't fill up just yet—Leland's chef/partner Delfin Jaranilla will be taming the flame, grilling all manner of fish, meats and vegetables. Thirsty? The team will be tending bar, serving up Faccia Brutto spritzers, G+Ts with house-made tonic and Julia Gin, as well as vermouth service with Dalla Terra and more.
But beyond the fun and buzz of it all, this is a BBQ that gives back: 100 percent of the event's proceeds will benefit Edible Schoolyard NYC, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to make edible education accessible to every child in New York.
Tickets are $85 and include unlimited drinks and food. Reserve your spot here.
