“It started with a simple idea - to gather neighbors and share a meal around a table down the middle of an NYC block. After two years of the pandemic, it was time to get together and enjoy time with neighbors.”

“In Short, The Longest Table Was a Feast of Much-Needed Neighborhood Fun. ‘I have never seen New Yorkers so happy. You could feel it in the air.’”

“500 New York City neighbors came together to share a meal at 'the longest table' on a busy street…to help the city we love recover and rebuild, and to energize and inspire others to act by creating moments of joy.”
