Dear friends,
Spring has sprung, and the next Belgian Mondays gathering is just around the corner! Join us on Monday, April 1st (#NoJoke), from 6.30PM onwards for an evening of mingling, socializing and drinks.
This month we’ll meet at the wonderful Farm To Burger - aka the new generation of La Petite Abeille! It’s a farm-to-table inspired ode to the American patty, located on the ground floor of the new Aliz Hotel Times Square at 310 W. 40th Street. Drinks will be served at the bar on the right-hand side of the lobby, and the group will convene at a dedicated section in the beautiful dining area.
We kindly ask you to RSVP before Monday, April 1st (12 PM), to belgianmondays.nyc@gmail.com.
For those who are also up for a bite to eat: Farm to Burger sources its all-natural beef from Fossil Farms, which bans the use of antibiotics, hormones, and steroids. Farm to Burger's vegetarian option is courtesy of Impossible Foods, producer of the renowned Impossible Burger. All buns are from Bien Cuit, which is dedicated to supporting regenerative agriculture.
