4. 2017 NYC Dîner en Blanc Pop Up White Party Returns to Lincoln Center

The 2017 edition of New York City Dîner en Blanc, the pop-up white dinner for thousands that originated in Paris, took Lincoln Center by storm. Although this was the second time the dinner has been on the plaza of Lincoln Center (the first took place in 2012), this year the location was host to 5000 guests, 2000 more than the first.

The additional guests, along with the dance floor, were in Damrosch Park, the 2.6 acre city park just next to the Metropolitan Opera House. With over 45,000 people on the wait list, the New York City Diner en Blanc is always one of the hot tickets of the summer and we were lucky enough to attend.
