Rabbit Mafia

Unlike Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, the only thing complex about this supper club are the flavors of Rabbit Mafia and Sweet Potato's dishes. Enjoy a 3-course dinner at BRIDGET located on the edge of the East River.

For the October installment of The New Deal, we've decided to let the weather dictate our direction with a mix of raw and cooked foods. This month we head into the garden patch, much like Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny to bring you sweet potatoes, cauliflower, cabbages and apples direct from New York farms and orchards. Once again, we look to our neighboring entrepreneurs Sea2Table based in Brooklyn NY and Bridge Vineyards on the North Fork of Long Island.

The New Deal is growing but we'll always stick to our values and in doing so, we'll continue to bring you delicious, fresh food from sustainable sources while supporting new businesses, artists and entrepreneurs. In September, we began a new aspect of The New Deal by inviting organizations to sponsor a dinner. This month, we have invited Benjamin Wymer - Director, Development & Special Events of LIFEbeat. More information about LIFEBeat will be available at The New Deal.

ABOUT SEA2TABLE

The three guiding principles are: Wild, Sustainable, & Direct. Although farmed fish have an important role in feeding people around the world, the wild fish of the sea are one of man’s greatest resources. In order for our grandchildren to enjoy this bounty, we must change the way we treat our oceans by behaving responsibly and sustainably. By directly connecting fishermen to the market, Sea to Table not only creates value for the consumer, but value to fishermen, fisheries, and fishing cultures.
