Diner Inn Blanc, a cooperative flash mob style dinner hosted at Princeton University in cooperation with Corner House. 

Corner House and Princeton University are acting on the yearly report published by The Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. Again this year the report finds the value of family meals to be catamount in the deterrence of drug and alcohol use.

The connection teens feel and the quality of the relationship with parents is strengthened by time spent at the family table- the more connected teens are to their parents the less likely they are to use drug and alcohol.  Of all the places we rush to take our kids we MUST take them to the table.  

Corner House and Princeton University understand the hurry up world we live in and want to help families find ways to have family meals in a variety of new and create ways and venues.  

Together and with the generosity of The Bent Spoon, Terra Momo Restaurant Group, Infini-T and Princeton University Food Service led by Stu Orefice, they have created a fabulous family dinner event.  

This is not a fundraiser or a for-profit event, all monies from tickets will be to reimburse cost. This is not a program-driven night, there will be no information booths or lectures, this is simply modeling family dinner and giving University and community members to find a way to have an easy, inexpensive family dinner.  

Tickets are $5/per person with a $20/per family max (families of 5 or more $20.00).

Around 8 p.m., the Princeton High School co-ed a capella singing group will be performing.

The evening will be a sit down, family sytle dinner served at a location that will not be disclosed until 12-24 hours before dinnertime, 6 p.m. Thursday, October 25.

What could be easier, come with your family and be seated amongst university students to enjoy a beautifully prepared meal at a fabulous outside campus location.
