Platform by the James Beard Foundation

Fresh off winning two 2026 James Beard Media Awards—including her induction into the Broadcast Media Hall of Fame and a win for Pati’s Mexican Table—and two Daytime Emmy nominations, chef, TV host, and bestselling cookbook author Pati Jinich joins us for an unforgettable dinner celebrating her latest book, Foods of La Frontera: Recipes and New Taste Frontiers from Both Sides of the Border.
During her book research, Jinich learned that rather than being defined by a single regional style, Borderland cuisine pulls from a vibrant tapestry of Mexican culinary traditions brought by generations of regional migrants, creating a distinct food culture richer and more varied than any individual Mexican state.
The evening will feature a menu built around meaningful dishes from the book, showcasing the culmination of Jinich’s decade-long research journey across the 1,954-mile U.S.–Mexico border—stretching from San Diego to Brownsville and spanning California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and beyond. The special menu will also include wines from Casa Madero, the oldest winery in the entirety of the Americas featured in an upcoming episode of season 15 of Pati’s Mexican Table.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to taste the Borderlands brought vividly to life under one roof.
Copies of Foods of La Frontera will be available for purchase with ticket or on-site, provided by our friends at Kitchen Arts &amp; Letters.&nbsp; This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&amp;A with the featured chefs.

Richard Gadd, creator, writer, executive producer, and star of HBO’s&nbsp;Half-Man, joins entertainment journalist Jessica Shaw for a conversation about the making of one of television’s most provocative new dramas.
Gadd, nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Performing Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, takes us inside his performance as Ruben Pallister and the long road to bringing&nbsp;Half-Man&nbsp;to the screen. He began writing the series in 2019, then set it aside when&nbsp;Baby Reindeer&nbsp;was commissioned. Four years later, he returned to it, spending two intense years shaping the story.
At its center is the volatile relationship between two men who think of themselves as brothers, traced across three decades. Dark, funny, shocking, and deeply uncomfortable,&nbsp;Half-Man&nbsp;explores masculinity, repression, intimacy, and the damage people do to each other when they cannot say what they mean or confront who they are.
Hear Gadd discuss what he drew on both as writer and actor, how the series evolved over six years, and why his most unsettling stories can also be his most revealing about the world we live in.

Sutton Place Parks,  E 56th St, New York, NY, 10022

The Sutton Place Parks Conservancy presents an afternoon with Hopalong Andrew, who New York Magazine dubbed "the countryfied king of our children’s entertainment circuit." Admission is free.
Hopalong Andrew is a folk and western music artist from New York City who performs original and traditional songs, and often tapped by presenters for his “family music” appeal. His recordings include his multi-award-winning debut album “Howdy Do!” (2018) which celebrates city life and it’s inspirational “Can-Do Spirit.” His long-awaited follow-up release, “Everybody’s Invited to the Party,” is coming soon.
Hopalong Andrew’s family-friendly style naturally appeals to families but he has the flexibility to suit a range of audiences and occasions, including the older adults who grew up with the television cowboys of the 1950s. With clever and whimsical cowboy songs and energetic theatrics, his high-spirited music is something all people can enjoy while experiencing the serenity of New York's most picturesque waterfront parks.
