'The Longest Table' Plans Massive UES Potluck This Summer

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — The Longest Table, a neighborhood potluck where neighbors eat alongside each other at a massive table the length of a street block, is planning to come to the Upper East Side for the first time this summer.

According to a presentation to Community Board 8's Street Fairs committee on Tuesday, the quirky community-building event will be on June 11 on East 70th Street between First and Second avenues from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

"Everyone in the neighborhood is invited to bring their own meal and come take a seat at the table for the special opportunity to socialize, have conversations and get to know each other," the application for the event reads.

This event will be sponsored by Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, according to the application.

The first Longest Table event happened in Chelsea in 2024, and since then, it's been held in other New York City neighborhoods and cities across the country.

"This will be the first one on the Upper East Side," organizers wrote in the application.
