We're thrilled to introduce Good Ground Tavern's Chef Series, nestled within the iconic Canoe Place Inn & Cottages. This series is a celebration of global gastronomy, where each month we host an unforgettable dining experience with guest chefs showcasing their culinary expertise. Kicking off the series on Labor Day Weekend, we welcome celebrity chef Nina Compton, who will be curating a NOLA-inspired three-course lobster boil. Known for her innovative approach to seafood blending rich New Orleans culinary heritage and Caribbean roots, she will elevate this classic New England tradition to new heights. The evening will be enhanced with a live NOLA-style jazz quintet featuring 5-time Grammy-nominated trombonist Jeffery Miller and his long-time sax player Calvin Johnson. Join us in celebrating the end of summer with the grand opening of our Chef Series! Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming guest chefs and be sure to reserve your spot early.

We were thrilled to once again be a part of Madison Square Park’s annual Party in the Park! This year, our very own Danny Meyer Founder of Madison Square Park Conservancy, was the honoree. It was a joyous celebration in the heart of Manhattan, where we catered the cocktail hour with passed canapés and had the pleasure of collaborating with our extended family for the dining experience. Among them were Hillary Sterling from Ci Siamo, who prepared the first course featuring Cured Tuna, and Michael Anthony from Gramercy Tavern, who led the Main Course with a Braised Short Rib. Lastly, but certainly not least, we were delighted to have John Karangis, former Executive Chef of Union Square Events, alongside Karen DeMasco present the dessert. Thrilled to contribute to the mission of the conservancy to protect, nurture, and enhance the park and engage the community.
