After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the posh picnic known as Le Dîner en Blanc is returning to New York City next month.
Le Dîner en Blanc -- in which diners have to don their best white attire -- will take place at a secret location on Sept. 19.
As in previous years, before participants take a seat to dine on the yet undisclosed location, they will meet at an assigned departure spot where an event volunteer will escort them to this year's secret destination.
Entrance to the coveted and secret soiree is sought after but the registration to participate is still quite restrictive. According to the organizers, registration for Le Dîner en Blanc takes place in three phases:
- Phase 1: Members from the previous year and friends of the organization and leaders
- Phase 2: Friends "sponsored" by Phase 1 members
- Phase 3: People who signed up to the waiting list
