Join Harlem's own sommelier and James Beard Award-winning author Cha McCoy for a special multi-course dinner and wine pairing with Philadelphia's award-winning Down North Pizza, celebrating the one-year anniversary of Cha's book, Wine Pairing for the People.

Down North Pizza comes up from Philadelphia's Strawberry Mansion for the occasion. Led by Muhammad Abdul-Hadi (2024 James Beard Foundation Leadership Award), Down North is known for its Detroit-inspired, Philly-perfected square pies and its fair-chance employment model for formerly incarcerated people. Cha pairs wine with global cuisine from Africa and beyond, and cooking alongside the chefs are participants in Free Food's culinary training program: justice-impacted New Yorkers building real kitchen careers.

Two kitchens, two cities, one belief: everybody eats, everybody pours, everybody has a seat at the table. The table is set. Come take communion.

THE MISSION

Every seat supports Free Food at Refettorio Harlem's three-course community dinner program, currently serving 900 meals weekly across three programs, and our culinary training initiative for justice-impacted New Yorkers. Our kitchen recovers surplus ingredients from farmers, distributors, and food producers and turns them into three-course meals served free to the Harlem community: over 225,000 lbs of food recovered since 2023.

GOOD TO KNOW
