"The food was delicious, the space was perfect and conducive to easy flow of conversation...It felt very comfortable and I feel like I'm walking away with things to process and think about. Can't say enough good things. Great concept, great execution!" Regina,
Old Town
Across the Table offers one night, individual dinners or dinner series. Individual dinners give participants a taste of Across the Table. If you sign up for a dinner series, you will be dining with the same group of people for all of your dinners and will be able to dive into a variety of conversation topics over the course of the series. Each dinner will be limited to ten people including a facilitator who will guide the conversation.
The location of the dinners depends on which group you are in. Check the Sign Up to Join Us for Dinner page for the details. Almost all of the meals are vegetarian, those that aren't will be indicated, and served family style. Some of the places we go are BYOB so if you’d like to bring your own beer and wine, that’s great! But of course to do so you need to be 21 years of age or older.
Individual Dinners:
Individual dinners are limited to ten people in total, including the facilitator and take place in restaurants all over the City of Chicago. We love to try restaurants that represent our city's ethnic diversity so if you are a frequent participant, you probably won't be going to the same place twice! Since this group will only be together for one evening, we focus on allowing the diners to have the opportunity to learn new things about each other and themselves but the main topic is always changing so that you can return and have different conversation each time!
Community Partner Dinners
The Community Parnter Dinners are a type of Individual Dinners that take place in partnership with an organization or take place in conjunction with a theater event, an art exhibition, a dance performance, a musical performance, or in response to a current event.
Dinner Series (Coming in 2010!!):
This is a program for first time or repeat Across the Table participants. At each dinner you will participate in a conversation around a theme. The following explains the topics for each week*:
Week One- Our identities and how we became the people we are today?
Week Two- How we define “family” and how we see our roles in our families?
Week Three- Our communities, how we relate to them and how our communities relate to each other.
Week Four- This week you will be invited to bring a friend who would like to introduce to Across the Table. We will also wrap up our discussions and talk about how the conversations we had changed our perspectives. We will also discuss ways in which we can apply our Across the Table experiences to our daily lives.
*Weekly conversations are subject to change.
