Our Culinary Team launched their pop-up dinner series back in 2023. We’re excited to bring it back again this winter with the first pop-up on Friday, January 23rd! This menu is titled Fjord & Vildmark (Sea and Wilderness). A journey through the untamed beauty of the north, Fjord and Vildmark draws inspiration from the icy waters, deep forests, and quiet resilience of the Scandinavian winter. Each course is a meditation on isolation, endurance, and the beauty found in restraint. Our first tasting menu of the New Year is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and take comfort in the season’s stillness. Reservations: P.Faty@cornellclubnyc.com or 212.692.1387.
