Story summary

On Thursday, October 1, thousands of diners dressed in white gathered for the annual Dîner en Blanc event in a secret location in New York City. Participants first met at designated meeting points and were led to their final venue, where they set up tables, chairs, and white tablecloths for an outdoor dinner. This year's theme was 'Une Soirée Parisienne - La Belle Époque', giving the evening a distinctly French feel with guests dressing elegantly and decorating their tables with flowers, candles, and fine tableware. The tradition started in Paris in 1988 and has since expanded to numerous cities worldwide; in New York, keeping the venue secret until shortly before the event adds an element of surprise for participants.
