The Feel
The past two years have been both harrowing and transformative. This is a moment for reflection and release. For this, we are building a complete experience, the installation, the food, the cocktails, the location, and the interactions of this event are all crafted around one simple desire: catharsis.

The Location
For these three nights, we will be taking over the historic Angel Orensanz, on the lower east side of Manhattan. Constructed in 1850, the building's interior was built to resemble the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. The experience of Halloween weekend will sprawl across its three levels and every nook within.

The Nights
Each night will offer a similar program, with secrets shared on the mezzanine, an interactive installation on the main floor, and a dark, hedonistic dance party on the sub-level. We are offering this event across three nights to allow for limited capacities and room to breathe.
The Menu
We are developing a menu of passed hors d'oeuvre with Purslane, the first zero-waste, carbon-free caterer. Purslane is from the team behind Rucola, Jane, and Rhodora. The offering will include vegan options.
