Midtown Partners

MIDTOWN, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. ❤️

What meals remind you of home?
Who taught you to cook?
Where did people gather?
What foods, places, traditions, and memories tell the story of Midtown?

The Midtown Table is a community story gathering—and we’re pulling up a chair for you.

Join us around the table to share stories about food, family, culture, neighborhood, and place. Bring a story, memory, or experience of your own—or simply come ready to listen and connect.

The stories and themes shared around the table will also help inspire our Made in Midtown Creative Fellows as they create new work and content rooted in the people and experiences of our community.
