In-line with our Dining & Dialogue series, the New York Times will be hosting a talk on The Architecture of Eating on Oct 6th.

Join food journalists and cooking experts for the first-ever New York Times Food Festival on Oct. 5–6. You’ll find tastings, live cooking demos and more in Bryant Park; panel discussions with food-world favorites at TheTimesCenter; and extraordinary meals at 10 New York City restaurants. Come celebrate what it means to eat, drink and cook in the heart of New York City.

One of The Talks, The Architecture of Eating, discusses how architecture, design and culinary expertise create a welcoming environment, before the first bite. Find out from two masters of the visual feast: Restaurateur Danny Meyer and David Rockwell, architect and designer of Nobu restaurants (and countless others). Reserve your tickets at nytfoodfestival.com, and enjoy 25% off The Talks panel discussions with code AIANYMACC.
