Midnight Brunch: Whisky and Meatballs from Around the World took over a DUMBO studio, infusing a cold concrete block of space with the scents of cinnamon, coriander, delicious tomato sauce and, of course, beautiful whisky.

This event was the first time we set the food up, self-serve style. Guests enjoyed as many meatballs as they could handle all night long. We used lamb, pork from Mosefund Mangalitsa Farm (exclusive pork provider for Midnight Brunch) and Pat LaFrieda ground beef. No vegetarians were harmed in the making or eating of these meatballs. :)
