Princeton Celebrates “Dîner Inn Blanc”

Princeton residents are invited to join students of Princeton University’s Forbes College and Whitman College for the best bargain in town: the second annual “Dîner Inn Blanc” under twinkling lights.

“This dinner is all about community of the table,” said Fran McManus, co-founder and board member of Princeton School Gardens Cooperative. “It gives local producers and local merchants a chance to celebrate our delicious Garden State.”

The main course will be served up from Princeton University’s Dining Services, the bread from Terra Momo Bread Company and ice cream flavored with rosemary from Princeton School gardens -- made especially for the dinner by the bent spoon.

Diners are asked to wear white, then mix it up with the 500 students, 
many far from home -- all just waiting to be asked the origin and import of the 
word “inn” to the college.

Individual tickets are $5, with a maximum of $20 per family.

processing. 

The location and entry time will be revealed to ticket buyers via e-mail on Wednesday, Oct. 9. 

In case of rain, attendees will be notified via email on Tuesday, Oct. 8. Community members will be issued a rain check voucher for a $5 lunch in the Frist Campus Center Food Gallery.

The dinner is jointly sponsored by Princeton University, Princeton School Gardens Cooperative and Corner House. Ticket proceeds will benefit the Cooperative and Corner House.
