A Pan-African Friendsgiving for everyone far from home.

No flight home? No family nearby? No desire to cook? Pull up a chair.

This Thanksgiving Eve, join us at Flavors from Afar for an evening of good food, music, and community.

Friends from Afar is our Pan-African Friendsgiving for solo guests, couples, friends, and anyone spending the holiday away from home.

Come with someone you know, or sit with people you haven't met yet. Our tables are open to everyone, and there's always room for another friend.

Your ticket includes:

• A welcome nonalcoholic beverage
• A three-course Pan-African prix fixe dinner
• Live Afrobeats and soul music from our DJ
• Your choice of communal or private table seating, subject to availability
• A Thanksgiving Day meal to take home

One dinner, two celebrations. Enjoy an evening together on Thanksgiving Eve, and take home a prepared meal for Thanksgiving Day.
