Inspired by his highly anticipated new cookbook, All Hours, James Beard Award-winning® chef, acclaimed author and the visionary behind Tatiana, Kwame Onwuachi will host his first-ever Signature Event at NYCWFF, joined by D-Nice for a special music set—a one-night-only rooftop celebration of the food, flavors, music and cultural influences that have shaped one of America's most influential chefs.

Named "the most important chef in America" by the San Francisco Chronicle, Kwame personally curated an all-star lineup of his favorite New York restaurants, chefs and culinary talents for an unforgettable evening above the city skyline. Set against the iconic backdrop of Pier 17, you’ll enjoy a walk-around feast inspired by the spirit of All Hours and the way New York eats: boldly, creatively and without boundaries.

From Caribbean flavors and New York classics to globally inspired dishes and chef-driven comfort food, every bite reflects the neighborhoods, communities and cultures that make New York one of the world's most exciting food cities. Paired with cocktails, wine and beer, the evening celebrates the diversity and creativity of modern dining through the eye of Kwame himself.

Then, D-Nice takes the rooftop. The acclaimed DJ, artist and cultural force known for bringing people together through music—from his groundbreaking Club Quarantine sets to some of the country’s biggest cultural stages—will bring his signature sound and energy to Pier 17, turning the evening into an unforgettable Saturday night celebration overlooking the Manhattan skyline.

The first 750 attendees will also receive a copy of Kwame's highly anticipated cookbook, All Hours, making the evening both a one-of-a-kind culinary experience and a celebration of the book's release.

A cookbook launch. A chef-curated feast. A D-Nice set. A rooftop party unlike any other.
