HAGS, New York City’s acclaimed, queer-owned culinary gem, has announced the return of its popular Pay-What-You-Can Farm Dinner Series for the summer. Beginning this Wednesday, June 3, the tiny but mighty restaurant will open its doors every Wednesday evening for a five-course prix fixe experience featuring produce fresh from the farmers market and offered on a pay-what-you-can basis.
Co-founded by James Beard-nominated Chef Telly Justice and Wine Director Camille Lindsley, HAGS has built its reputation on inclusion, collaboration, accessibility and inclusion in haute cuisine. Named one of Bon Appétit’s “Best New Restaurants” and lauded by The New York Times, HAGS is a space built "by Queer people for all people."
Returning for its second year, this mid-summer series celebrates the peak of New York’s produce season. Every Wednesday morning, Chef Telly and her team head to the Union Square Greenmarket to source fresh ingredients. The five-course menu is conceptualized and written day-of, shaped entirely by what they've found at the market. Dinners are completely unique from week to week, featuring a menu separate from their standard nightly offerings. Both omnivore and vegan/gluten-free options are available.
To complement the evolving plates, Camille Lindsley and the beverage team have curated a fixed-price beverage experience featuring thoughtful wine pours designed to elevate the day’s harvest.
While the meal carries a suggested price of $100 per person, guests are invited to pay whatever they can, mirroring the restaurant’s successful Sunday brunch program.
"Like our Sunday Brunch, you can pay what you want, and enjoy this seasonal menu at the price of your choosing," the HAGS team shared.
While the food is PWYC, beverages are fixed-price and tax is not included. Gratuity remains entirely optional.
Reservations are limited to one per guest and are now live on Resy. Grab a seat to experience the most collaborative, spontaneous and inclusive dinner ticket in NYC this summer.
