Simply put…
Al Fresco Picnics offers more than just a luxury dining experience—it’s an unforgettable escape. We invite our guests to bask in the beauty of Central Park, sip refreshing drinks, and indulge in delicious snacks , all while soaking up the warmth of a summer day and taking in the breathtaking Manhattan skyline. What could be better?
Gabby and Dan launched Al Fresco Picnics in April 2021, driven by a love for creating memorable, beautifully curated outdoor experiences. We thrive on the creativity of each setup and the joy on our customers' faces—especially when it’s a surprise! There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing that it was everything they dreamed of and more. Today, we’re proud to have a growing team of talented picnic coordinators who share our passion for thoughtful design and unforgettable moments—and they’re doing an amazing job!
