Dine for the High Line returns on September 25, 2026

Thank you to everyone who joined and supported Dine for the High Line on Friday, September 12, 2025! We heard from the Conservancy’s new CEO, Suzanna Fry Jones, and celebrated our 2025 High Line Hero awardees, the Great Lengths for the High Line committee co-chairs Paula Herzmark, Dirk and Carol McDermott and Tom and Margie Gart for their leadership and success in the campaign and Nina B. Itin Volunteer Impact awardees GirlTrek for their incredible achievement leading several 71-mile Canal walks to support black women’s health and well-being.

It was a beautiful event filled with laughter, cheer and partnership. Thank you to our sponsors, event host committee, vendors and volunteers who made this event possible. We could not have done it without you.
