Join friends and supporters of Housing Works for a multi-course meal brought to you by Camille Becerra. Camille is a celebrated chef, food stylist, and author recognized for her influence on New York City’s restaurant scene. Becerra has left her mark on downtown New York with restaurants such as Navy, Café Henrie, and DeMaria – the latter earning a James Beard Award for design.

Thursday night's dinner kicks-off our weekend-long anniversary festivities, including a Q&A with Camille hosted by Jaymee Sire. Friday follows up with a special concert by Suzanne Vega, June 12th, and a two-day shopping extravaganza June13th & 14th – all to raise much-needed funds for Housing Works’ lifesaving services and advocacy. For thirty years, the Housing Works Bookstore has been more than a place to buy books – it is a unique destination for art, culture, music, coffee, and community. We invite you to rediscover our quintessentially New York institution and the community that sustains and uplifts all of us!
