NEW YORK CITY — Union Square Partnership announced the return of Harvest 2026 – A Benefit for Union Square Park that is set to return in November.

The event will be held on Tuesday, November 10, at Civic Hall.

Now in its 28th year, the annual fall event will bring together chefs, restaurants and bars from the Union Square area for an evening showcasing the neighborhood’s culinary scene.

Guests will be able to sample food and beverages from participating establishments, with proceeds supporting the care and beautification of Union Square Park.

This year’s lineup includes newcomers such as Leon’s, Osteria Figa, Len Len, Vinile Chophouse, Narkara, Kanyakumari, Mission Ceviche, Roll Over Kimbap and Bernie & Herb’s, along with established destinations including Michelin-starred Rezdôra, Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, Oceans, Pete’s Tavern, Knickerbocker Bar & Grill, Breads Bakery and Tarallucci e Vino.

The event will also feature craft cocktails, wine, beer, zero-proof beverages and locally roasted coffee, as well as a special Time Out Market Union Square experience.

“Harvest is truly the best of Union Square in a single night. It is a rare chance to connect directly with the chefs behind our beloved neighborhood staples and the exciting new spots that opened this year,” Julie Stein, Executive Director of Union Square Partnership, said.

“Come hungry and leave with a running list of new places to visit. Most importantly, every ticket purchase fuels our daily work to beautify and care for Union Square Park, keeping this vital public space vibrant and welcoming for all New Yorkers.

Funds raised will help support maintenance of the park’s plazas, lawns and seating areas, along with Union Square Partnership’s Clean Team, Public Safety Officers and free public programming.
