Anecdote - Glimpses of India

This Diwali season (Sunday, November 15 and Monday, November 16), we welcome you to the first installation of Glimpses of India, a tasting menu of coffee, tea, and snacks inspired by the flavors of India.

Through these tasting menus, our aim is to highlight interesting coffees and teas, and to present the traditional flavors of India in a modern and artful way.

For the first installation of Glimpses of India, we are working with Chef Alina Santamaria of Eleven Madison Park. It will feature six courses of sweet and savory snacks, and five of those courses will be paired with a coffee or tea.

Vol 1. Menu:

Mousse with Rose and Honey (Jasmine Pearl, Fujian, China)

Sponge Cake with Orange Blossom and Saffron (La Cabra Kenya Kiangoi, SL28, Rungeto FCS, Kirinyaga, Kenya)

Chai, Deconstructed

Paani Puri

Madras Coffee with Shakkarpara, Alfajor and Rusk

Affogato with Vanilla Beans and Dates (Maru Kemi Blend, 60% Washed Ethiopia + 40% Washed Columbia)

We're incredibly excited to serve you some delicious food and coffee, and we hope you experience a side of India you've never seen before.

FAQ

How much does a ticket cost? Do you offer any discounts?

Each ticket costs $100, and includes access for one guest during your selected timeslot.

However, we are currently offering a handful of free tickets; in an effort to increase the accessibility of art, Analogue Group is sponsoring three full-priced tickets to Glimpses of India. If your financial situation prohibits you from attending the event, please email Neel at [email protected]. If your situation qualifies for a sponsored ticket, we will email you a $100 discount code that you can use at checkout.

How long does each seating last?

Each seating lasts one hour from the start of your timeslot. We ask that you arrive no later than five minutes past your ticket time, as we will not be able to wait for late arrivals.

How many guests can each seating accommodate?

Each seating can accommodate 10 guests.

How much caffeine will I have in total?

Around 1.5 - 2 full cups of coffee. Light work!

What is your cancellation & refund policy?

If you let us know that you are unable to attend before 11:59PM EST on November 11, we will attempt to transfer your ticket to someone on the waitlist. If the waitlist is empty or if we are not able to find a replacement for your seat, we sadly cannot issue a refund. Cancellations on or after November 12 will not be issued a refund.

Are you able to accommodate for allergies?

Due to the highly complex nature of the dishes, we sadly cannot accommodate for any allergies for this chapter. Hopefully next time!
