HOLDTIGHT presents Stir & Settle 

A Fall Dinner Soiree in collaboration with Chef Arianna Shaljian 

Spend an evening with us enjoying a beautiful, 5-course seasonal meal seeded with intentional conversation, interactive surprises, & special musical performances by a HOLDTIGHT collaborator. 

Thursday, November 16th, 2023 

6:30-10pm 

Private Parlor in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn 

*(address will be emailed to you post-ticket purchase)* 

Ticket includes: 5-course seasonal meal, welcome drink (N/A version will be available), table wine, musical performances by a current HOLDTIGHT collaborator, Amanda Wallace, and impeccable times with new & old friends. 

This evening serves as a nod to HOLDTIGHT Company's Nourishment beginnings where we incorporated food with performance experiences to tantalize all five-senses through unique happenings. While this is more of a fall soiree (and a full meal!), HOLDTIGHT is thrilled to share this new collaboration with the amazing Chef Arianna, who has been putting on regular "Family Meals" to bring people together under the umbrella of a dinner.

Recipes are inspired by old family dishes, precious ingredients, and new culinary ideas. We want to make you feel like family, bonding over the experience of new and old dishes, passing the bread, musical interludes, food for thought, + sitting together on a autumnal night. 

***We would love to cater to every food allergy/preference, but as of right now we just don't have the capacity. Please contact us if you foresee having issues with dairy + alliums, as they are almost fixed in the menu. **There will be vegetarian options on the table at every course.

Arianna Shaljian is a new lil chef, channeling her creativity into hosting dinners around Brooklyn. Food has always been central to Arianna’s identity and memory, so hosting seemed like the best way to express herself and tell her story. Pulling from word of mouth family recipes, and deep-diving into her Armenian heritage, Arianna curates a menu that blends new ideas with classics, and nods to her years of serving in restaurants. Sharing food is like no other bonding experience, and she wants to make sure everyone feels like family. Follow along with her dinner parties on Instagram @wearethreeofcups
