The Javits Center has created an exciting new luncheon event series called Lunch + Learn at the Farm – providing guests with an inside look at our one-acre rooftop farm on Manhattan’s West Side. Guests will learn about the benefits of sustainable building while dining on cuisine created with our very own homegrown produce – from more than eight stories above street level! Guests will hear from our experts who have helped to transform this iconic venue into a model of sustainability. Our roof-to-table program is the latest step in our award-winning sustainable journey, which includes the largest green roof in New York State, a wildlife habitat and a robust energy conservation program.
