CHICAGO, Nov. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- While the
dining room is the center of American family traditions during the
holiday season, not everyone has one. In fact, the average
New York City apartment is nearly
half the size of the US average.1 That's why
Marie Callender's, part of the
Conagra Brands portfolio [NYSE: CAG] is helping New Yorkers enjoy
the comforts of home, in three celebrity designed dining rooms
that can be reserved to host holiday gatherings.
The Dining Room by Marie
Callender's, located at 68 Greene St. in SoHo, is a
three-dining-room space co-designed by Jennie Garth, Stacy
London and Daphne Oz, in
conjunction with celebrity event planner Platinum Events. Those who
reserve a room can host up to 15 guests, depending on the room.
Guests will be served a three-course meal featuring elevated
comfort foods like Fried Mashed Potato Bites, Vermont White Cheddar
Mac & Cheese and Pumpkin Pie Broiler S'Mores, inspired by and
featuring Marie Callender's meals,
pot pies and desserts in an inventive, unique way.
Anyone can reserve a room at The Dining Room by Marie Callender's by making a minimum
$100 donation to Habitat for Humanity
New York City at thediningroombymariecallenders.tocktix.com,
beginning today. The reservation includes the use of one of the
dining rooms from 7 to 9 p.m. Eastern
on one evening between December
12-17.
Additionally, The Dining Room by Marie
Callender's will be open to the public for walk-throughs
from 12-4 p.m. EST December 10 and 17.
"I've always had a passion for home décor and entertaining, so
being able to design a room in The Dining Room by Marie Callender's, just felt right to me," said
Garth. "There's nothing better than enjoying comfort foods with
loved ones, and if you aren't able to be with family this season,
this is a special way to enjoy the comforts of home away from
home."
Marie Callender's hopes The
Dining Room by Marie Callender's
inspires everyone to slow down and savor the season with their
family and friends. Visit mariecallendersmeals.com for holiday
recipes, tips and more.
