What started as a one-off event centered around community and good soup has grown into chapters nationwide, all with a mission of providing comforting meals and giving back to local justice organizations. Celebrating eight years, Queer Soup Night is returning to where it all started, right here in Brooklyn.
On January 20, the community collective will celebrate its eighth anniversary and its "inauguration commiseration" edition on one night at Bed Stuy's C'mon Everybody. Simmering soups, including a vegan option, will be provided courtesy of chefs Erica Lezama and Jordan Smith paired with bread from Newlight Breadworks. No tickets are required, but a suggestion donation is encouraged. Donations will benefit Brooklyn’s Amandla Collective.
