The long table — a note on the dinners I plan
Why so many of my trips end at a table for twelve in someone's home, and why I think you should say yes.
Автор: Ekaterina · March 30, 2026
There is a moment on almost every trip I plan where I put a guest at a long table with strangers — usually in a home, usually outdoors, usually on the last or second-to-last night.
People are wary of it, and then they aren't. Something happens at a long table that does not happen anywhere else on a trip. You end up talking to the person on your left for an hour because the person on your right is deep in a conversation of their own. You eat things you would not have ordered. You stay too late.
I think of it as the punctuation of a good trip. The exclamation point before the plane home.
Say yes to the long table.
