Up Next: 2018 Schedule

Some changes to our scheduled activities

It’ll take a while before the whole website is updated with the new information – I’ll be working on that over the break.

SUNDAYS  |  Workshops 6:30–9pm
MONDAYS  |  Workshops 6:30–9pm

Our Workshops have become very popular, selling out quite often; as a result, we have been offering additional classes on subsequent dates. We’ve put some of these on Sunday nights, and that has proven to be a convenient time for many people. To make it as easy as possible for our instructors, it’s best if we can run classes on back-to-back dates, so I’m going to start scheduling workshop for Sunday nights, and if there is overflow, we can carry over the classes on to Monday nights as well.

We’re also going to be increasing the prices of our Workshops from $50 to $60. I’ve done a bit of research and many of our workshops we offer are less than half the price of equivalent classes in other locations around the city! Ironically, I believe The Dep also pays our instructors more than anywhere else: 60% of the ticket price! But like everyone else, we need to keep up with rising food costs, rent, etc. The increase will be split between instructors and The Dep, so that they will all take home a bit more from each class, and still be a great value for participants.

Note: I will send out a special discount coupon to anyone purchasing a Gift Certificate in December 2017 for $10 off any workshop in 2018 so that their Certificates can still be redeemed for a full workshop ticket.

1st TUESDAYs  |  Table Talks 6–9pm

Our popular speaker series with dinners by Dep founder Len Senater will continue on the 1st Tuesday of each month.

WEDNESDAYS  |  Newcomer Kitchen 6–7pm

Newcomer Kitchen will resume — hopefully, pending successful fundraising in December — in late Jan, but will be now be on Wednesdays instead of Thursdays.

THURSDAYS  |  Drop-In Dinners 6-9pm

The Dep’s popular Drop-In Dinner series will move to Thursday nights. Come check out a different guest chef each week.

FRIDAYS  |  Private Events  6-11pm

Many people host their own private parties at The Dep, so we’re dedicating Friday nights specifically for this.

SATURDAYS  |  Supper Club  7:30-10:30pm

Our fabulous family-style dinner parties will continue on Saturday nights

SATURDAY & SUNDAYS  |  Brunch — 10am–2:30pm

We’re stoked to have Mazeh, a great new Middle Eastern-inspired brunch, on the go every Sat & Sun.
