The Chef: Joe Haddad

Joe Haddad is a cook, creative director, and gardener, living and working in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn. His dishes take equal inspiration from his mother’s childhood family dinners and the cutting edge of New York City’s fine dining. His food—often focused on the fundamentals of butchery, open fire cooking, preservation, and seasonal usage—aims to refresh our experience of classic ingredients, revealing new and deeper qualities. The menu is forever changing.

Location: Lake Sebago

Lake Sebago is the largest lake in Harriman State Park, tucked into the Ramapo Mountains of New York. Surrounded by dense forest and quiet hillsides, it’s a peaceful spot for swimming, kayaking, and lakeside picnics. With its calm waters, scenic trails, and rustic charm, Lake Sebago offers a perfect escape for nature lovers just a short drive from the city.

The Workshop: Craft Society

a creative duo aiming to make art and craftwork accessible to young New Yorkers. We use the term “craft” very loosely and inclusively. Craft is something passed on through generations- our grandmothers taught us how to knit as young girls. Community is integral to “craft”; When we host workshops, people are constantly talking through ideas together, asking each other questions, and collaborating on their projects.
