Overview
What's better than a laneway party? A free one that gives back to the community, which is exactly what the team behind Kyiv Social is hosting in Chippendale.
From Sunday, June 2, between 1–9pm, the Plate It Forward crew is hosting a huge community-focused event at Kyiv Social, which will continue every month. Partnering with the likes of Young Henrys, LP's Quality Meats and Ukrainian DJs, the hospo team aims to bring the community together for good food, good vibes and a good cause.
The laneway between The Lansdowne and Kyiv Social will be transformed into an outdoor food- and bev-focused hangout, serving to shine a light on those impacted by the war in Ukraine in the process. Plus, newly arrived refugees from the country will be present to engage with their fellow Sydneysiders, with the hope that these events will help build a strong sense of community.
On the food and beverage lineup, there will be Ukrainian-style hotdogs featuring Luke Powell's beef and pork sausages with horseradish mayo, fried shallots and Kyiv's house slaw — plus Kyiv sliders starring cabbage slaw, a herb and garlic butter, and sandwiched by a steamed milk bun.
To wash it all down, the exclusive Beloved Ukranian Lager from the Young Henrys crew will be on offer, along with other crowd-pleasing sips.
To top off the event lineup, the Melbourne-based Lehenda Ukrainian Dance Company is bringing its 40-person ensemble to the event for an exclusive performance.
Head to Grafton Lane — behind Broadway's heritage-listed building — from 1–9pm on Sunday, June 2, and then every first Sunday of the month, to join in on the fun.
