About this event
Tuesday, August 5, 2025, 11:00 AM
Join us for an exciting luncheon event at the Javits Center. We start with a tour of the Javits Center’s sustainability efforts, featuring the largest green roof in NY State, a rooftop orchard and a one-acre farm. We end with a multi-course farm-to-table gourmet luncheon, created especially for Women’s Connection.
From more than eight stories above street level, you will learn about th
e benefits of sustainable building while dining on cuisine created with the rooftop produce. You will hear how this iconic venue has become a nationwide model of sustainability.
The roof-to-table Lunch and Learn program is the latest step in the award-winning sustainable journey, which includes the largest green roof in New York State, a wildlife habitat and a robust energy conservation program.

"Wonderful Tour!"
