On June 24, 2021, Stereo Dinner welcomed 30 guests to the table for Ramones Recollection Dinner with Monte A. Melnick and Lenny Kaye.
Over three spectacular courses at Bar Primi on the Bowery in New York City, the guests of honor regaled the sold-out dinner group with stories and memorabilia about the seminal punk rock band, The Ramones. Attendees mingled with and asked questions of Melnick, Ramones Tour Manager from 1974 – 1996, and Kaye, historian and guitarist for Patti Smith Group.
All involved enjoyed a delicious experience.
“Just a note to let you know how much I enjoyed last night's festivities … the audience so appreciative, the setting and eats and drinks so comfortable, and the vibe in the room one of celebrating the legacy of the Ramones and the wacky hijinks that transpired down the block so many years ago … and yet only yesterday.”
— Lenny Kaye, event host
“Just want to say I too had a GREAT time. Everything Lenny said about the event I fully agree.”
— Monte A. Melnick, guest of honor
“Like minds, new & old friends gathered for a delicious dinner at Bar Primi, wonderful recollections & conversation with Lenny & Monte. The energy in the room was so happy and alive!”
— Michael Malone, dinner guest
“It’s a great way to get out of that mono mix and blend into a harmonious experience. Stated otherwise, with Stereo Dinner, you can be the fanboy or fangirl that you always secretly dreamed of being.”
— Dave U. Hall, dinner guest
“Thank you to Monte and Lenny, and to Stereo Dinner who made it possible for us to hang out with living legends!”
— Rick Johnson, dinner guest
“I attended the first Stereo Dinner as a guest, and the second working in close collaboration with the very gifted team, so I can attest to the 360 degree magic and care that goes into every detail of these events. Don't miss one.”
— Lauren Cerand, dinner guest & collaborator on A Table in Paris Live
