Cocktail Hour & Dinner with Smithereens NYC brings chef-owner Nick Tamburo to White Barn Inn Restaurant on November 6, 2026, for a meal inspired by his New England roots. It is one evening in a two-day residency for the New York City restaurant, whose approach to coastal cuisine is the focus of its Maine visit.
A New England meeting point
Tamburo’s dinner draws on the region that helped shape his cooking. His host has its own regional focus: White Barn Inn describes its regular cuisine as contemporary New England cooking and says it sources ingredients through relationships with farmers, fishermen and foragers in the region.
That gives the setting context, not a preview of the dishes. The event listing does not name a menu or promise particular ingredients. Diners with allergies or other dietary needs should ask the inn about the meal before booking.

Friday within the residency
White Barn Inn lists the Smithereens culinary weekend for November 6–7, but the published cocktail-hour and dinner details are for Friday. Anyone considering a longer visit should contact the inn about Saturday’s itinerary rather than assume the Friday meal repeats.
