Mark your calendars! The most cherished (and sorely missed) chefs the Valley has ever known will be taking up residency at Sub Rosa for three weeks in October!

On October 16th, 23rd & 30th, will be debuting her 𝕍𝔼𝔾𝔸ℕ (& GF!) ℙ𝕆ℝ𝕂 𝔹𝔸𝕆 𝔹𝕌ℕ𝕊 along with some insanely delicious sides that will BLOW YR MIND!!! **If you had a chance to get yr hands on one of their vegan pork bánh mìs last summer, you know what I'm talking about!!**

If you don't already know, Unmi Abkin is a five-time semifinalist for the James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef Northeast. She has opened and operated three restaurants in MA and has spent the last three years in Paris, where she began reimagining some of the food she is known for into plant-forward MASTERPIECES. We are honored to welcome her back to the Valley, and she is ready to blow yr minds!

Unmi is the co-author of 𝑪𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑲𝒊𝒎𝒄𝒉𝒊 along with her husband, Roger Taylor. She has taken inspiration from her childhood in Korea, Mexico and California and is best known for food that is both balanced and vibrant, with a clarity of flavor that is uniquely her own.

We all know the demand for good food in the Valley is HiGH, but the fan base for Unmi's food is unmatched! No tickets, no reservations - just your love of bao.

We can't wait 🌹

Two years ago today, our friends and our friends' friends bought tickets to a dance party fundraiser in the empty space that would become Sub Rosa just six months later (the walls were painted, that's about it)...

For those who don't know, in August/ September 2023, we ran a month-long, 2:1 matching fundraiser with a goal of raising 20K from our community so that we could receive 40K from a state-funded small biz program. 375 people donated to help us reach our goal! We bought most of our furniture and bar equipment with this $$$ and to this day, our only investors in this project are the folks who gave to that fundraising campaign.... AND those of you who show up to support us / share space / have drinks whenever you can. We truly wouldn't exist without your belief in us - from before we opened and everyday since.

We know the world is continuing to get more and more difficult to navigate - which makes it continuously more strange 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒅𝒂𝒚 in order to keep holding space / keep our doors open. We hope you know that we are filled with immense gratitude for all of y'all who show up for SR whenever you can ❤️‍🔥

Today, on the two-year anniversary of our first-ever dance party, we want to THANK & for putting your reputations on the line / your names on the bill and calling the bodies to the dance floor to help booooost our fundraising efforts. We are forever grateful for how y'all showed up and breathed life and vibes into the space. We love y'all. Should we do it again?🌹

A feast for your eyes and hearts and bodies all weekend long.

Contrary to the rumors around town, summer is NOT almost over! The deep summer colors are just starting to show off in our field... but the daylight is dimming and we don't have to think too hard to know what's on the horizon.

Let's be in the now together - come immerse yourselves in our gorgeous harvests.

Beyond the now, we're making plans for some pop-ups and dance parties and book launches and vinyl nights over the next few months...so if you haven't already, PLEASE sign up for the SR newsletter on our website. It's where all the good Club Rosa announcements will be heading. (IG is not where it's at / not where we want to be, so please help us leave zuck behind!)

Don't be a stranger - we're missing you 🌹

Everyday, we are feeling so beyond privileged to grow food and flowers and swim in clean water and feast our eyes on the rolling hills and listen to the midsummer bugs and have cool weather at night and use our bodies to get around and listen to music and see our people.

Everyday forever, we will be collecting donations for -- we can even make you an ice cream float with the Pal Cola. Thank you to all y'all who take your sodas to-go and/or add them onto your cocktail order as if you're the thirstiest person ever...

Come be with us and be sad and angry and confused about how much more devastating everything keeps getting....all while we live in the most beautiful place.

BYO food again. HG bread and sundaes will be flowing.

See you tonight 🌹

Will you join us this weekend? We're back tonight and we'd love to see you.

The next few months are what the local bizzes experience as the slowest time of the year, which honestly has the capacity to throw us into a tailspin of existential questions about SR ...

So we're here to tell you that leaving town on the weekends to 'go to the beach' is no longer cool. In your heart, you know that it's way cooler to be at SR talkin s**t bout the end stage, building community, reading books, drawing flowers, listening to bops with your boo, flirting with your crush, and letting everyone in the bar know about the latest azzi & paige sighting...

But seriously, we 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 to see you - especially in these slowest, hardest times.

We'll see you soon 🌹

06/26/2025

We are CLOSED starting this Saturday 6/28!

This is your official invitation to come through tonight 6/26 or tomorrow 6/27.... Otherwise we won't see you until July 10th!

We'll still be toiling away in the hot farm fields, but we need to take a beat at SR for some refreshening and to take down our favorite art show...

LAST CHANCE to see 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒆 before .argue takes his amazing work back to NYC !

Bring us all your good vibes - we could all use some loving 🌹

Who knows how long SR will exist - the dissonance of end stage capitalism is louder than ever. But while we have physical space to share, it will always exist to build community.

We hope you're finding your people. If not now, when?🌹

Currently, she's developing a Massachusetts-based research project called Black Provincetown exploring Black and LGBTQ placemaking, collective memory, leisure and joy in Ptown and the outer cape. Her most well known book, How to Be Less Stupid About Race: On Racism, White Supremacy and the Racial Divide (Beacon Press), is a critically acclaimed primer on systemic racism that combines memoir, critical race theory, social commentary and satire to debunk common misconceptions about race. Crystal's work can be found in national and international venues like France24, The Sunday Times, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Root,The New Republic, Washington Post and Al Jazeera among others.

We have been in production all week, preparing for a private event that we - and so many loved ones in our community - have been looking forward to for over a year. If you feel some magic in the Valley this weekend, it's probably a vortex created by all the q***rs breaking it down on a barn dance floor in an undisclosed location on Saturday night....

Our freelancers arrive to the Valley tonight and if you pop by SR on Thursday, you might have a chance to rub elbows with the best designers/sculptors/florists in the biz!

That said, because our sched is a little wild...
