KitchenAid offers $1,000 "gather grants" to help create opportunities to gather, host and connect over a shared meal

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season, KitchenAid is making it easier than ever to connect with Room To Host, an immersive pop-up kitchen and dining experience in New York City offering guests a chance to elevate their holiday hosting and create memorable gatherings.

The bookable space, located in New York's iconic West Village neighborhood at 137 7th Avenue South, features a fully functional kitchen, inspired by the new KitchenAid^® major appliance line in the Juniper colorway. Room To Host offers a multi-sensory experience, preparing recipes using the new line of appliances with guidance from professional chef and TV personality Claire Robinson.

Beginning Thursday, November 13 at 8:00 p.m. ET, consumers aged 21+ within 60 miles of the West Village can enter to reserve a spot in the Room To Host pop-up and invite up to 11 guests for a complimentary dinner party by visiting kitchenaid.com/room-to-host. Limited reservations are available.

"Despite being constantly connected online, in today's world we feel more disconnected than ever from the people and activities that help keep us grounded," said Shannon Blakely, Vice President, CMO North America, Whirlpool Corporation. "With Room to Host, KitchenAid is making space this holiday season for people to get back to creating together — meals, memories, and connections."

Antoni Porowski, New York Times best-selling author, home-cooking enthusiast and food and wine expert on Queer Eye, helped unveil the space with an intimate VIP event in the West Village on Oct. 28. Fans can follow his social channels for a look at the space and the new major appliance line.

"Food has a special way of bringing people together," said Porowski. "Through Room To Host, KitchenAid offers a beautiful backdrop, expert inspiration and all the tools they need to make the most of their time together in the kitchen this holiday season."

But the festivities don't end in New York. In a season when so many crave connection, KitchenAid is also awarding 10 "gather grants" of $1,000 each to help consumers across the U.S. cultivate genuine moments of togetherness. All entrants will also have the opportunity to win a complete suite of the newly-released KitchenAid^® major appliance line.
