Welcome to Break Bread Sundays, a project of Good People Dinners.

Break Bread brings together innovative leaders and thinkers to consider the roots of government and democracy, civic participation and civil discourse.

A large family style farm to table dinner is included in the ticket price, prepared by a professional chef.

Conversations at these dinners are off the record and vulnerability and risk-taking in our dialogues are strongly encouraged.

This series aspires to weave social fabric across all of the diverse and thoughtful people of San Francisco. Good faith disagreement is encouraged, as is the exploration of shared hopes and dreams. Civility and refraining from personal attacks is required.

Sample topics include citizen assemblies, voting rights, virtuous deep fakes, AI and politics, questioning or reinventing our social contracts, creating reliable infrastructure, rethinking healthcare and more.

At every dinner we reserve five places for under-represented or low income community members to participate free of charge. We ask these guests to contact us directly to reserve such spots.

Expect cocktails at 6:00 and our speaker around 6:45 with a family style feast introduced around 7:00, prepared by our professional chef. Wines will be thoughtfully paired with the menu.

ATTIRE: Attire is relaxed and informal.

Please email us at least 72 hours in advance if you have any dietary restrictions and we'll do our best to accommodate them.

ABOUT GP DINNERS:

GP Dinners is a community built around meaningful ​conversations and delicious feasts, a moveable social club for those who value authenticity, a better way to connect with each other. Since 2012 we have hosted over 400 dinners, overnights and retreats. We've produced events in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, New York City, Miami, Austin, London, Singapore and deep in the Nevada desert.

Every event includes speakers on a wide range of topics and chef prepared meals.

In 2021 we established our own retreat venue in the mountains near Yosemite National Park, about 140 miles due east of San Francisco. and has hosted about 35 companies and organizations and counting. These groups are usually impact oriented, often touching on the arts or education, addressing climate change and ecological regeneration or with ambitions to create other kinds of deep systemic change.

ABOUT MANNY'S:

The goal of Manny’s is to create a place to go to engage in civic and political life.

We’re a place to go to watch the presidential debates, to actually meet the people working on the front lines of social change, to discuss the issues that matter with the policy makers themselves.

On top of this, imagine a place where you can go just to hang in what feels like an extension of your living room. That’s Manny’s.

We offer our events space to nonprofits, activists, and civic organizations to do their work as well as host our own civic and arts-related programming.

We are committed to the community, aspire to be useful, and welcome every single person into our doors with heart.

We can’t wait to meet you.
