For a while now, we've been embracing a modern approach to entertaining that isn't laden with formality. To that end, we've been collecting dining ideas in offbeat settings (from greenhouses to industrial loft spaces to urban gardens).
Looking for inspiration for your next party? Here are five ideas for dining in unusual settings:
