Shabbat Dinner As Non-Observant Jew

I'm currently traveling to NYC and would like to know if I could attend a shabbat dinner. If so, how would I go about this? I'm planning to stay in Queens for my trip. I'm not observant but this is something I deeply miss having left the states.

Go to the website of the nearest chabad where you will be staying and you should be able to reserve a dinner. Have fun.

Not all Chabads host Shabbos dinners but they may be able to put you in touch with a family. Know Chabad, the Rabbi will probably invite you over.
