AlwaysPartying: City Harvest’s Summer in the City

Arthur Bovino & The Hungry Goat — June 24, 2009

Le Marais’ Spicy Lamb Chili with Avocado Mousse (Chef Mark Hennessey)

Last night, City Harvest, a nonprofit group that helps feed hungry New Yorkers, hosted its annual fundraising event for young professionals, Summer in the City, at the Metropolitan Pavillion. The tasting and cocktail party featured food from more than 30 renowned restaurants. Many of New York’s well-known chefs attended to dish up great food for a good cause. VIP ticket-holders had access to a special lounge which featured chef and mixology demonstrations by Marc Murphy, Ron Ben-Israel, Alex Guarnaschelli, Employees Only, Leah Cohen and Jason Neroni, and fare from Cuba and Victor’s Café, whose red and white sangria bar particularly impressed.
