Serious Eats: New York
Events: Taste of the Nation NYC
Or, 'Pig Out to Feed Hungry People'
Hunger relief organization Share Our Strength's annual Taste of the Nation New York City benefit is this Wednesday, May 14, at the Roseland Ballroom.
SOS is a terrific organization that supports hunger-relief efforts all over the country. Plus, it's an organization that knows how to throw a helluva party. This year, more than 50 restaurants will be cooking at and for the event, including Gramercy Tavern, Blue Hill, Esca, and Hill Country. So if you pony up the money ($375 for a ticket that, among other things, gets you in an hour early to avoid long lines, or $275 for general admission), you end up eating great food and drinking to your heart's content for a really good cause.
Tickets available at newyorktaste.org or by calling 1-877-268-2783.
